What do you like best about Facebook?

Facebook has a robust ad system that allows marketers to customize their ad experience. It's also seen as an "official" social media platform, almost mandatory for companies to have or else they may seem fake to consumers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook?

If your target is a younger audience, Facebook might not be the best place to spend your money. It's also overwhelming at times with so many options and has a bit of a learning curve. It's also nearly impossible to reach customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My company wants to put messaging in front of audiences, and Facebook makes that possible with targeted campaigns. It also gives consumers a place to contact us if they have any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook?

My account wax just locked because I was linked to a FB member who violated FB terms, per FB. WTF does that mean. FB provided me a link to verify my signon and unlock my profile. The link is broken.

What do you like best about Facebook?

The only benefit is connections and friends Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Facebook?

Where to start? The feeds are highly controlled, they spread fake information, copyrighted materials, spread fear. Worst part is, a normal person can never get hold of a human support! Our page has been inaccessible for years and despite trying every avenue, we just can't reach a human! (we did have a lot of ad spend) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There were two things in mind,

1. Connecting with friends and relatives. This is ok (it used to be very good, but not anymore). We can't really see what they post in our feeds (unless they "promote it"), and instead we see a lot of random non related videos and posts

2. Ads can be very benefical but its a hit and miss. FB can control anything and without reason take measures which you can't contest Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
