Flock vs Cisco Unified Communications Manager: Which is a better fit?

Ramin S.: Hi, my name is Ramin and I am a partner marketing specialist at a software technology company and I give Flock a four out of five. Our daily use for the application itself is team collaboration and communication across folks that are in multiple places across the entire globe. To be able to stay connected on tasks and communicate on different issues that could be going on daily is something that we rely on Flock just to make sure nothing gets missed and that the communication is as open and transparent as possible. What I really like about Flock is the ability to assign tasks and keep live updates on tasks with different folks within our organization. So seeing live stats and live messages of where things are at and how we can make sure that things get done and not lost in the day-to-day offerings in the workplace, I think that's where we can really see the successes of Flock really stand out. What I don't really like about Flock is within the capabilities of its messaging limits. So there is a 10,000 message limit, so we've had issues around being able to refer back to historical messages within, whether it's a project or just the chat itself. So that is something that could be potentially resolved at some point. And then also, its integration capabilities with certain apps just aren't there yet. So hopefully that's something that comes down the line. But as far as its day-to-day and functionality and being able to work within a team, it has everything you need.

Praveen: Hey, my name is Praveen. I work for a state agency, and I rate Cisco UCS four out of five. So basically Cisco UCS is used for infrastructure with everything like server, storage, and backups in a single pane of glass. The thing that I like more about Cisco UCS is service profiles. Service profiles are basically used like a one-stop. You can install one golden template and you can deploy this onto 100 of your hosts. So the things that I don't like in Cisco UCS is the installation. We need to install the servers, and then store it, and also configuration of backups. All these things will be a little bit difficult and time-consuming process.
