This app has provided a very good platform for users to interact with each other with the help of community groups that they are a part of.

What do you like best about Facebook Groups?

FFacebookGroups are a great way to connect and reach the maximum number of people from different demographics.

I found many groups of like-minded people and shared my content with relevant audiences. Not many competitors offer this. I have joined more than 200 groups and it is terrific. Recently I worked on an Indonesian project and the Indonesian FB groups helped me to reach my target audience so easily and market my brand.

I have upscaled my business and services through groups. More people reached out to me through these groups, and I gained great visibility. I use it at least twice a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Groups?

Some harsh group rules. It is working well. No, the group is well enough. It grows slowly but in the end very useful. It is already good. Groups are recommended to the audience. There is spam also found in some groups that can be fraud and risky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Facebook Groups solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping me reach more people, a wider audience in one go. Getting responses from more people from groups. Yes more productive and increases my awareness. Yes increased reach and popularity. The Facebook groups have expanded my reach in different industries of different regions all across the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Facebook Groups?

Facebook Groups are an excellent means of joining small or large communities on Facebook, comprised of likeminded individuals with similar interests. Facebook Groups are incredibly easy-to-use, and provide me with regular notifications relating to activity from the groups I've joined; allowing me to keep up-to-date with posts. I tend to view these groups on a weekly basis.

Within the music groups I have joined, the participants frequently come together to discuss upcoming shows, venues and music from various artists within their region. The types of posts shared in these groups range from updates, to events and general discussions. This is helpful, as there are occassions where I may have missed announcements from the artist themselves, and will later be informed via my Facebook Groups. Therefore, being in these groups acts as a frequent reminder, as well as providing a sense of community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Groups?

Within Facebook Groups, there may be individuals that spam the group with unnecessary messages and information. This has occured when rules have not been explicitly implemented or put-in-place for the entirety of the group. Unfortunately, when this happens, it can defeat the purpose of the groups, and may cause disagreements to occur amongst the participants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Facebook Groups solving and how is that benefiting you?

Facebook Groups are a great way to connect with likeminded individuals, and they act as somewhat of a forum to discuss shared interests. Some of these groups of which can be niche, and are excellent for sharing information and having group discussions.

Being part of music related groups, I regularly hear from others about upcoming concert dates, venues, and new music releases - which is excellent as someone who is fond of music, and allows for me to follow the happenings of the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Groups?

I'd like to be able to sort my conversations into groups so we can work on multiple tasks at one time. Conversations can get lost in the weeds at times. I seem to get a lot of spam messages that are trying to fish for my password, so that's frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT ALLOWS ME TO JOIN A GROUP WITH MY AUTISTIC SON AND KEEP TRACK OF THE PEOPLE THERE THAT MIGHT WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS KINDNESS. ANOTHER REASON IS TO JOIN COMMUNITIES THAT MIGHT BE POSTING INFO I COULD LEARN FROM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Facebook Groups?

Facebook Groups are a wonderful way yo connect and build community that retains engagement! Unlike Facebook as a while, the Facebook Groups offer a small and intimate closed environment where you can stay notified of updates and posts. They keep you coming back! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Groups?

Sometimes there is a difficult and hidden approval process to join certain groups. Being closed from any communication, you really have to wait and be at the liberty of the group admin to be Approved to join the group. The problem is, some admins are not as involved and may not approve people often so you can get tired of waiting to be let in. However, my groups have awesome admins who are on top of new members.

What do you like best about Facebook Groups?

I like the Facebook groups feature as it allows you to connect with certain individuals alike with a business or the same interests that you may share. Creating a group allows you to market any upcoming events, ideas, general communication, and discussion on particular topics of interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Groups?

Depending on the many groups you may create it can become time-consuming to manage them all without a paid individual to manage or volunteer to engage with posts, posing, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Marketing it's a great asset to have as you can simply share the group on any platform to engage the interest of others who may be interested in joining nad share from their initial joining the group(s) you crate that you are not able to reach with just a simple post on a wall as well obtaining a wider audience in what you need.

What do you like best about Facebook Groups?

The plethora of options for every category across Facebook Groups is my favorite part of the platform. One can choose which type of group they want to join within a category based on their needs and requirements. A wonderful way to connect with like-minded folks from across the globe and learn from all. Also, a great platform to showcase your work and get honest feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Groups?

Privacy is a concern for me on Facebook groups as it is mainly an entertainment social media platform. Another downside is dead groups, despite having a huge number of members the groups are dead or just used for random promotions. Lastly, despite adding the guidelines many members tend to ignore them and indulge in unnecessary actions such as online violence and spamming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Facebook Groups solving and how is that benefiting you?

Facebook Groups is helping me understand the global market and mindset better to incorporate in my professional career. Being able to connect with users from across the globe opens up many new learning opportunities and growth paths. I have also joined groups that are not a part of my professional skillset to learn them and be able to use them in my day-to-day activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Facebook Groups?

Facebook Groups is a feature of Facebook that allows me to join groups depending on the topic or interests. Through this feature, I can easily converse with other people with the same interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook Groups?

The thing that I dislike is not about the feature but the people who join Facebook group and violates the rules. Luckily, admins can set rules to manage groups and monitor those who violate the rules of the Facebook group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Facebook Groups helps me to easily seek other people's opinion regarding a topic that I find hard to decide on. It allows me to join a community of people with the same interests or goals.
