Conversion Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "next level chat tool" February 13, 2021 5.0 we use to have internal team chats + extra alerting from 3rd party services. Pros I like the way how Flowdock connects the team chats with external alerts that can be setup easily in the app. Cons it doesn't look as friendly as in slack, but again - way better than teams ;-) also the mobile app is slow sometimes.

I mean when mandated it's a useful communication platform where people can get work done and build relationships. I just have had a horrible mobile experience. From receiving notifications about new messages that when I go to read causes the app to freeze and crash, to being told while in the app there's a new app update and then not finding a new mobile update in my mobile app store. It's frustrating how the browser platform works well enough for me to want to consider the mobile app version, but then the mobile version makes me want to leave the software completely. Pros I like the ability to sync the software with Amazon S3 to keep an archive of all conversations/files. The desktop/browser version of the product is useful and dependable. Cons The mobile app experience is really quite painful.

Pros The threading system in flowdock is very intuitive, the thread replies are not hidden within the general chat, but instead they are color coded, so you can quickly identify what/who you are replying to, and at the same time, your reply is visible to everyone in the chat, not only to the people in the thread, which promotes communication between every contact in the chat. There is also an option to add hashtags to the messages, that is very useful when you have to search for specific things in the chat history. Cons A lot of functionality in flowdock comes in the form of an integration, you have to add plugins in order to do other things, like screen sharing, that could be already in the tool, like its competitors do.

Allows conversations to happen where the whole team can see and interact with them. Pros It is pretty nice in terms of threading conversations and keeping multiple conversations separate so people can read an entire conversation together. Cons When someone screws up and doesn’t people thread they are the only one who can fix it, but only if they do it right away. Review Source Rhondalynn K. Managing Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good solid product" November 26, 2018 4.0 Pros There is a lot to like - it is easy to streamline and organize team communication. Cons I personally have had quite a few issues getting logged in via my iPhone every single time there is an update. That part is a pain in the backside. Not sure why the mobile set up is not as easy as the desktop - browser or app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Management/UX Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "If Flowdock is cheaper than Slack for your organization, go with it." February 24, 2019 3.0 Pros It's the same features and functionality as Slack with the brand recognition for a cheaper cost. Cons Nothing, it works well at a cheaper cost. Which is efficient and okay for most small-medium organizations. I'm not sure how well it would scale with support. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Systems Administrator Military Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product, but not as many features as competitors" March 3, 2020 4.0 Pros You could customize a lot of the features of Flowdock to allow you to make this work for your organization. Cons Other software does the same thing, and more easily. Plus there is no native video chat available. Review Source Trey C. Software Developer Program Development Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent Communication Tool" December 6, 2018 4.0 Pros Web, desktop, and phone applications Threading of messages Rethreading when you thread fail Cons Lack of multi-individual direct messages All messages of all threads showing up in the flow timeline Review Source Emilio M. QA Engineer Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Interesting yet simple IM client." January 15, 2019 5.0 Pros It is a web-based solution, so it can be accessed from anywhere. Threads are easy to follow. Cons Embedding web-content is not as well implemented as on other solutions (slack). Review Source RN Riswan N. Software engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flowdock review" October 22, 2022 4.0 Easy to communicate and resolved communication gaps among the team. Everyone in the team is aware of what’s going on in the project and it helped our team to avoid some status meetings which saved all of us time. Pros Our first collaboration tool that saved our mailbox capacity and encouraged our team to instantly resolve any clarifications without waiting for too long. It helps our remote team to collaborate easily with all other teammates. Cons I don’t think a desktop version exist now for Mac. Browser based version is not so user friendly. Support by CA technology is limited now for this tool. Review Source SS Sneha S. Software engineer Chemicals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Enhanced Team Communication" June 1, 2024 5.0 Pros We used Flowdock's threads to organize our project discussions, which made it easy to find past conversations and kept everyone informed. Cons During a busy project phase, I found it hard to keep up with the constant stream of notifications and missed some important updates. Review Source Mike T. Salesforce Administrator Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "As good as slack" December 5, 2018 4.0 Pros Very easy to use, lots of api features to connect with other apps, just as good as slack in my opinion. Cons The mobile app crashes every so often, not sure why. Review Source AP Adam P. Sales Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It worked, but wasn't competitive" August 25, 2020 3.0 It was the convergence of tools and conversation, so effectively it did help. I always felt like developers could get more out of Flowdock than roles like mine, in Sales. I just used it for chatting with colleagues. Pros It did offer instant communication and it's best feature (compared to competitors) was it's notifications - which isn't really saying much Cons The app was very unstable on my Mac. I always had to use the browser version b/c the app crashed and was unreliable. The iOS app was probably worse than the Mac desktop app. That was a bummer - the app is vital. Review Source AJ Adrian J. Software Developer Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Value Slack" May 7, 2019 1.0 Pros It has a dark theme. But now other software does too. So not really worth anything. Cons This is the "great value" (read: Grocery store brand) of software. Its cheaply thrown together, it has none of the great developer features like slack does. All the plugins it says it has, have not been maintained in a very long time so most of them don't work. You are constantly barraged with notifications since it does not have granular notification options. This software is horrible. Review Source Ben T. Co-Founding Director Defense & Space Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Value Software" August 16, 2018 5.0 Pros Good software and makes it easy to communicate with my team at work. Cons There are a few kinks which make it not as slick as Slack, but overall a good app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graphic Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Too Clunky" November 14, 2018 2.0 Pros I enjoyed the fun little reactions like slapping someone with a fish. It was a charming feature to an otherwise very uncharging product. Cons There's just not enough to it. Can customize anything, including colors or icons for your different groups, the design looks very dated, the mobile app glitches constantly, and messages hardly ever load. You can't suggest Flowdock if you've ever touched Slack. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Lead Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A very good communication tool" March 9, 2019 4.0 A very good communication tool Pros We are using flowdock for communicating with our onshore counter parts. It helps faster execution time without any delay in getting a reply compared to email. All team members will be on same page which is a great advantage. Cons Search is a bit confusing and should be better if we have more filters Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Information Security Engineer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Flowdock" April 13, 2021 3.0 Not worthy, some tools are cool due to constant use, I prefer more user friendly tools which works more well for me Pros \+ Instant messages, you can create groups to connect with. + Logs are also a good part of the product. But most of the stuff is offered by other products as well. Cons \+ Definately needs a better and user friendly Interface. + Needs more interactions with other tools like ca agile within a single product so anyone don't need multiple UI's. Review Source RM Rachel M. Caseload Management Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Searching is Difficult, but No Other Complaints" December 8, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that you can custom sort your Flows in the order you need. I like that you can close images/gifs. I like how all threads show in the flow, and they are color coordinated to distinguish them. Cons The search tool returned too many results. You had to know what key words to search for, and it didn't seem to return the specific phrase you typed, but rather returned all posts that contained any word in your query. Review Source LS Lawrence S. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Everything all in one place (communication, integrations, and notifications)" July 18, 2019 5.0 Pros I like how versatile the software is and how easy it is to use, at first you may think of it as just another chat application but in actuality it helps to make our teams more efficient by providing lots of integrations with different SaaS offerings. It also has the ability to search across those integrations which is great when you are on support and need to find something that happened in the past really fast! Cons I have only used it a short amount of time, but I found that it can kind of get overwhelming when you have a lot of flows in the organization. For example, we have over 200 flows setup and it is a little bit hard to know which flow to open to find what you want. Review Source Kendrick B.
