What differentiates Workplace from Meta from other similar products?

Integrations . Workplace enable me integrate the platform with everyday business and productivity suites we use in the office. By being able to do the aforementioned, we are getting work done faster and at the same time expanding the primary capabilities of the software being integrated with Workplace. For example, our integration of Workplace with file storage software - Google Drive, makes it convenient and straight-forward to add links to specific files on my Google Drive to my Workplace status, while even making it possible for colleagues viewing my shared status to preview files I am sharing via web-links directly from Workplace.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that Workplace provides me with a variety of ways , with which I can stay connected with my colleagues. Whether I am physically within the office space or not.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I do have reservations about the limited nature of Workplace mobile applications, especially when compared with what is obtainable on the main Workplace application on computer.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For me, I see Workplace as a no-brainer in any modern day organization, with a medium or large sized workforce. It simply aids collaboration and real-time communication.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
