4.0

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.

5.0

Eugene L.: Hi, my name's Eugene. I am the owner of a commercial real estate company. We have about five people within our company. And I give Google Workspace five out of five. I used Microsoft Teams before, and where Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace have similar functionality, I just found Google Workspace to be more user-friendly across all my employees in different departments. I chose Google Workspace for my businesses because of how user-friendly it is and how cost-effective it is. Onboarding Google Workspace was actually pretty easy. I started with the email functionality, our main form of communication with both clients and tenants alike with our commercial real estate business. And then, as we worked through that system, we started using the drive. We started using cloud functionality, Google Workspace Docs, spreadsheets, etc. For those of you looking to integrate Google Workspace into your business, I highly recommend making sure that you're aware of how to integrate your website with Google Business and how that works to improve your business, as well as get reviews, etc.
