I really cannot complain concerning Workplace because it may be a free on-the-cloud system. However, recently, Workplace doesn’t enable the corporate Alumni to use the company workplace anymore. This is smart however it causes us to migrate from our Alumni group to a different platform. Nevertheless, we’ll still use workplace as our non-work-related channel. One other essential factor that I dislike about workplace is the admin platform. The video conferencing feature isn’t accessible within the workplace from FB. No video conference feature introduced yet. Privacy issues are clearly a problem with something that Facebook owns.
