Flock

Commentaires: Within my office, Flock has made communication so much more convenient. If I have a quick question for another employee, instead of having to walk to their desk or pick up the phone and call them, now I can just send a quick message and they can respond immediately if they are available.

Avantages: In Flock, I can create different chats. Within each chat, I can choose who has access to that particular chat and whether they have full access or read-only access to each channel. I can also create to-do list within each chat and chat set each task as being assigned to different people. It is very convenient because you can add anyone else who has a Flock account. It doesn't have to be just within an office or particular area. For example, I work in the Tax Office. But we communicate with the Legal Department on a regular department so some of the employees from legal have been given access to some of our chats. I can have a chat set-up with an individual person or I can have it set up as a group where everyone, or even just certain people, have access.

Inconvénients: At first, I had trouble leaving Flock up on my monitor because it was basically completely white and it was just too bright. After an hour or so, my eyes would be hurting from it shining in my eyes. I recently found out that you can set it to dark-mode which makes the background a dark grey instead of white. This cuts down on the brightness significantly so now I can stand to leave it up on one of my monitors.

Commentaires: In the final analysis , we believe Flock is a winner and we will be using Flock as our primary collaborative team communication tool for our office team tasking assignment, as well as for video chat . Our office wanted a shared communication tool which on balance was designed with team work in mind. Considering the user interface which allows for common communication as well as closed conversation threads between managers, the rather convenient presence of one touch button control for screen sharing as well as conference call entrance, Flock will be our go communication tool for intra office now. We would say the only real negatives though not plentiful were tied to the inability to control notifications coming from conversations. This can create a log jam. We also experienced some difficulty with file searching or keeping files private to one user. Our recommendation is to emphasize the team orientated communication tools offered by Flock as the primary orientation for usage and to use its rather robust application integration capabilities to supplement weaknesses in the usage of the program. We use Trello quite easily with Flock for instance. Give Flock a try as we believe it can help.

Avantages: Seamless and extremely easy to use interface has many advantages including wide and extremely robust application support including Trello, social network apps and many more. We are able to manage team conversation which can be common or specific to users in the group, employ instant screen sharing , and one button touch for video call and chat participation. Overall Flock has proven extremely user friendly and convenient. At this time, pro model and feature upgrade is only a month.

Inconvénients: Less ability at this time to control notifications from shared conversations as well as a non available capability to keep shared files private to 1 user.
