We tried using google hangouts and it was a disaster. This is so much faster than waiting for an email to respond or get a hold of someone.
This took a little getting used to by some of the employees. The GUI can be put together better and we had to restart it a few times to get it to work properly.

Great software to communicate with your colleagues at workplace via PC and smartphones. Automatic summary for the link share
Search option can be enhanced and different shades for the notification can be incorporated(For e.g. seperate color for personal chat and different color for group chat)

Being able to share info and changes with several people all at once is amazing. No o e is out of the loop anymore!
Send group messages or individual. Make custom groups and be able to share info in real time without having to send mass emails
There is nothing that I do not like, the product is user friendly

Just love the app. It makes communication so simple and consistent.
Super for info updates from our managers to the team, super easy to use. Also easy to go back and look up things your manager sent to you.
It sounds just like my text so I can't help looking at the notifications all the time :)

- Integrates well with storage & file management apps such as Google Drive(pre-install), Dropbox, One drive and box. - It has an assistant in case you need help with something, - Can easily create a FlockOS app
- No feature to directly delete a channel that you have created.

Our group of owners was struggling to share real time information about customers, sales opportunities, and technical fixes. Flock provided a platform to streamline those communications and enable everyone to quickly disseminate information. This has increased sales, improved productivity, and generally removed frustration for everyone.
Flock enables disparate people to easily communicate and share information. This improves productivity, reduces frustration, and creates a sense of community, even when the members of the group span from coast to coast.
It's one more tool / app / channel that has to be monitored and responded to. However, it sure does help reduce the # of emails in your inbox!

Overall experience is fairly neutral as I only used it for 1 year to communicate between a large amount of stake holders working in a live shopping centre environment. For communication between the group this worked well, however, I did not test other features.
We used this software to communicate between stakeholders working with a live shopping centre environment. This worked well to add people easily and communicate urgent issues to the whole team via notifications for examples such as stopping noise or water leak identified etc.
The software feels a little clunky when using. Overall it still works well for certain functions

The similarity in UX to Slack helps in setup and running the application very easy. Overall quality of the system is at par with premium alternatives.
The feature set cannot be compared with other premium offerings. Integrations are limited and the Slack BOT library feels easy to use.

It is great for team collaboration if you have teams cross multi sites
Very good design, easy to use, and provide lots of very useful features, especially the video conference which is very good for my team.
The VoIP phone call quality is not good enough, it has echos sometimes.

A great cost-effective alternative to Slack. With unlimited members and unlimited teams, it really is an excellent tool for startups and SMBs.
To Do lists and faster speed versus Slack. The software is also lighter and doesn't hog as much hard drive, memory and bandwidth.
With more advanced features, it's a little less intuitive than Slack. I don't like the lack of passwords though and really don't like that I cannot send a message to myself (which was a great way to send files between my own devices before with Slack). Also, a VERY unfortunate name. A number of our younger staff still giggle when somebody in the office tells them to "flock something to them"

Quick messaging system without a lag. Better features as compared to other messaging applications.
UI. It could be improved according to me. Or maybe I'm just used to other messaging apps like whatsapp so find it a little unusual when I use it at work.

We have tested a few collaboration tools and Flock stands out for its ease of use and decent price point.
Be prepared for frequent email notifications that may be clutter your mailbox. Nevertheless, a great alternative to Slack for startups and SMEs.

Communication issues have been somewhat resolved.
The ability to quickly reach out to the whole team, or specific individuals with information.
It's all or none with notifications. You either recieve a lot or turn the notifications off and recieve none.

I would recommend small companies to use Flock if they don't have an instant message system set up. It sure saves time when you need an answer on something and can just message through Flock instead of waiting for the other employee to be available. It also saves time so I don't have to walk to another employee's office that isn't close to mine. Especially if their door is closed and you just have to go back.
Flock makes it easy to use and notifies you when you have a new message. It is an amazing IM program
They send a lot of messages to you to get others to sign up. This adds to your emails that just have to be deleted. If I wanted to add other people, I would do it.

Since using Flock has been regulated in my office, I have used it enough to let everyone know that it would be of great use for any company to utilize it.
Very easy to deploy, get's messages with meaning to all of the office that needs to see. We also use it for messages through our Human Resources.
If it could do more for Human Resources, you could just use it for everything!
