Flock vs. Freedcamp

Flock is a great communication tool. However, it's in a very competitive space. It offers seamless app integration (i.e., google calendar and drive) to allow for easy use across the platform. It's a great communication tool. However, if you don't need an overloaded app, there are other options out there. And for work purposes, it only covers some of what you need.

I have used a number of different Project Management Tools and this is the one I always make the team come back to, it's easy to use, has great support, and can be used by people of various levels of technical ability. When planning a complicated network, that needs to be sold to a customer, all people within the company have needs that have to be addressed, from the obvious technical, but also legal, regulatory, finance, and ordering of equipment and all these have different milestones, that interconnect, this is where Freedcamp shines, it allows all of the company to work together to achieve the technical sale.

• Real-time communication is perfect.
• The mobile apps really let us take everything on the go.
• It integrates perfectly with our calendar.

• Flock's video and audio quality is sometimes poor as a result of poor internet connectivity
• It has a messaging limit of 10,000 messages which makes it hard for us to keep messages for future reference

I always come back to using Freedcamp, I've used others, but keep coming back.

The user interface is fantastic and that makes it easier for all the users

I have people who struggle to use PC's using Freedcamp, so it's that easy to understand in the basic form. I've also had high-level CTOs using Freedcamp, so it covers all areas.

We've only needed customer support a few times with Flock (mainly concerning app integration and security), and they've always been timely and helpful, which are the only things I truly need from support. The response rate was still rapid, and there's plenty of support available online as well for Flock.

Especially a few years ago when Freedcamp was first starting, I needed support, sometimes, I'd find a bug as a heavy user, Igor and Angel are great people who are quick to reply and help you as well as the other great staff. Freedcamp's support is the best of any software product I use.

I did not like Google Hangouts. Hangouts is more geared toward personal communication instead of business related communication. Flock is also a lot easier to use and has more options related to a business setting.

Overall ease of use, ability to have different people of skills, mobile version, and access.

• It did provide a creative space for conversation and this does equal a great return on investment, considering the investment is free for the base use.
• For the team members who enjoyed using it, it helped them save time in their day by having a repository for notes and creative ideas.

• It's quite low cost for a business so that's a no brainer.
• I also use it for a Non-Profit organization and we get a free version there, which is great.
• I remember that the people running company planning especially loved how this made complex activity open for viewing by all within the company (as required) so that there was no "mystery" within projects, we all had an advance understanding of what resources and activities would be needed.
