Flock vs. Sherpany

Flock is very well suited in scenarios where individuals must communicate via chat. It also works great when teams need to communicate via group chat messages. File and document sharing is another area where Flocks works well. Channels are used for discussions on specific topics or organization-wide announcements. Flock may be less appropriate when you use it for voice and video calls. Where.

Sherpany helps us to retrieve information from previous meetings quickly. Participants for conferences can be contacted and their records can be viewed every time, wherever, and whether they are provided by the data they collect.

• Networked phones are a thing of past now. We don’t have to stop what we are doing to receive phone calls currently because Flock can do that
• It is now easy to send messages to many people at the same time, all we need to do is to add all the contants in the chat and select all to send a message
• This software has an in-built to-do-list which allows us to assign tasks to different people or users and then supervise each independently

• It makes preparation for a board meeting very easy.
• It allows us to easily retrieve data from earlier meetings.
• It helps me to keep track of important information.
• It avoids the need (and burden) to carry around paper binders.

• A tool is only good if people use it. Some of the artists I work with found it too complex (though I don't think they really gave it a good shot).
• We used it heavily for about six months and it didn't hit too many other big negative points.

• Changes with new versions should be well communicated in advance and consider in more detail the impact on existing boardrooms
• Too expensive
• Generally, more possibilities for customizing e.g. it should be possible to define security levels for access individually (why do I have to retype my email every time I synchronize?) or it should be up to the users whether and how they want to use labels (why can I only have one label per document?)

We would likely to renew use of Flock for our organization since it meets most of the requirements of team collboration and communication for a small group like us. Most of our Flock users like it's features and use it extensively for day-to-day work. We are quite optimistic about it's future updates.

It is good to give what an app deserves, Flock is very efficient and effective app to manage the all day to day activities and communicate across all team members, create groups, share files, send reminders schedule reminders for each group or persons and share notes.Pin files and search any messages from anyone with advanced filters. It's a great app.

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.

They're good when needed. Sherpany offers a much more efficient way of working

Flock as mentioned takes the best of all these apps and improves upon them. Flock's UI was exactly what we were looking for and Flock doesn't overcharge small teams for search functional or messaging. It just offers a great product at a great price combined with great support. Their chat ticket system works almost immediately.

Much easier to annotate documents, better User Interface which makes it very easy to access material discussed in earlier Meetings; also very easy to navigate between different topics on the agenda.

• Organizing notes manually has been drastically reduced. Flock folders and chats are perfect for keeping each file separate.
• We have not missed one calendar event with Flocks integration of our Google Calendar.
• Being able to cut out or $99/month case management software has saved a ton of money each month.

• The only negative thing I can see is that members can be victims of technostress and sometimes forget their password, how to find a document in a session. My role is to help them, reassure them and find a solution with them
• The positive is that all our members are often members of several committees at once and instead of receiving folders with a ton of documents, which are often cumbersome and heavy, everything is on the IPads. They can also annotate their documents as they want.
