Avis clients sur Flock

Avantages

j'aime l'application qui est facile à utiliser, et qui possède d'excellentes fonctionnalités de communication

Inconvénients

actuellement, il n'a pas de problème très bien

Avantages

Prior to using Flock, our team was on slack which handled communications well. But what Flock brought to the table was more. In addition to the features that Slack has, Flock also has a calendar app, note taking app (which works with individuals, channels and myself, a feature which I really like), tasks app, drive app which I felt adds a lot of value to the product, and makes it a central hub for a lot of my daily activities. They have also recently added a feature that enables you to have repeated processes setup, bringing in automation into the platform. I think they're doing really well in the space that are in and hope they continue to keep innovating while keeping their users in mind.

Inconvénients

They don't have enough integrations (like Invision). They also don't seem to have an easy way to export all data (Slack has this).
A dark theme for Flock would be great.

Avantages

Very easy to learn and use. Makes interdepartmental communication efficient and quick. I love the ease with which you can share files, and make audio/video calls if chatting is not getting the job done.

Inconvénients

Not sure if this is anything that could be fixed, but the only thing I found annoying is hearing my phone/computer ding with new message notifications hundreds of times in an hour. This is due to being part of several group chats, so not a defect in the software at all.

Pourquoi passer à Flock

Flock gave our organization more capability for what we were looking for, and at a better price point.

Avantages

I like the user interface, it's clean and for the most part, works for what we need.

Inconvénients

You can't DM multiple people, hard to manage a lot of different conversations which we need a lot in our organization. There's parts of the UX that is just clunky and annoying. I wish the chat would stay at the last viewed message, but it doesn't - so you're left scrolling up and figuring out where you left off.

Avantages

Apart from chatting, Flock allows you to conduct polls, create to-dos, and share files. It also allows you to do audio or video calls with a group of people based on the need.

Inconvénients

At times, the app fails to show notifications for the message received

Avantages

This is very easy to use and great for multiple users!

Inconvénients

I'd love to use it as a multiuser for loved ones if there were a free version.

Avantages

I like that you can share different things via flock like google docs, codes, etc.

Inconvénients

You have to pay extra for them to save your messages-- frequently we lose past messages because they disappear after so long

Avantages

It is easy to use, you can share files.

Inconvénients

i don't know

Avantages

I like that it is simple to understand and use. I also like that you can make groups and have private groups.

Inconvénients

I don’t like the notification process, the email is a little much to remind me that I missed a message.

Pourquoi choisir Flock 

This one was similar and easier to use for a large group

Pourquoi passer à Flock

Those were more complicated.

Avantages

I love the clean and appealing user interface so much! I always troubled with communication tools that are super functional but the UI somehow creates clutterish feeling -- you are getting lost in all the exchange, you miss important info in a chat that seems to suddenly disappear. Flock

Inconvénients

Maybe some less taxing ideas about notification. Sending an email following a missed message is crowding my inbox. But overall, I can't think of any serious dislikes.

Avantages

I love how easy it is to connect with teammates, sending them images, calling them, video chatting and so much more through one app, even without data.

Inconvénients

It was a little tough to understand the fullness of what it has to offer but over time that became clearer.

Avantages

This software replaced a cheap messaging program we used internally. It allows us to communicate desk to desk without having to leave an office which now that Covid is limiting mobility, this works well. I am able to select a couple of computers that are support staff and create a team message so I don't have to repeat the message to them separately. Something I just discovered is that this is a cloud based software so while I was out of the office I could still use my Flock program to communicate with the office because I had it loaded on a PC in my remote location and I had internet access. This saved me from having to VPN to the office to access my desktop Flock icon. I like that emoji's were added so text can have some feelings. I can reply to a specific post or I can generate a new reply. And there is so much more that is available in this software that we haven't used yet.

Inconvénients

I would like to be able to have distinctive sounds assigned to specific computers so that when a message comes from a particular computer, there is a recognizable sound that I've assigned to that computer and I know then who it is from. The program minimizes and if I'm interviewing a tax client, I don't want to break the interview to review the message if I suspect it isn't immediately important.

Avantages

Ease of use - the interface is very simple to use. Any person on any level of Tech knowledge can use this.
Clean UI - The User Interface (UI) is laid out to where you learn where items are real quick. You have Pinned Chats, Open Chats and can search your most recent chats with no problem. There is a directory of users who are in your team. I also use the To Do Bot a ton. Using that automation bot to keep up with task and things that need to be done are worth the time reading the F.A.Q.'s.

Inconvénients

Every time it's installed on a PC you have to have a specific code to key in. This can be tiresome or a time waste when installing on 30+ machines. Should just allow you do add people from an Admin panel and they not have to enter a code.

Avantages

You can simply do all your team management in one place. here are some of the things I like the most of this service.
Share screen with participents, on a video call. Share docs(also supports google docs) , ask for a pool , add code snippets . this make my life simper.No more long and time consuming email conversions. You just do all live chat and no more confutions. You can add many popular software to your flock account. I think it is an simple colaboration tool which makes my freelance life easyer.
I love myspace for quick private note taking facility, which helps me Evaluate/Modify my work for later.

Inconvénients

When I set it up for the first time it took 2 onscreen demos how to use it, I was annoying at first but with time this onscreen tutorial helps me find options else hiden.I would love to see a collapciable left bar(Cant find till now.)

Avantages

1. Very clean and clear interface
2. Has features like To Dos, Pinned Items etc which allow small scale project and file management
3. Integrated with a host of other tools and can be extended to a dozen other tools .
4, Has a fantastic feature to automate a few things by adding processes.

Inconvénients

1. Search algorithms needs to be improved. I don't find relevant details from the search functionality
2. Contact management need to be improved.

Avantages

1. Easy to understand and operate
2. 'Read by' feature helps a lot.
3. The distinguishing red mark on mentions is a great experience.
4. The variety of stickers and emojis are great.

Inconvénients

1. The DND feature can be better.
2. The reaction emojis can be more (please add more relevant ones like - facepalm, a simple smile, etc)
3. Provide notification tone changes in the app version of it.
4. The recent chants are lost whenever one makes a hard refresh. Please retrieve the chats back.
5. The search feature can be made efficient (add date-wise search and improve the current search)
6. When a file is pinned, please have a method to show the message on the chat as well.

Avantages

Flock is like many chatting software , but it adds way more than most. It's very easy to use and eliminates the need to walk over to a coworkers desk or having to wait for them to reply to your email. Its made in office communication extremely easy in my place of work. Flock also incorporates many apps that you can have link to it to help with work tasks such as their to do list.

Inconvénients

I'm constantly having to restart Flock, because of all their constant updates. There was this glitch I was having for awhile where I would lose my previously pinned conversations and they would just disappear til the person messaged me again on that same stream. Other than that my only con is that when using the free version they remove access to past conversations from 2 months ago.

Avantages

Flock replaces email and makes communication almost instantaneous.
Like any software product, it takes some getting used to – flow, process, etc..
Once we learned how to use Flock, it was easily integrated into our business process.
"Data" sharing is an essential part of the Flock experience, especially where, for a group, access to shared information is concerned. Central point of contact also proves to be beneficial.

Inconvénients

There's the thought of integrating a video component. Would one-stop-shop be a detriment in this case?

Avantages

In flock, you can easily incorporate and synchronized the necessary details in your company. When scheduling a meeting with your co-worker, Flock will automatically notify you of that certain meeting. In my case, Flock automatically saves the essential contacts that you need in order to work. This is a really helpful since I do not have to do it manually. Most importantly, I like the feature wherein the user can suggest the content that they want to see in the app that makes it inclusive to everyone.

Inconvénients

What I do not like about this software is its design since it is not user-friendly. For me, the design can be further improve by using modern styles and aesthetics in order to enhance the functionality of the software. Sometimes, the software also lags and hangs which causes the users to be disinterested or not use the app anymore. If this will be improved, I believe that more people will utilize this app for their businesses since it is really helpful.

Avantages

Easy to use, nice color scheme, small, quick. Love being able to see if a message was delivered and read.

Inconvénients

Becoming very cluttered, I want a chat program to do just that, not try to be everything. I realize they're competing with Slack, but you don't have to make things cluttered. Dislike that free version has SO many limits on administration.

Avantages

Being able to search through posts is EXTREMELY helpful. I don't really understand why this isn't a standard feature in other team messaging apps

Inconvénients

Polls limit you to select an expiry time from a pre-selected menu of 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, etc. That makes it difficult when it's 8:18am and you want it to end at 5pm. You have to either select 418pm, or 518pm. Not useful.

Avantages

It can be used over mobile phone as well as desktop
The survey/ poll options
Better availability of icons & emojis

Inconvénients

At times the messages do not pop-up
Takes longer duration to start the application
It should have a mandatory field to specify the team which the member is representing

Avantages

I like how it is easy for my team to have converstaions and that I can have different channels

Inconvénients

I use just the basics like chatting with team so I don't have any issues with it

Avantages

The tool is easy to use and easy to implement for the team. Not much training required and helps increase productivity.

Inconvénients

Some of the features have been buggy (process automation)

Utilizing the free capabilities.

Avantages

We love the ability to chat/group chat, upload links and share notes with each other. Our company is spread out over a few states, so to have the ability to chat with everyone is very important to us.

Inconvénients

For us, there are no cons to the product. It does everything we need and more.
