Avis clients sur Twilio

Avantages

Soit disant un tarif dégréssif. Au bout de près de 1 mois nous obtenons enfin une réponse mais nous indiquant que le tarif ne change pas que ce soit pour l'achat de 1000 ou 10 000 sms !!! Cela était indiqué l'inverse pourtant.Service technique incompétent. Avec ma société nous tentons de trouver une solution pour encoder un sms depuis plus de 1 mois et malgré une quizaine de réponses par mail nous indiquant des réponses qui n'ont rien à voir avec la demande la réponse n'est pas encore trouvée !!!!Vous êtes livré à vous-même, avec un tarif d'envoi de sms à un coût exorbitant et en plus avec seulement 50 caractères au lieu de 70 habituellement afin de vous faire régler deux sms !!! Le tarif dégréssif promis n'existe pas en réalité donc Twilio est à déconseiller très fortement.

Inconvénients

Mensonges sur la tarification dégréssive !Sms de 50 caractères au lieu de 70 !!Livré à vous même car ils ne vous donnent aucune réponse valable donc catastrophique

Avantages

Le plus apprécié dans ce logiciel est que Twilio est l'une des APIs les plus fiables pour envoyer des SMS et des messages sur le marché. Ainsi, concernant les prix, c'est assez compétitifs.

Inconvénients

Le moins apprécié dans ce logiciel est que Twilio manque un peu d'intégration avec quelques services.

Avantages

With Twilio you can start from scratch to build your own online communication system. I didn't know so much about VOIP before and it is true I had to learn a few things.
So far I have been able to use my Twilio french mobile number fully online even whenI need to travel abroad - with all mobile services you can expect (voice, SMS, MMS).
The pricing is light and the global user interface makes the whole systme pretty easy to manage.
I only use a few features from the platform but the possibilities are huge ! And they are always working on new services.
And as Twilio is now really recognized as a communication company you can find additional software apps very easily and even documentation, I am thinking of the softphone app I am using on my mobile or desktop for instance.

Inconvénients

I could customize a personal solution because I had time to test different options and as a developer I could code stuffs if needed.
I am not sure everybody can do the same without technical skills.

Avantages

Extremely affordable option to send 1:1 SMS meeting reminders in conjunction with Chili Piper and increase show rates to hard earned appointments set by our sales reps as well as send 1:1 SMS marketing messages via Marketo Engage

Inconvénients

Doesn't have 2-way, bi-directional texting capabilities when a prospects responds via text to either our meeting reminders or marketing messages

Skipio is a subscription-based Texting-CRM platform with a substantial monthly commitment

Pourquoi passer à Twilio

Pricing commitment

Avantages

Number creation and management is nice and easy. Logging is good, and APIs are top tier.

Inconvénients

Channel breadth is a real issue. Texting and WhatsApp are all that's there. The WA integration was pretty frustrating. Simple tasks, like getting updates on number quality or template quality scores had to be done via support ticket.

Avantages

There is nothing much to like about Twilio.

Inconvénients

Twilio has real bad customer service and not reliable platform for businesses that depend on API and SMS for their businesses.

Avantages

Great value for the pricing and options provided.

Inconvénients

Some options are not easy to integrate or use, especially the call flows.

Avantages

Twilio is so dependable and versatile and I am extremely happy with it! It has become a main structure of my work flows from marketing text messages, call forwarding and everything communication. Twilio basically does everything. You can build anything you can think of inside the Twilio platform. It blows my mind what it is capable of. I feel like the only limit to what I can create with Twilio is my intelligence.

Inconvénients

I like everything about Twilio. I have been using it forever and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon

Zadarma

Pourquoi passer à Twilio

So many reasons. I actually still use zadarma but that’s only because I haven’t taken the time to port out my phone number.

Avantages

Twilio can do absolutely everything you need to do with a phone number. Automate, Record, SMS, Call, Chatbot, Integrations, Number verification.

Inconvénients

Very complex to setup. You absolutely NEED to know how to code. No easy user software available to simply use your number from day 1.

Avantages

The API was easy to use, well documented, and accurate (to the documentation provided). I was up and running with a programmatic call to Twilio to send text messages from my application within 15 minutes. Twilio Studio and flows provide a great user experience that puts a lot of power into a non-developers hands for managing communication and escalation. Example flows give you just about everything you would need to get started building your own flow.

Inconvénients

Certain aspects, like accounts, sub-accounts, and management can only be done using the API. These are minor and usually one and done (so they could be done with tool like Postman or SOAPUI).

Avantages

Twilio is a powerful and effective communications platform that allows businesses and organizations to easily integrate voice, video, messaging, and other forms of communication into their systems and applications. Some of the key benefits of using Twilio include:Flexibility: Twilio provides a range of different APIs and tools that can be easily integrated into a variety of different platforms and applications.

Inconvénients

Despite its many benefits, there are some potential drawbacks to consider when using Twilio. For example, the cost of the service can be a barrier for some organizations, and the advanced features may not be necessary for all users. Additionally, the service may require some technical expertise to set up and use effectively.

Avantages

Easy and user friendly ability to send messages from cloud based on decisions made from data received from IOT devices.

Inconvénients

Awesome product but gets expensive when scaling up

Avantages

So far, we use Twilio SMS messaging and SIP trunking. Our experience with was excellent. Everything from creating an account, setting up services, integrating with other systems (PBX and CRM), funding and managing services has been nearly perfect. We did not have a lot of experience with any of these technologies, and we had very little trouble getting it to work the way we want. They have done an outstanding job of designing the services and interfaces so you can put together systems exactly the way you want, without a lot of trouble for spending a lot of money.

Inconvénients

The one negative that we have encountered so far is that Twilio's SIP trunking does not support T.38 faxing. We do have a couple legacy fax machines set up with ATA's, but they are unreliable both sending and receiving, so we had to supplement this with efax service from another vendor. This setup works, but it would've been nice to have everything together from one vendor. I understand that fax is outdated, but it's still the standard in the medical industry.

Avantages

Twilio software, including its user-friendly interface, thorough documentation, and adaptable communication features. Twilio's API-centric approach and tools catered to developers are also praised for enabling businesses to personalize and expand their communication channels seamlessly. Moreover, Twilio's dependable service and outstanding customer support are commended by users.

Inconvénients

Twilio software could be enhanced, such as its pricing model, limited analytics functionalities, and complex configuration process for certain features. Some users have also reported encountering occasional technical problems and errors while using the software. Furthermore, some users have found the learning curve for utilizing the more advanced features of the software to be challenging.

Avantages

Twilio programable voice lets you build localized internet phone systems using numbers from anywhere in the world. I don't know of another comparable solution that isn't just another interface built on-top of Twilio. More importantly, it lets you customize these phone systems in every way imaginable (from drag/drop coding in Studio to custom apps) in just a few clicks. In terms of cost and flexibility, it is the clear winner in this space.

Inconvénients

The product is trying to become increasingly friendly to non-developers, but it is still really positioned as a developer-first platform. It is a true platform technology, which is the root of most of Twilio's benefits – but that does come at the cost of being intimidating/less user-friendly to non-developers.

Avantages

Barrier to entry is so low; it's so easy to get started with Twilio. It took us one afternoon to test it and we were running production-grade systems the same week using Twilio. It's documentation is so good that we don't need to call into support for anything. Billing is clear and analytics is clear as well. We have enjoyed Twilio.

Inconvénients

There isn't anything I don't like about Twilio. I do feel that Twilio can create widgets for non-technical customers to sign up customers for text notification. We have development staff that understands Twilio well enough. I do see small mom-and-pop shop owners who'd love to keep customers informed of sales through text messaging. If Twilio advertised more or somehow helped such audience, that'll be really neat.

Avantages

We currently use this software that is integrated with our ChiroHD Software system. Our team utilizes Twilio daily and appreciates the convenience to easily communicate with patients via text.

Inconvénients

I don't think we are using the full functionality of the product due to it's integration inside ChiroHD.

Avantages

We are constantly as a company, on the lookout for the best tools in every area of our operations. Twilio's speed of sms delivery is right now unmatched by any other software. It has the best rates , both in terms of the unique phone numbers we use for our sms campaigns and the cost of sms delivery.

Inconvénients

Twilio still does not do enough in the area of providing analytical information about our sms marketing campaigns. As a user, I want to have more advanced information about how target recipients of our sms messages are relating with our sms , on what integrated platform are our sms content being engaged with the most and so on. Twilio falls short in this aspect right now.

Avantages

We use Twilio as a cloud communication platform and we found here all the options required for our business. API Integration with other software is well done also.

Inconvénients

Pricing for phone numbers is some regions are high. Interface is not intuitive in the beginning.

Pourquoi passer à Twilio

Features and possibilities for integraion.

Inconvénients

Customer Support is only available by email, not by phone, and it takes 1-3 days to hear back from them.

I was in the process of integrating their OneTouch functionality into a software program I'm designing, and I finally found out why no one else integrates it. It's busted and when you go to click the "Accept" or "Reject" buttons, it gives you an error.

Authy support said to reinstall my Authy app, and now I can't get back into the app until 2 days later because of their overbearing security. They refuse to get me out of the bind, and I'm unable to access any of my accounts until they lift the hold.

I've learned my lesson and I'm going to use LastPass so they can't hold my accounts hostage anymore for their nefarious purposes.

Avantages

Wide range of options - API hooks, config options etc

Inconvénients

Can be complex to set up, but Twilio Studio does the trick now I guess. We were originally using XML / TwiML

Avantages

Twilio has made it extremely easy to use even without an extensive technical knowledge. Their documentation is outstanding and they've build a lot of UI based tools on their website to setup fairly complex workflows without having to code. Of course our engineers are able to use their APIs to take advantage of a huge amount of functionality as well.

Inconvénients

There are some quirks to some of the areas of their products (sorting/searching doesn't work in some places, no ability to mass-refile errored messages, etc). These can generally be worked around but would make the overall experience better and more efficient.

Avantages

The API integration of twilio makes it easy for our business to operate and use the automation solutions provided by zapier.

Inconvénients

The dashboard used to be a bit confusing when we started using the product. However after a couple of days I get its logic.

Avantages

Twilio's API for SMS / Voice is by far the easiest we've used in our company. Their documentation is great and complete.

Inconvénients

Twilio dashboard is good but not perfect. You can't load logs for long periods (like 2+ months) and when you try you get an exception. When I brought it up with their support they completely ignored my comment. Some of the support team at Twilio is okay. Some of them are the worst: Rude, unhelpful and stubborn and zero knowledge about their product and the industry they are part of.

Avantages

Twilio is a non profit communications partner, although for IoT, call center automation and automation use cases, it is also a non profitcommunications solution.Despite initial hitches in deployment with twilio ML issues, this mode of communication by coding is gaining ground.A fairly robust solution if you want high customisability.

Inconvénients

The product is on the way to universal acceptability and unstability, reliability are some concerns with scripting for communication, the automated conversational answering does not always work.
