Very Easy System To Use

As a business we use a lot of communication methods, but we feel a text message achieves the best results

PROS

We can copy and paste telephone numbers from a spread sheet straight into MessageBird to avoid manual update

CONS

I like everything about it - I had a problem with finding my saved templates when the system was updated - but that was my own failure to look properly

Great service, great price

Very polite customer service, very easy to deal with. Very pleased after moving away from our previous provider.

PROS

Fantastic pricing when purchasing in bulk with a very easy to use interface. Reporting is excellent and it's easy to find out the status of messages sent.

CONS

Perhaps provide more 'plugins' to various different pieces of software to widen availability.

Hard to track lots of messages

Easier communication with the team of over 100 officers.

PROS

You can send messages effectively. The developer pack seems good. My developers are looking ot interface. Summary information on usage is good.

CONS

The export functionality is really poor. I supply security officers. I want to see what time officers text to book on and off. The columns move about in the export making analysis hard. Hours tidying the data before being able to move forard. The length of time information is held on the webpage is limited. If i wanted to look back over several months, this is not possible. The search functionality is limited.

MessageBird Review

The experience hasn't been disappointing. I would recommend them anytime.

PROS

The software provides different channels for the same price hence making it user-friendly to grasp content and get started.

CONS

The software itself is fine. The only problem I have experienced while using them is in terms of customer support. They take forever to respond to requests.

New and liking it

So far so good!

PROS

I consult for multiple businesses across multiply countries, and was looking for a single platform that can accommodate a local / personal feel for our customer communications. So far, MessageBird seems to be ticking all of the boxes as we can message our US customers from our US number, Canadian with Canadian number, etc. In addition, the platform dashboard is very easy to manage, so opening this option up to teammates that are less tech savvy will be an option

CONS

it would be nice to have a local customer service number in all countries where you have offices, so that we can speak to someone (if needed) without paying international phone rates. I use the chat functionality, and they were fairly responsive. Once someone did connect with me, she stuck with me through all questions.

Message your customers.

We can now offer our customers quick resetting or OTP options. It makes a login or reset process a whole lot easier.

PROS

We likes the text messaging function the most. They have a great API which makes it easy to automate any process. Want a password reset? No problem? OTP’s? You can make it.

CONS

The documentation can be a little unclear. However, their flexible SDKs make up for it.

MessageBird is a decent alternative to Twilio

PROS

We had much better rates than with Twilio for sending SMS messages to our users.

CONS

It wasn't a drop-in replacement. And we had some issues in discovering equivalent features. Ultimately GatewayAPI gave us even better rates.

Top of the line Features

PROS

MessageBird is ingeniously architected, from features to branding. The dashboard is beautiful and intuitive, and documentation and supported features like the flow builder are very well done and easy to use. Pricing is competitive and subscriptions are easily set up and managed between developers and multiple clients.

CONS

MessageBird is restricted by their "provider" who severely limits sms content, frequency and volume. If there is ever a technical issue, chances are they will have to reach out to their provider for details or assistance. Customer service responds to messages with about 4-24 hour delay, so most immediate concerns go unanswered the first day, although their follow-up and resolution is near perfect.

Vendor Response

Hi Rhett, Many thanks for your review and feedback here. We strive to stay at speed with our responses and provided you resolutions or interim solutions where and whenever possible. We'd love to connect with you directly to understand better what we can improve on. If you'd be open to this, please let us know and we'll connect with you via email. Best from Amsterdam, Alex Dorweiler Head of Support @ MessageBird
