    Flowdock is well suited for small teams and to environments that doesn't need too much reliability. I think it has some management problems that can make your life difficult if you have to manage a big amount of users. If you want just a tool communication with basic features (without using any integration or robust features) it can be suitable for you. You should try Flowdock using its free version for a small team and compare with others similar products. Flowdock delivers team chat and collaboration features, but is not necessarily the best product. Maybe some usability problems that disturb me won't be so relevant to you.

    Great for social media quizzes, shopping guides, lead qualification, progressive profiling, and any application where asking a series of questions can be used to gain a better understanding of customers and contacts.

    • The system was particularly useful during the coronavirus pandemic as it helped foster communication between colleagues and allowed us to create various fun and interactive morale-boosting activities.
    • The service desk is responsive and Interact is quick to point out any service issues.

    Cons
    Broadcom
    • One thing a little bit annoying is that a lot of links to others Flowdock sections (preferences, external services, etc) will open a new window/tab. Each click may take you to a new window and you can get lost easily.
    • There isn't a quick access list to members of your organization to start a private chat. I took a while to find how to do that. The interface and usability could be better.
    • There isn't an app for Windows Phone.
    • Sometimes you try to load some conversation and it doesn't show anything. It is not frequently but happens sometimes.

    I go with the flow because I'm a newer employee and Flowdock works as advertised. If it were my decision to choose a team communciator for the organization, I'd recommend we go with Slack for its robust features and ever-changing/evolving software integrations. Slack is the outright innovator in the space and will continue to hold that role for some time.

    Slack is a similar software.
    Private chat or channels are well implemented in both softwares and both are also very easy to setup.
    Besides of some usability problemas I think Flowdock is still better than Slack in this user experience and design.
    The second point is the price. Flowdock is half price of Slack ($3/month). If you are a student or a non-profit organization, you are able to get some special license.

    Interact is great for basic integrated quizzes and forms. The other tools are much more robust in terms of mobile friendliness, integrated payment steps, file upload, Google Tag Manager integration (track and segment via your favorite marketing automation platform), etc. Typeform is a much more robust platform.

    Broadcom
    • Our company uses it by default.
    • I enjoy the ability to communicate outside of text messages...keeps the conversation on in it's own bucket.

    • In my very particular opinion, we can say that this tool has not generated any negative aspect for us, so we are comfortable.
