Flock vs. Gmelius

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.

Gmelius is perfectly suited for making templates for emails to go out to clients. You can easily share the templates with your team, too, so that everyone has access to them. Gmelius also does a great job of tracking emails so you can confirm the information was received by clients. It is not great to send emails out directly from the mobile app or Gmelius itself, but as a plugin it's perfect.

• 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

Incentivized

• Easy to assign and action emails.
• Easy to add notes for a particular individual to action them without missing out on important details.
• Ready to use templates can be designed for everyday responses to clients.

• 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

• POLING !!!!! Please!
• Using images/videos in emails (or maybe I'm not doing it right).
• I wish the dashboard was easier to navigate -- can be quite confusing/frustrating.

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.

monday.com is just not user-friendly, so much so that I can't really compare the two. Working on monday.com made me want to pull out my hair. I couldn't find anything, so I felt like I was missing things. This made me nervous and caused me to lose time. If I am losing time using a tool, ba-bye. Gmelius is super easy while being robustly functional

Incentivized

• 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

• Overall, we did not see a significant ROI from Gmelius compared to other software.
• Negative impact - time spent troubleshooting features that didn't work or were simply not user-friendly.
• Negative impact - we felt we lost money because Gmelius removed features from our subscription that were contributing factors in using the software in the first place.
