There are a couple of things that can be improved in the tool. When we are talking about communications, the tool has interoperable cataloging. The only thing that needs a certain level of improvement within Meta is the vernacular, which can be dependent, as we cannot choose the process of communication that is happening in it. After I launch a bot, if I move from one country to another, and if the entire communication is happening in German, while I have just moved from France, and I need to buy a particular choice of vehicle, then I would want the entire communication to happen in my language. What Meta does not allow as of now is that if I am reaching out to you in French, then only you can have the conversation in French. You cannot select a language in the middle of a conversation. If I want to have a conversation in French, there is a very limited selection. Until and unless a conversation is triggered from a particular language, we do not have the option to choose another language. The tool gives you flexibility in the language, but that is on the business and not on the customer, which sometimes limits the approachability aspect.

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.

Storage is the best thing about the solution. We can check the conversations and files from projects that we had three years ago. If we have some training or files and the new hires need to review them, we can store them in the solution. The product also provides a knowledge library that people can access.

Room for Improvement

Group-specific knowledge platforms are needed instead of a general one, and chat rooms could enhance communication in future updates.
