Flock vs. Fugu

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.

Fugu is a brilliant tool if the employee count is less when it comes to passing on messages within the organization, but it also has some cons with respect to its functioning. The calling feature used to rarely work, making it impossible to make a call when required. Also, the ios version was more prone to crashes.

• Networked phones are a thing of past now. We don’t have to stop what we are doing to receive phone calls currently because Flock can do that
• It is now easy to send messages to many people at the same time, all we need to do is to add all the contants in the chat and select all to send a message
• This software has an in-built to-do-list which allows us to assign tasks to different people or users and then supervise each independently

• Communicating within teams.
• Applying for leaves, and attendance was very easy.
• Shortcuts to access everything.

• A tool is only good if people use it. Some of the artists I work with found it too complex (though I don't think they really gave it a good shot).
• We used it heavily for about six months and it didn't hit too many other big negative points.

Incentivized

• At times it used to crash making it impossible to use.
• The UI part could have been much better.
• The calling feature was not reliable.

We would likely to renew use of Flock for our organization since it meets most of the requirements of team collboration and communication for a small group like us. Most of our Flock users like it's features and use it extensively for day-to-day work. We are quite optimistic about it's future updates.

It is good to give what an app deserves, Flock is very efficient and effective app to manage the all day to day activities and communicate across all team members, create groups, share files, send reminders schedule reminders for each group or persons and share notes.Pin files and search any messages from anyone with advanced filters. It's a great app.

We've only needed customer support a few times with Flock (mainly concerning app integration and security), and they've always been timely and helpful, which are the only things I truly need from support. The response rate was still rapid, and there's plenty of support available online as well for Flock.

Flock stands up very well against others when used for individual and group chats. It also works well with Google Drive Integration. The best part of Flock, compared with others, is in the area of File and Document sharing. The two areas it slightly lacks are voice/ video calls and search.

Fugu is good when it comes to interacting within a small organization; otherwise, not proper working of audio/video calls and notifications not coming on time may cause you to miss out on important information. It has got all the basic employee information available, thus making it very handy and very easy to use.

• Organizing notes manually has been drastically reduced. Flock folders and chats are perfect for keeping each file separate.
• We have not missed one calendar event with Flocks integration of our Google Calendar.
• Being able to cut out or $99/month case management software has saved a ton of money each month.

Incentivized

• As it crashed down more often, productivity was affected at times.
• Keeping a tab on one's leave, and attendance was very easy, making an employee know his balances and scheduling his work accordingly.
• Notification, too, at times, used to not work, thus hampering productivity.
