CA Flowdock, Igloo and SocialCast are similar tools that deliver essential features to build an internal social network.
SocialCast is reliable and supported by VmWare. This can make people feel "safer".
SocialCast has also a clean interface where you can find options and features quickly. The interface is friendly and fast and is not annoying like the CA Flowdock interface (which opens a new tab/window in almost every place you click).
