What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

As a marketing professional, I had trouble communicating with my contractors because we used Slack and Teams, but they weren't always online. I spent months looking for a tool to help me send text messages or WhatsApp messages to them so they could log in to Zoom and Google Meets. Plus, Clerk Chat also allows me text my clients that I have on HubSpot CRM.

I have been using Clerk Chat for a while now, and I can say this is the best solution to staying connected with your employees and clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

The only thing I didn't like about it was that I didn't find it sooner as a chat software is being so far so good. I highly recommend it if you own a marketing business like mine or if you need to text your clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

It enabled me to text my clients via Hubspot integration and send text messages and WhatsApp messages to my employees, allowing them to be on time for our online meetings with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

Clerk Chat is a friendly solution, a full scale deployment without hassle, it's a all in one package that can be easily deployed for any type of customer.

In the 21st century, not everybody will send an email and wait for a day or a few days or response, neither will everybody take all their time to stay in a call in queue longer than what the request requires, being able to text with the business number 10 DLC is a game changer, there is really no additional requirement.

The notion of list, shared inbox, campaign, is a very efficient way for end user to text and handle their exchange.

The automation powered by AI that combines workflow and flow are a proof of the of one of the smart capability that Clerk Chat offers.

The API integration constantly in progress, being able to synchronize all contacts from such a various numbers of CRM and platforms is one of the example of friendly solution that Clerk Chat is.

On top of it, I can say that the solution didn't deceive mostly because of the future options that Clerk Chat behold. The team keeps listening to his partners and customers and often add the improvment required and requested. This simply shows how the solution is customer oriented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

I would say that the only negative point currently with Clerk Chat would be in the miscelleanous side, there is still some missing logs or some missing functions that could help partners and customer tracks things or handle some business management task.

For example if a message sent out is failed or if a message sent in is failed, there should be logs for the us to be able to investigate on the reason of it.

For example if a workflow has been created by any member, an admin or workspace owner should have more view to see who created it and should have the right to remove it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

The simple ability to have business texting with a restriction of carrier or compatible application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

It's easy for my team to manage shared inbound SMS to our main tech support line, as well as to manage their own messages. We even have it setup for AI auto-replies in case we can't respond fast enough to an inbound message. At this point we're sending and receiving business SMS daily so it's indispensable. We can easily get to the messages in Microsoft Teams and have it setup to send email alerts if we miss a SMS. All our interactions with their customer support team have been great and we even got to preview some of their upgraded AI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

Sometimes Teams can be cagey about sending over notifications when we get messages. We've gotten around that by setting up auto-responses and adding in email alerts in case there's a hiccup. It's fairly rare that happens, but one time we missed our messages all day because Teams was acting weird. I think it might actually be a Teams side issue though and not Clerk Chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're able to communicate with our customers via SMS without giving away our personal cellphone numbers. We can also send out mass SMS messages if we're running a special or just as a holiday message to our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

Clerk has a great, easy to use interface, frequent improvements and updates, and is great for both power users and people who barely know how to use a computer.

Their pricing model is, in my opinion, the best option for small-to-medium business available on the market currently. Where most competitors want to charge on a per message basis, Clerk has a fixed price per user for a fully featured messaging service that doesn't force you to count every single message you send and receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

I don't really have anything negative to say.

Like any service, there have been hiccups here and there, but our down time has been measured in minutes - not hours. Clerk has better uptime than some Microsoft services - and far better technical documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our industry requires the ability to quickly provide information to clients. Most people prefer a text message to a phone call these days, and Clerk allows us to meet customers where they are.

Scheduling for our crews to perform work on job sites has gone from a process that takes all day, to a process that's done by the time we finish our morning coffee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

My company uses the services 24/7. We support hundreds of customers and need to have a safe, reliable way to get 2FA codes from hundreds of institutues (think thousands per month through over a dozen numbers). I have been using Clerk.chat for over a year, no issues or concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

I do not have any. Anytime there were any issues or concerns, support or management addressed immediatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do not use for SMS Marketing, just the only choice I had:

I do 2FA Codes, thousands of them. My company is in the financial arena and supports over 400 small companies. My teams depend on accessing several hundred differant banks, supply, sellers daily to get information.I have a clean admin console combined with great workflow to forward my messages to our mail system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

It is the only solution that I found that let me and my colleagues share a phone number that we can use for verification, all managed from a Slack channel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

In order to request a 2nd number I had to reach customer support since the slack integration was working well. They replied right away, hopefully they can solve this issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sometime you need a phone number to get a verification but you need to share it with other colleagues so it can't be your own number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd love for them to offer a secure text option for HIPAA clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clients were trying to text our business number and it just disappeared into nowhere. They didn't know we couldn't get texts and got no response. Now they can text us and get a response! and our staff can stay in Microsoft Teams where they do everything else Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

Easy solution for our team especially with external communication, monitoring users, and customer outreach. Their support team has been extremely helpful and quick at responding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

The verification process has not been as smooth as anticipated and we've run into some road bumps. There seems to be a bit of an inconsistency as we're getting set up with a number port and sms activation as some numbers seem to not have sms activated immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Clerk Chat solving and how is that benefiting you?

Platform consolidation. We used to have 3 different platforms for internal and external communication and with Clerk we've reduced it to only working out of Teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Clerk Chat?

They integrate with teams well. For us the implementation was easy, just took a little bit to get all the numbers assigned to our group. Customer service is helpful when there is an issue they can actually solve.

You can block spam text numbers which is nice, but it is very easy to block a legit number, but easy to unblock if you blocked a wrong number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Clerk Chat?

They are very expensive in general. Clerk charges extra for just simple usage reports and there are no warnings if you go over your allotment each month (or even come close), they just stop texts of any kind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
