Flowdock is losing to Slack
Rating: 3 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
It's being used across the whole organization. It's how we communicate in real-time as each department/individual within the company is handling their day-to-day responsibilities. Flowdock is a useful tool for keeping up to speed with people within your team as well as across the entire organization. While there are other competitors in the space, our company chose Flowdock and have been quite happy with the result.
Pros
- Mobile app experience
- Software integrations
- Notifications
Cons
- Overall UX - compared with Slack
- Additional software integrations (as goes for all communicators moving forward)
- Lack of Spotify integration
Likelihood to Recommend
The fact is, Slack is in place to be better product. They're the big dog in town and are moving toward a public offering. I think CA Flowdock has a nice mobile experience and generally works the way it's supposed to but major competitors like Slack are pushing the envelope on API integrations and bot builds that automate a lot of great features. I think Flowdock approaches things from a more corporate stand point while Slack is casting their net toward smaller companies looking for cool features.
