Flock

Communication and ideas collaboration

Puntos a favor:

I love the commentaries on the images feature. Flock is a fantastic tool for swiftly sharing visual insights. I love how you can make comments and doodle directly on photographs within the application. Also, the interface is more superficial than Slack, and it has a "spacious" feel to it. I also enjoy that it includes build-in assistance to aid you in learning the ropes.

Puntos en contra:

The least I like, and also the one that has to be improved, is that specific files are not readily available and occasionally become missing, but this is not a significant issue because it does not occur frequently. When using the software, it feels a little complicated. Overall, it still performs admirably for a variety of tasks.

A more user-friendly Slack

Comentarios: We have a completely remote team of about 30 team members. The biggest challenge in running a remote team is integrating communication between people and teams to reduce the distance and increase personal interaction. Flock solved that for us in a big way. Adoption was 100% and everyone always has it online. It has really improved team cohesiveness.

Puntos a favor:

The best feature about Flock is its ease-of-use. Our team is made of diverse members with different technical skills from engineers, designers, project managers to marketers and HR. The most important feature when choosing this was ease of use as that would greatly affect how well the tool would be adopted by the team members.

Puntos en contra:

The administration and enterprise features were are not as robust as the competitors. If one was looking for a compliant enterprise communication tool to pass on sensitive information, I would check elsewhere.

A Powerful Messaging And Internal Communication Tool

Comentarios: The user interface and simple interactive user experience for all functions are a big benefit of utilizing Flock. We may establish polls and meeting reminders, and we can communicate with our team to exchange pertinent information.

Puntos a favor:

For communication, the smartphone app is fantastic. You can use the flock API to trigger alerts and utilize it as a normal messenger. It's incredibly slick, and getting used to it won't take long. The platform is also quite adaptable, and a variety of integrations are offered to teams to assist in streamlining workflow and automating operations.

Puntos en contra:

Its video conferencing is slow and poor. It can be sluggish, and the messages can occasionally arrive with a significant delay. At times, we must have a local repository for the resources.

Just Telegram or Whatsapp with some integrations!

Comentarios: Flock is really good, I recommend it to small IT or ITes company as most of the apps made available for keeping developers and programmers in mind. Whereas for rest it's better to use Telegram with IFTTT and Zapier or Try Workplace by Fb and MS Teams then switching from Slack to Flock. But those who're already using Slack, Flock is like Bullock cart Vs Bently (Slack) and sooner or later either you'll upgrade to Slack or Workplace by Facebook or Teams by MicroSoft.

Puntos a favor:

- Easy to use - Affordable then Slack but not anymore after entry of Workplace by Fb and MS Teams (as they're almost free) - Best in class Support and they're always there to assist you

Puntos en contra:

- A complete dearth of apps and integrations, NOT EVEN the 100 essential apps (by Slack) and must have Integrations are available on Flock, literally you'll regret and repent if you're switching from Slack. As just 54 App integrations are available that too without full functionality. - You can search a file but couldn't click or access it. - A Big NO for Media or Marketing Company as it may take years for you to find the image your teammate posted just 3 months back. - Slowest, let me repeat slowest app development I've ever seen in my life so far. No need to feature requests or app integration suggestions

Effective Collaboration Tool for Teams and Businesses

Comentarios: We use Flock as a basic communication tool and to provide warnings for our live apps. All of our applications receive real-time alerts. It has a number of tools that help teams interact and cooperate successfully, including as messaging, video conferencing, file sharing, and task management. I can get updates on the move by downloading their app to my smartphone.

Puntos a favor:

The finest characteristic of a flock is that it incorporates everything. The flock API may be used to trigger alarms and as a regular messenger, similar to Microsoft Teams. The platform is also extremely customisable, with several connectors available to assist teams in streamlining processes and automating operations. It's really elegant, and getting used to it doesn't take long. It manages to talk wonderfully. It facilitates team collaboration, and I appreciate the recording options, which allow you to save calls for later use. Flock has been with our organisation for a long time and has shown to be a solid tool in helping us expand.

Puntos en contra:

Flock's mobile application does not always provide timely alerts. As a result, if you use the mobile application, you may miss a few notifications or messages. Despite having a fast connection, the Android app occasionally fails. Calling has poor voice quality. It would be good to see a fresh redesign since this would propel Flock to the top of the market. The call feature is subpar. Even when the internet connection is fast, the voice quality is poor.
