Great and Reliable Call Center Tool
Reviewed on 24/06/2024
Pros
We used Twillio as our primary phone tool to manage and distribute contacts between a large group of sales managers.
Each sales managers operates in their own market and language, due to this setup many other tools were skipped and Twilio actually solved this issue for us.
Cons
It is really techy and not everyone from every team can be involved in setting it up.
Sometimes reliability issues arise, the pricing felt jumpy too.

Worth Purchasing
Reviewed on 15/04/2024
Pros
Twilio is fantastic for SMS (and calls, but our primary purpose for Twilio was SMS). You are able to mass text, schedule, and use personalization options, including dynamic variables. It's very convenient and probably the best SMS integration option available. We use it with our current marketing software system. It's incredibly easy to set up, get started, and maintain.
Cons
It is a little on the pricey side but very comparable to most SMS/VOIP systems available. You do have to pay per SMS and there are character limits so if you're sending one long message - you're paying for 4. But ultimately it is worth it.

Overall it feels like we're stuck using them because they integrate and have international numbers. They are responsive but often not flexible.
Pros
It integrates with our system and they are responsive on the Support team.
Cons
The costs are very high and our customers complain. Their information online is also often misleading.

Overall, my experience with Twilio has been fantastic. The platform exceeded my expectations by making SMS and email automation in India simple and cost-effective. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable communication solutions.
Pros
What I liked most about Twilio was how effortlessly it integrated with our systems. The setup was straightforward, and the documentation made it even easier. The value for money is excellent, especially with the robust features for automating SMS and emails in India. It truly streamlined our communication processes.
Cons
While Twilio is generally user-friendly, I found that some advanced features have a bit of a learning curve. It took some time to fully grasp all the functionalities. Additionally, I noticed that customer support could be quicker in responding to inquiries.

We use Twilio to send automated texts for bookings through an API. Twilio makes sending these texts super simple. I don't have to really worry about anything with it.
Pros
Once set up, it's very easy to use the tool to send texts. It ends up being a set it and forget it tool for us and just handles the texts for us through the API.
Cons
Setup is super complicated with seemingly multiple areas to setup the same things, but they're different features. It took us weeks to actually setup properly to start sending texts out.

Can be confusing.

Support is very clunky, product migration is incomplete to Kore.
Support is very clunky, product migration is incomplete to Kore.
Pros
It was one of few options available for the purpose in Hungary.
Cons
We received some programmable wireless SIMs and Super SIMs for IoT devices from our IoT partner that were already set up in Twilio. When we received these saying they were Twilio products, these products have been migrated to Kore (a different company who acquired Twilio's IoT products) but most of the functions can still be handled through Twilio. Not all of them, and this isn't clear until you run into an issue you can't solve and try to contact support - that is when we were redirected to Kore. However, not all of the products are fully migrated, eg. the programmable wireless products are still only available in Twilio. So the user is stuck using at least 6-8 different sites just two handle these two products. Not well designed from a user perspective, not easy to use at all. It can get super technical very quickly. AI support can be tricky to get through if you're trying to create a ticket and get human attention.

In general terms, I found the platform perfect mainly because of its simplicity and because it did not generate any inconvenience in its use. It also allowed the onboarding team to speed up the verification of requirements in order to continue with the processes without further delays.
Pros
I found the platform to be very simple but intuitive and at the same time fast and concise as an analyzer of the system data needed to apply for certain jobs that needed specific system requirements.
Cons
What I found less favorable about the platform was that, at least the first time I used it, when it was not so updated and I saw an error, it did not indicate what the specific error was, but it provided a code and then I had to consult the IT team to find out what needed to be fixed. Later that was corrected but maybe later on there will be some inconveniences like that.

Being one of the major players in the market, Twilio has abused its position greatly! We and our customers consequentially, have experienced major service suspension in our US region. TBy not taking serious operational issues for their customer as a matter of priority they have caused us not only loss of revenue but impacted our reputation vastly. The interruption to services in the US area has been left unresolved for over 2 weeks, being transferred from department to department and mostly handled by AI very unsuccessfully and time consuming.Since it has been a reoccurring issue, and has been solved previously, it shows us that their client data and history management is very poor. Being a global service provider based in the US, they do not take into account the time zone differences and the customer support response time is appalling. The response time window doesn’t consider the time difference when the automation kicks in.
Pros
The software is easy to use and deploy, fair pricing
Cons
Level of customer service - our issue with the US carrier is being handled for more than 2 weeks with no success. And Twilio is based in the US.Use of AI in Customer support - no result, tons of disappointment.Kicking the ticket from one department to another knowing the importance of the matter for us and our customers.

Reviewed on 30/01/2024
Pros
There are so many things to love about Twilio from my experience and perspective. I like the quality of its documentations and how intuitive they are.
I find their customer service team very responsive to queries and inquiries and I love how Twilio has SDK's in my favorite programming language.
Cons
Twilio boasts 99.9% uptime and it supports all major programming languages. Personally for me , Twilio is head and hand above every other sms/voice cloud communication platform.

Do not use this company
Reviewed on 08/07/2024
Pros
Their service does work and its fast and comprehensive
Cons
Twilio abruptly turned off the service without any warning leaving people unable to sign up to the app. The timing was terrible as a number of affiliates had started promoting. Whats even more insulting is that our pleas for support just went ignored and 4 days later we havent had a response. This company does not deserve your business. They allowed our start up to get scammed via toll fraud then when we disputed the payment they abruptly paused our account a month later without warning purly as an act of revenge. Absolutely unconscionable unethical unprofessional conduct.

Overall it's a decent program. I wish it was a bit more stable, but the fact it allows hundreds of CCRs/CCAs/sales reps to be on calls simultaneously is a huge plus.
Pros
It is able to handle a call center that has hundreds of employees taking calls at the same time.
Cons
It crashes a fair amount and we do have issues with it at times.

Pros
Nothing, the customer service is terrible. it is impossible to use the service and they are the worst
Cons
Their customer service is the absolute worst. You will never get a rep live. You will be charged for messages weather they go through or not. I was charged $250 for messages never sent. I cannot stress enough what a terrible company and product they have.

Twilio Review
Reviewed on 31/05/2023
Good platform overall
Good platform overall
Pros
Some of the advantages of using Twilio were:1. The first 2000 contacts are free of cost. This makes it pocket-friendly and also helps to try out a smaller-scale pilot run. 2. It helps companies connect and make meaningful relationships with users internationally. 3. Setting up the platform is extremely easy. The transition of a user to set up the platform and start using is relatively quick and smooth. It was quite easy to integrate wth other platforms and apps as well. 4. It was very useful as we used it for IVR - both nationally and internationally for our clientele. 5. It is quite reliable because a lot of huge MNCs use Twilio like Uber, AirBnB, Reddit., Lyft, etc.
Cons
There are a few things that could have been better about the platform:1. Since the organization is growing and is quite large, during the integration of the platform, we did need some support and assistance from their team. They did respond but it did take a while, the process was slightly slower than expected. 2. Once you scale, you would ofcourse require to send more messages with increased customisation to enhance the customer UX. I presume that this would begin to be an expensive option in due course of time and we may need to switch to a cheaper alternative.
