Better than Google Hangouts

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

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.

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.

Cons

It sounds just like my text so I can't help looking at the notifications all the time :)

Support your Flock - get the tools to enable collaboration

Reviewed 5 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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!

CA Review

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

The software feels a little clunky when using. Overall it still works well for certain functions

Best VFM alternate there to Slack

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

The feature set cannot be compared with other premium offerings. Integrations are limited and the Slack BOT library feels easy to use.

A great alternative to Slack at a lower cost

Reviewed 7 years ago

A great cost-effective alternative to Slack. With unlimited members and unlimited teams, it really is an excellent tool for startups and SMBs.

Pros

To Do lists and faster speed versus Slack. The software is also lighter and doesn't hog as much hard drive, memory and bandwidth.

Cons

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"

I use Flock as an instant messenger in my office to speak to a couple employees without having to go to their office

Reviewed 7 years ago

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.

Pros

Flock makes it easy to use and notifies you when you have a new message. It is an amazing IM program

Cons

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.

Flock for businesses.

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

If it could do more for Human Resources, you could just use it for everything!
