We decided to go with the solution because, from a user point of view, our staff already understands what Facebook can do. So it would be easier to onboard them and the experience felt smoother. We weren't going to teach people very difficult things. Overall, I rate Workplace by Facebook an eight out of ten.
We stopped using the solution in June this year. If someone is already using Microsoft 365, they should see if they could use the built-in capabilities of Yammer rather than paying additional licensing for Workplace. If they are not using the full Microsoft 365 suite, using Workplace would probably make sense. It's safe and familiar looking. Everyone is familiar with the look and feel of how it operates. The licenses seemed quite expensive. I don't think we used all the functionalities of the solution. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
I would recommend the solution because it is so easy to use. If we need to go back to our old files, it's pretty easy to search for them. It is also easy to store new files and videos. The streaming feature is pretty useful for organizations that are similar to ours. The product is useful but does not have all the features an organization might need. It would be better if the features in KiSSFLOW and Workplace were available on one platform. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

The transition between any other tool that you may be using will be easy because if you have used Facebook, you can use Workplace. The biggest lesson we have learned from working with a Workplace is that we should have made the change a lot earlier. On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Workplace about a nine-and-a-half. The lone problem for us is really the limitation on video and call conferencing.
Enterprise Social Software (ESS) refers to enterprise social networking and collaboration tools used in large organizations. They are considered like “LinkedIn for the Enterprise” or “Facebook for the Enterprise.” Web-based technologies offer agile information sharing, integration and emergence capabilities for professionals who look for maximizing productivity, saving time and improving collaboration and transparency.
