Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The flow Project Management tool is really easy to use. I've been using it for one year and I find it a great way to manage projects, tasks, and timelines. The interface is very easy to use, even for a non-tech person like me. I also appreciate that I have access to my tasks on my phone, so I can respond to requests wherever I am.

Pros

Good support
Organization
Manage projects
Great UI

Cons

Integrate Google Calendar
Improve mobile app

Likelihood to Recommend

Flow is a task management and project management platform. With Flow, my team and I can manage our listings, tasks, time, and projects with ease. We can also create custom reporting dashboards for our clients and vendors. I like that all my team members can access the software, no matter where they are. Flow is simple and easy to use, but also powerful enough for a growing startup.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Flow as a project management system to organize and oversee all the task our company is currently working on. We have multiple projects going on at the same time, with employees not only US based but worldwide. Flow allows us to quickly and easily assign and view tasks to get the job done. Our tasks have multiple steps which include design, internal review, client review and delivery updates. Flow's UI allows us to assign and organize tasks without any issues. We've been working with Flow for many years now and have been able to get in contact with their team to implement design choices and updates that would benefit not only our company but I'm sure many others.

Pros

Project management
User support
Organization
Ease of use/setup
Web and desktop app are great

Cons

Mobile app is garbage
Would be nice to be able to attach all media types to assignments
Sometimes glitchy when implementing new features

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are used to using apps such as Slack, Box or Harvest, you will have an easy time getting use to Flow's UI. Drag and drop features, messaging between users, @tagging for notifications that alert you not only on your desktop but your as well email are particularly useful. If you need projects done fast and easily between multiple teams this is a great application for your business.

A particular scenario where Flow is NOT suitable would be if you are used to working soley from your phone. Flows mobile app is slow, not user friendly at all and hard to navigate. Also, you cannot use a mobile site because it directs you to using the app. This IMO is a great desktop project manager, but NOT mobile.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Flow is a great platform that, thanks to it, we have been able to manage projects or tasks in a much simpler way, because being able to work collaboratively is really an advantage for our company and this is the reason why we have decided to implement this tool departmentally so as to carry out a better planning of business projects and obtain a better performance in terms of the delivery of them.

Pros

Flow contains an interface similar to a social network so using it is really simple.
Its interface contains a very clean and organized design.
Provides really optimal functions to streamline, plan and organize business projects.
It contains high-level support because they are always attentive to questions or problems that are presented to users.
Provides much more enjoyable communication so planning and exchanging ideas is really easy.

Cons

It would be great to be able to integrate with Google Calendar as this way it is much easier to keep an order of important dates.
Your search is somewhat tedious because even though you have searched for a file before, it does not save it, so it must be searched from the beginning.

Likelihood to Recommend

Flow is a platform that is suitable for project planning or delivery of projects that warrant a crucial timeframe. It is ideal to carry out the management of projects of small or medium-sized companies. It could also work for a large company but a larger number of users must be managed.

Because it does not report an issue in very explicit reports, it is not software that is suitable for delivering projects that require a much more complete analysis.

Utilitarian project and task management for small business

Rating: 6 out of 10

March 8, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Flow for our entire organization. It allows us to manage projects across departments. As we have lots of recurring events, we can set those up as projects and copy them for use at a different time

Pros

The “catch up” tab is especially helpful for staying up to date with all the projects you are part of.
Being able to overview all of the projects and their status within a team helps give our top-level leaders a snapshot of where we are at any given moment.

Cons

The lack of sharing ability outside of your organization, if you work with volunteers this really limits how you can work with diverse teams.
The UI is not always the most intuitive. While they have been making improvements, there are times that I find myself searching help documents more often than I have another project management systems.

Likelihood to Recommend

Flow works well for small teams with few projects that need to be managed. It does not work well if you have a large organization with many members who need to collaborate. It does not work at all for an organization that has volunteers who need limited access, as every user has to be a paid user.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently only used by our department. We've tried a variety of PM tools to try to find the right fit for us and Flow is a strong contender. It allows us to consolidate our project info and responsibilities among our Marketing and Communications departments. The dashboard view is a big help in conducting production meetings to make sure everyone is aware of responsibilities and deadlines.

Pros

Design: very easy to discern what is important at a glance. The UX just works; it's very well thought out.
Ease of use: onboarding was a breeze. Was up and running in less than an hour.
Support: in-app support is great, nice website too to find exactly the solutions we needed.

Cons

Would like to have request forms added to the workflow. We have to do those manually then add to the project.
Would love to have the ability to route proofs to external users for feedback and keep the reviews in the project

Likelihood to Recommend

This seems to be a great fit for small teams as the at-a-glance approach works wonders for breaking up the vast amount of projects. You can add subtasks as well to keep the high-level folders at a minimum. Not sure how well it will do in an asset-heavy (i.e. agency) setting. Need to test that functionality more.

Flows Nicely with Everything in Project Management Except Reporting

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

November 18, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Flow is being used across our organization as a project management tool. As a marketing agency, it helps us all align on timelines and passing projects from one person to the next. Additionally, we use a Harvest integration with Flow to track all of our time. It helps address business problems associated with task management and time management.

Pros

Easy-to-use interface
Beautiful design
Short learning curve

Cons

Passing on a task to the next person takes multiple clicks
Switching from task to project view isn't seamless
Doesn't provide top-notch reporting

Likelihood to Recommend

Flow is ideal for marketing agencies and organizations where time management or project management is crucial. It's also ideal for organizations with medium or large marketing departments. It may not be ideal for solo endeavors or in situations that require complex reporting methods. Overall, it's flexible enough for a variety of situations.

May 2, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Flow was used by two or three departments within the company, ones like marketing and video creation that often had to collaborate on projects together. It eliminated unnecessary e-mails and provided quick and easy status reports on project status. It also created a great way to create recurring tasks for routine projects.

Pros

Project management
Traffic controlling for designers
Reminders

Cons

Better integration with Google Calendar -- it could be a bit clunky
The mobile app didn't have as much functionality as one would like - you had to download two apps to access the features used on a desktop version

Likelihood to Recommend

Flow is great for a team that is managing many projects with a lot of different players involved. It lets people really drill down into the projects that they are a part of without getting distracted by everyone else's work. The features like "focus work" and muting notifications are great for a fast-paced workplace which creates distractions. It is too robust for smaller teams or individual work.
