Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Samepage is well suited to situations: - when there is a need for ongoing collaboration between people - when these people lack tech skills - when there is a need for sharing and showing different kinds of media Samepage is less appropriate in situations (since there are better tools for those particular uses): - requiring more robust communication tools - when the objective is to execute a specific, finite task - when it is necessary a precise control of version history
Read full review Pros Mobile app experience Software integrations Notifications Read full review All communication is literally on one page, so you don't have to learn its navigation. Cuts the learning curve. User interface is very simple. WYSIWYG. The mobile app works well and I like how it syncs with the desktop version. Just discovered the Dropbox sync. Very cool. Works way better than Dropbox at sharing files! Lori Feldman Marketing Automation | CRM | Integrated Marketing
Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Document types could have symbolic representations. Exporting process could be shorter - Just with an upward arrow button. Task chat can also have a save option to take notes of important messages. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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.
Read full review Support Rating Samepage support is incredibly active and responsive! They work with you from the outset to make sure you are set up for success and understand all the features
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review I have used many project management and collaboration tools and everyone has its kicks and fall backs. But for the kind of collaboration we require with our external parties right now, we really enjoy collaborating on Samepage. With Sharepoint, we were always running into access issues with our external vendors and it was a hassle to adjust those user settings. However since we started with Samepage, both our team members and external party vendor have been happily collaborating.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review It definitely has a positive return on investment. We were looking for someone who can help with these. It can be used very well for project management, task management, mass communication, and secured documentation. Read full review ScreenShots
