Easy to use, simple platform to learn and adapt to **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2019 **What do you like best about FlockDB?** Quick access to EE data, benefits enrollment is a BREEZE! **What do you dislike about FlockDB?** An employee's PTO balance is not embeded in their HR profile as benefits are. I want to go to an EE's profile and have all the access to their info or be able to at least click a button to find what I need. When keying an EE title change/job classification, their PTO balance resets to zero. This causes anxiety for our employees and tracking down the info I need to reset their balance is a nuisance. **What problems is FlockDB solving and how is that benefiting you?** Benefits enrollment and deduction info is simple and easy to comprehend for HR and our employees. Open enrollment is not a headache now. ### 3. FlockDB is a great tool to manage interactions! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2019 **What do you like best about FlockDB?** I enjoy using FlockDB because it helps me manage all the engagements on my small business's website. Although originally used by Twitter for managing following/followers content, this open-sourced database program is excellent in helping me sort and organize traffic data for my website. **What do you dislike about FlockDB?** The open-source format means that a basic knowledge of programming is required, and this can be a bit challenging to learn in the beginning. That being said, I have figured this out with my team and am able to use FlockDB for everything I need for my small business. **Recommendations to others considering FlockDB:** Make someone on your team the "point person" for FlockDB. They need to have a background of programming and logic-based interactions with software. If someone is designated for this role as I was at my company, learning this helpful software will be much more efficient. **What problems is FlockDB solving and how is that benefiting you?** I manage website traffic, data interactions, sales performance, and other metrics using FlockDB's many open features. ### 4. FlockDC Review **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan M. | General Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2019 **What do you like best about FlockDB?** FlockDB is able to store relationships by looking at followers and favorites and transmitting that information into reliable data graphs. **What do you dislike about FlockDB?** It doesn't really dive deep into the information you are looking for -- even though it has a plethora of network graphs. **What problems is FlockDB solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collect data for a new marketing campaign based off of information from social media users. There are many benefits but I need something that jumps much deeper into data collection. ### 5.
