First, compared to other such cloud-based messenger services, Flock is reasonably priced. Next, it's a reliable app with a lot of features that can be used in a corporate setting. The app is ubiquitously used by all of us with messaging features required for corporate communication.

Flock provides a casual as well as professional approach. Prevents the hassles of communicating over phones. Once logged out the employee will not be disturbed after work hours. All the information, messages, and data that have been communicated to date are secure & can be accessed anytime. A great channel to pass on information to all the employees within an instant.

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.

The elephant in the room is Slack, and I personally think Flock takes the best parts of Slack and improves upon them in a more cost-effective package. It is perfect for a small team. Especially if the team members are rarely together. The mobile app really keeps us all updated in real-time.

Flock is a superb software for an office setting especially where employees are undertaking same task or project at different locations. With Flock, the chat can be kept ongoing in order to resolve issues which may arise in the process. However, Flock is not the best platform where video and audio calls are involved. Because the quality is poor.

Flock is great for an office setting where there are several employees who all work together but that are located in different areas of the office. We are able to keep an ongoing chat to quickly resolve any issues or answer/ask any questions amongst each other. Flock would not be great for constant video communication as the audio and video quality can sometimes be a little off.

The biggest problem we are looking to solve with use of Flock was to have a centralized place that our booking department and casting department along with artists and agents could come to talk about projects and design creative solutions. For the most part, Flock achieves this. It might've only been lack of better on-boarding on our own end, but some of our artists find it too complex to use (or maybe they just didn't try hard to figure it out).

We originally moved to Flock because we thought it did not have the messaging limit that Slack has--and that would have been our only reason. Unfortunately, it has the same limit. So it's basically just a lesser version of Slack, with fewer fun features like gifs and reactions. I'm not sure why anyone would pick Flock over Slack if you are going for a free messaging service.
