Intake of whey depends upon your goal and body type. It is always good to natural food for protein intake like egg whites, veggies, sprouts, chicken, etc. But it is ok to take whey when doing workout in gym. Keep in mind to take whey isolate instead of whey concentrate. Whey isolate is good quality protein. See for ingredients list. Also avoid soy protein.

Whey protein can be a good source of protein in diet. It can be taken natural form or in chemical formula... muscle mass build should be more from natural sources of protein.
