Flock Software

Pros

Comprehensive interface, with lots of useful features available even to free users. The To-Do and Notes section is very useful for teams.

Cons

App settings aren't synced by account, which means when you originally sign in through the browser, and start pinning conversations, you're going to have to do it all over again if you install the desktop app.

Pros

No invitation limits and many features that are used daily are for free. For eg. colleagues able to share files with each other and also to delegate tasks to each other. Reminders can also be set.

Cons

Takes some time to get used to the software as there is no manual or tutorial. Unlike other business chat tools, Flock takes a little to get used to due to its extensive features.

Pros

Plug and play with many features available for free. Able to share documents with team members on Flock and able to pin important messages to the top of the chat. All in all, a great tool for communication

Cons

A little difficult to fully grasp how to navigate the software initially due to the many features available. However, after a little while of usage it becomes an indispensable communication tool

Pros

Ability to quickly make team chats. Ability to easily set up conference bridges with dial in numbers is a big selling point.

Cons

Lack of integration with Microsoft suite. Cannot collaborate easily on documents with team members.

It helped my company to grow by allowing us to communicate easily.

Pros

I like it's very user-friendly interface. The app is very straightforward when it comes to its features.

Cons

What I like least about this app is that the admins cannot change the team members' information. Having to change the members' details will requires complicated steps. I hope we can give more power to the admins.

Pros

For me the best thing in this software is the way of dealing with all the issues, because you do not just get a list of them and need to figure out what are all of them, but you can divide them into the different parts to simplify understanding them in prospect for those who are going to solve them. Nevertheless, of all greatness of the bug-tracking system, it is also well-planned collaboration program which allows your colleagues cooperate the most convenient and fast way!

Cons

When you are trying to find any information that you need about bugs which were solved before you have excellent filters so that is not so hard, however, the way you see this information about these errors contains isn’t sufficient information, so I think it must be changed.

1. Easily connect to internal stakeholders.
2. Communication is smooth

Pros

Easy to use. Easily connected to internal stakeholders at work.
It's very user friendly. Can be accessed on laptop and phone both.

Cons

Flock is down sometimes but I understand that there are days like that. You guys have been extremely proactive in updating us abt the same hence no complaints!

Easier communication

Pros

Ease of use and communicate with others.
I am able to create channel/groups to communicate to specific teams.
It also allows integration with bots to set reminders. These are useful features.

Cons

It updates the conversations slow when using on my phone.
The @all function is a bit irritating. I would recommend to change it to other color contrast with @me, so that it can be differentiate easier.

Pros

I really love to use flock as it is best place to explore new features.
Its far better than Slack as if I wanted to find some pervious data, I can easily go for search option and tailor it out..
I really love the TO-DO feature that helps me to follow up with people for various things.
I love the pinned chats feature, which helps me to notify important things to important people and get connect with them without a delay.
I also like notes feature, which help me to write the important points during meeting.
Its best use is to share the file without delay and saves me time and email.
Also, when I am busy, I can update my status without any delay.

Cons

1.
I would like to inform that there is no con for using flock, however, if some changes, that I have suggested, could be made then it would be more user-friendly.
1. I would suggest flock team to work on reactions of a particular message. For example, on a particular channel, I would like to say something funny or express my gratitude, if some one from the team likes my message, I would suggest few more emojis to be added to make it more happier to use it.
2. I would like to explore new features like, if possible to add, dictionary or recordings of audio.

Team communication is improved alot.

Pros

Flock helped us to communicates between our team alot. I'm using this for last few years and its features are improving day by day. Earlier we used it within in a team of around 250+ members are using it.Good Job team.

Cons

I feel that they need to improve the user interface. Current interface is looks good but need to add more features and make it as a colorful one.

Pros

Interesting part of Flock which I like is sharing of Media files which is making my work more faster.

Cons

Difficult to figure out. All features are awesome. The search functionality should be implemented for chats. Would be easier to search for historical data.

Excellent application to use on all devices and communicate with team effectively.

Pros

It helps making communication easier & more reliable between teams, especially teams who are working remotely.

Cons

Screen sharing and video calling features can be included within the app (rather than using an external link).

Pros

Feature packed, from sharing documents to assigning tasks to team members. Suitable for small office use to larger companies. Like that most features that will be used, are free from the onset. Mobile app also very helpful when team members are out of office.

Cons

So far so good, nothing that I have to complain about thus far. One thing to note is microsoft edge might not be fully compatible, icons are missing/appear blank, but that might be due to microsoft edge issue, not Flock.

Pros

The phone app is easy to use and incorporate when I am out of the office. I also like that is automatically starts with my computer that way I am not missing anything.

Cons

Sometimes it ran slow and I missed a few messages because of it. I also didn't like how it emailed me often about random offers. Other than that it was good.

Pros

To-Dos, Live communication, integration with Google Drive. Ability to pin items. App version works like a charm.

Cons

Better way to notify those who are tagged in chats. Calendar integrations and day planning potential.

Much better team collaboration and time management

Pros

Cross-platform operation, integrations with other apps/software, ease of use and overall speediness of the app

Cons

The desktop app could use some optimizations, as sometimes it's slow to retrieve search results. Also integration with Outlook would be a game changer.

useful in day to day communication in an efficient manner.

Pros

Flock has been the key communication tool across our company. Various features such as groups, pins and reminders etc. have been very instrumental to handle our daily tasks efficiently. I look forward to many such exciting features ahead. Thank you !

Cons

To check the current team of the person or to club all people in single team together. Video calling feature can be improved.

Easily able to manage my team remotely.

Pros

We love the user interface. It is extremely easy to use. The another thing I loved about flock is that we experienced zero bugs in our use so far!

Cons

So far nothing, however, I requested a feature from the flock team and it is still pending approval from their technical team. If the feature is implemented I would be very happy!

Pros

If you are familiar with Google Hangouts then the interface for this program will look very familiar on the mobile app. For basic functions such as communicating with a team or an individual team member, this app is nearly flawless. However, the app offers more such as polls and sending files. You can have different categories of discussion which makes the app organized.

Cons

The main issue I had with the app was sometimes it failed to notify me of new messages. Also, although the app offers many different features they are a bit difficult to use. For example, for making a poll I had to look around on Google how to do so because I couldn't figure it out on my own, and I consider myself a tech-savvy person.

Pros

I like how it gave us a free option for inter-office communication. It allows us to easily share documents between team members as well as send quick chats when someone is in office meetings or have the door closed.

Cons

I honestly do not have a single bad thing to say about this software. It is completely amazing and has made our work day production significantly easier.
