Excellent tool with fair pricing to add SMS functionality to your app or project

Our business uses SMS to communicate with clients when an email is too slow. Messente has provided us with the ability to do all that at a fair price.

PROS

The API documentation is easy to use and provides clear instructions on how to implement it for your project. Pricing is one of the best I have found, and I have used quite some alternatives.

CONS

It's not easy to change or verify your custom caller ID. It's obvious that is done to ensure that no one will use it for scams or tricks, but it might take some time to set it up.

Reason for choosing Messente

SendPulse lacked some features, and the documentation was not as good as on Messente.

Reasons for switching to Messente

Messente has better pricing, that does not change every week.

Messente is a great SMS Service provider

Messente is a great company, from the beginning when we reached out to get information about their business they were very informative and they helped our team get setup with ease and they have an excellent customer service team.

PROS

The team is responsive and they actually help you get your questions answered and the system is easy to use. They tell you to reach out to them if you have any questions and when you do they get you the help you need.

CONS

Maybe the cost of SMS Service, just because we are a brand new company we are watching every expense through the startup process.

Reasons for switching to Messente

The infobip team were very slow to communicate let alone actually help us in the setup process. We eventually left because it took over a month to get a response on a ticket we opened regarding their system, and even then they did not provide any substantial help so we mede the switch.

Vendor Response

Thank you! Glad you are happy with Messente. If you have any questions or concerns about pricing or other matters, you are very welcome to contact your account manager or support. We are always happy to help!

Best SMS partner for a startup

Overall experience has been more than satisfactory. Also like their security measures and how they recognise malicious SMS triggers on their platform and block the numbers. This has saved us from some bot attacks.

PROS

Pricing, customer support and the easy to integrate API documentation and tools.

CONS

So far haven't found any problems with Messente.

Reason for choosing Messente

Other alternative products didn't have the coverage that messente has or just were too expensive for a startup.

Reasons for switching to Messente

Pricing and the more user friendly admin interface and API.

Great service

We need to deliver SMS notifications to users and do not want to deal with it ourselves. Messente has delivered on what they promise.

PROS

Well documented API, all the features we need (and more), great customer support -- what more can you wish for?

CONS

We would find it useful to have support for multiple organizations under the same account. Not a deal-breaker, though, just nice to have.

Reason for choosing Messente

Better API, better customer support and lower price.

Reasons for switching to Messente

It was just too much hassle to maintain that code (it is not our core business).

An truly remarcable messaging platform

Very positive. The fact that the API changed to accommodate new ways to send messages are very positive (Viber, WhatsApp, ...), but a pain to explain to our costumers that they need a new version of the software (and the associated cost).

PROS

Very easy approach, understand and implement on our website, reasonable price, configurability and the fact that allow to administrate and implement new accounts on the same login was mega.

CONS

The API changed since our implementation (2016), so the old versions of the software stop working properly.

Reason for choosing Messente

Messente was easy to implement, and allowed to perform operations the way we needed.

Vendor Response

Thank you! Glad you are happy with Messente. If you still experience issues with the API, please let us know. Our Support will be happy to help you.

SMS notifications from Estonian Cup via Messente

PROS

Messente's really simple and good working infrastructure allowed us to quickly start sending out reminder SMS'es to our clients that next sporting competition is tomorrow and your start nr is like XXX. Also simple PHP SDK was a pro.

CONS

Don't have any cons yet with Messente. Maybe the admin UI was lacking but now there is new UI and it is much much better.

Reason for choosing Messente

Based in Estonia and that's why it was easier with billing.

Feedback Kredo Finance

We have linked with our core system and based on our communication customer strategy we send through messente different messages to our customers

PROS

Integration with our software on real time and reporting per each selected period with respective costs per SMS

CONS

It is missing the feature to upload a personalised SMS for each Receiver. Currently you could upload a list of different receivers but you could send to them only one sms text (all the same), whilst we would need to have an upload with Receiver and personalised sms, so Messente could send at once

Vendor Response

Hi Arlinda! Thank you for your review! We're glad to see that you are satisfied with the service we offer. It is actually possible to personalise SMS for each receiver. You can do it by using custom tags. You can read more about using tags here: https://messente.com/documentation/faq Feel free to contact your account manager if you need help with that.

Easy to use and it just works

We needed an easy solution to send SMS reminders to our customers, like a video call is about to start in their online education program (it increased participation a lot). Also we send a reminder to those who take an invoice from our store (and don't use direct payment) about 30 minutes after, that please don't forget to make the payment (it also reduced forgotten payments).

PROS

Code example in php, so it was easy to implement.

CONS

It's not possible to receive SMS messages.

Hi Peeter! Thank you for your kind review! It is possible to set up a two-way SMS service. You can read more about it here: https://messente.com/documentation/sms-messaging/receiving-sms Also, feel free to contact our support if you need help with it.

Excellent service

PROS

The messages actually do reach the destination. If something is wrong, the explanation is usually found (and the customer support helps in case there is problem)

CONS

Lack of self-service tools. We send messages on behalf of our customers. We currently send messages to about 30 countries and use several sender names. It would help us(and your key account manager), if we could manage the sendernames ourselves (or at least see what sender names and messages are configured for each country)

Reason for choosing Messente

We got the recommendation from our existing customer to test your product.

Reasons for switching to Messente

We tried several competing products, and had huge problems getting the messages through.
