The best software for SMS and other marketing needs out there

I was using ClickSend to send SMS to me and my customers every time a customer places an order on my WooCommerce store. And it helped me a lot to know about the orders faster and to inform the customers about their order faster.

PROS

I like everything about ClickSend. They have lots of features and my favourite is SMS. It's the only feature for which I joined their platform, but after joining their platform I found lots of other services they provide. I'm yet to use their every service. But their SMS is the best and they have integration with Zapier which makes it even amazing.

CONS

What I like the least about this software is the pricing and payment method. Their pricing is higher compared to few platforms I have came across and their minimum top-up is $20 and it's fixed and top of that they only have card as payment option. And this is what I like the least about ClickSend.

Reasons for switching to ClickSend

It was easier to get started with Twilio and easier to use. And on top of that ClickSend had exactly what I needed.

Click Send makes SMS with podio Easy

PROS

Clicksend is super easy to set up and it’s so important in our day-to-day communication

CONS

Nothing. It’s solid. I really enjoy using click send

Reason for choosing ClickSend

Click send was this easiest choice to implement vs other sms programs, Like Twillio.

It's great when it works

Overall, it works great - WHEN IT WORKS. It allows people to respond to messages. But we are disappointed right now because no one will return our request for help, or even send a list of things to look at. This stopped working during a critical time in communication with our staff, and left us scrambling for a different way to reach out to them. We've not been able to use this for 4 weeks (or so) now, and our funds are stuck there with no response.

PROS

We found it easy to upload our teams' numbers and track how many text messages went out. Easy to track billing. After doing a trial with no set phone number, we decided to invest in one specific phone number. Most of our employees do not work at a computer, so it made broadcasting messages simple, quick and effective.

CONS

Recently, texts started failing. We can't figure out why. We have reached out to Customer Service twice to resolve the issue. While we aren't a big user on their platform, the fact is the failed text messages are costing us. We can't trouble shoot effectively this way. No one is reaching back out to us.

Vendor Response

Hi Daava, I'm sorry to hear that you have concerns about message delivery in the ClickSend platform. While global messaging can be complex, our Support Team should be able to assist, and I am both surprised and concerned that they were not able to solve your problem. I'd love to hear more about the issue so that we can improve our service and product. Please feel free to email me directly, or you can get in touch with our Support Team 24/7 via Online Chat, or at support@clicksend.com.

Great One-Stop-Shop for Business Texting

PROS

- SUPER affordable payment options - Plenty of flexibility in terms of set-up, which made it easy to fold ClickSend into a very unusual business model - Interface was smooth and easy to explain during roll-out

CONS

- Would be nice to have more intuitive routing for situations where multiple users use the same number, i.e. if someone texts the number "out of the blue" - No landline texting!

Reason for choosing ClickSend

- Price - Good customer service - Balance of features fit our business needs (building out online texting infrastructure where there is only one landline for a staff of 40 people)

Reasons for switching to ClickSend

Over a third of our clients did not have iPhones and therefore could not be texted, and setting up texting with iMessage was too clunky for our office anyway

Love the integration with Zoho

Overall we are pleased with ClickSend and use it with Zoho CRM for most of our customers.

PROS

ClickSend integrates with Zoho CRM. We can have two-way conversations with our clients, stored in their records. ClickSend just added the feature to send group messages. It's easy to send a message. The cost is great too, and inbound messages are free!

CONS

Creating SMS templates is confusing. It would be nice to have the ability to create workflows in Zoho CRM using ClickSend. Adding the option to schedule the messages would be a big plus!

Reason for choosing ClickSend

Cost and ease of use.

Vendor Response

Hi Pamela, thanks for your comments. We're pleased that you find ClickSend easy to use and a good price. A lot of people say that! Also thanks for the other feedback which we have fed into our product development team - so watch this space!

All around outreach and marketing tool

Overall it's a nice experience because I can do everything from one platform and don't have to jump between multiple platforms.

PROS

The best thing about ClickSend is the availability of wide options like I can use their platforms for SMS, MMS, emails and even physical letters & postcards. This makes my life as a small business owner much easier as I don't have to keep jumping between multiple platforms.

CONS

I personally didn't like their user interface as it felt too complex and cluttered, apart from that their pricing for email credits are also a tad bit higher than the industry standard.

Vendor Response

Hi Ankit, Thank you for your review its very interesting to get your feedback. We are constantly developing the product and we have a really exciting roadmap so watch this space for developments! One of the things we are focussing on specifically is the user interface experience and making it very clean and super easy to use so I hope that as we roll that out your experience is improved. We're constantly reviewing pricing globally and working to get the best value for our customers. We'll have a look at email specifically.

Simple to Set-Up and Use

Great for managing integrated SMS, email and postcard marketing. A very responsive and caring customer service set-up. Overall, we are very happy with this service.

PROS

ClickSend is a very simple system to manage SMS, email and postcard marketing globally from a single log-in. The integrations that they have mean that its easy to build into our company's automated workflow.

CONS

We had an issue whereby we purchased $2,000 of postcard marketing for Black Friday. We uploaded our file 3 weeks before our Black Friday Sale Event well before the SLA. But none of the postcards were delivered until 2 weeks after Black Friday. There was an issue between ClickSend and their postcard printing network. That being said, they were very good to investigate the fault and apply a $2,000 credit back to our account.

Neither I nor user support could use the app

I would not recommend it. Spend over two days to finish the task as neither I nor support didn't know why the app didn't work. We needed to wait until tech support responded. If support doesn't know how to use the tool, I wouldn't expect users to do so.

PROS

Good support, fast responses, easy payment

CONS

A lot of issues due to not properly described options. The app stops you as "required fields not filled" and not showing which ones are required.

Reasons for switching to ClickSend

No support outside my country

Great addition to our marketing set up

For 3 years Clicksend has been the perfect text messaging tool for my business. It's a set it and forget it solution that works like clockwork.

PROS

I love the ease-of-use for this platform. Being a small business, I don't have time to manage all of the personalized communications in a timely manner. Clicksend saves me about 30 minutes each day!

CONS

I currently use this platform for basic text messaging in tandem with Active Campaign. I haven't explored many of it's features, but love the ones I do use.

Easy and Convenient

Our business went through about 4 other text message providers before finally finding ClickSend. For our needs, ClickSend provided better than any other service. It was so simple to set up. We really love services that are as intuitive as ClickSend has been.

PROS

Easy to use, setup, and customize. ClickSend's integration with our other service providers is seamless. We also love its automation. We set it up and let it go without having to do much as far as upkeep. Great reporting as well.

CONS

We don't really have much negative to say. We haven't encountered any problems as of right now.

Best Bulk texting software on the market.

PROS

Ease of use, really economical and great reporting dashboard. Ability to integrate email and text as well as a number of other features which are really good, although I have not used these extras, they are available and seem to be well thought out. I essentially only use the platform for text messages. The program is pretty intuitive even for someone like me who isn't the most tech-savvy person on the planet. One of the best aspects is there is NO on-boarding fee, NO monthly fee and you pay as you use. Support is really very good, with almost instant replies and a lot of patience with guiding me around the system.

CONS

The inability to auto-delete bounces or no-delivery. The Opt-out is automatic, but not the bounced numbers. With large databases, it is an impossible task to clean your lists, and if you send repeat messages you are paying for those repeats to bounced numbers.

Reason for choosing ClickSend

ClickSend was simple, VERY well priced, and almost hassle-free sign-up. All the other providers seemed to be overcomplicating a simple activity and thereby wanting to charge more.

Amateur customer service, 75% markup, and 3 week delivery window - avoid at all costs.

Despite the easy setup - ClickSend's product is expensive and their customer service is amateur at best. The software is buggy - there have been instances when I have had to upload and retry manual letters or faxes twice.

PROS

Easy set-up, able to upload and send a letter within minutes - but as they say: easy come, easy go. ClickSend's customer service team is amateur at best and unable to explain the product without escalating to a "manager".

CONS

The service uses marketing mail and charges you 75% what the bulk mail costs them only for them to deliver within 3 weeks. When I reached out to customer service, the original rep had no idea how to help me and told me to flag the letters so they would get attention. A "Customer Service Manager" decided to step in and give me lip - telling me "I'm sorry you feel that way" and ignoring my request for a refund (she didn't even acknowledge it). I would avoid this company at all cost.
