Sometimes they post what they need done and can take quotes. > > **Cons**: I wish it was a little more private so my competition couldn't see what I am offering. This would help my business. > > I can get better more informed customers that understand my value. ----- ### "Straight up feedback on why Workplace by Meta is a must for your business" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *30 May 2024* | Outsourcing/Offshoring | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Real time communication and ease of use, we mainly use it as our internal communication tool and it has been greatly beneficial in a sense that we get to talk or discuss as needed with no delays and no hassle. > > **Cons**: Video meeting feature, in terms of smoothness and overall functionality is behind it's main competitors. > > Overall it's been great, it's straight forward, barely had issues and gets the job done. It also has a good interface and implementation which makes it better for us users. ----- ### "Unclear product with confusing objective" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 July 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the idea of having a place on facebook where employees can collaborate. > > **Cons**: The product offering is very unclear. Why do I need to get employees on Workplace? As of now, it creates more liability and headache for a company without any tangible benefit. ----- ### "Surprisingly Great" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 January 2022* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use mainly the Chat function which is quite great. Thanks to its similiarity with Facebook Messenger it is easy to use even for people who are not very good with computers. The chat is usually working quite well and it is suitable even for online meetings. I appreciate the option to ad profile picture, description and pin message in group chats. It helps us a lot. For the other function, we briefly use also classic groups and notes which works good as well. > > **Cons**: Meta is unfortunately known for not having the stablest software so there are sometimes problems. But they are not occuring very often so most of the time we are quite satisfied with using it. We have a lot of chats and group conversations and it is not possible to make my own folders/labels for them which is pity, it would help a lot. ----- ### "Great for teachers\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 October 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I just started using Workplace from Meta this school year. I teach three classes this semester and implemented this software in all three. I like that I am able to inform my students instantly about any material they need. For example, I forgot to mention an example in class about the problems they would be working on for homework. This program allowed me to share a video file going over that problem. I was able to send a notification to my students right away. This helps so I do not receive a million emails that evening asking how to do a problem. I also like that students have the ability to submit assignments. Giving them different means of doing so has helped get my students to complete assignments. > > **Cons**: The only thing I can think of so far was it took a lot of time to get all my students set up on their phones. I'm not sure if the internet was slow that day or if it was because of this program. ----- Page: 1 / 55\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/165817/workplace?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/165817/workplace) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
