We only send simple email alerts to customers that items are ready for collection, this is nice and easy to use for this purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

Our messages are only sent locally, not international. Having to put in the country code for every number is a little frustrating and makes it difficult for automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

We were looking for a partner to send our registration confirmation sms, but the sending had to be instantaneous, many vendors had failed to do so, but MessageBird totally fulfilled our need.

The integration with the APIs is very simple, this made our process much easier.

The statistics are complete assisting us during the decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

I believe the only downside would be the rather high cost close to other competitors, but the quality is velsibly higher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bird:

best service, strongly recommend to those who need sms on a large scale, and do not want to suffer with failures in deliveries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bird solving and how is that benefiting you?

as I said in the positives, we needed a partner to send authentication codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

We've used MessageBird to conduct important trial programs in customer texting outreach with minimal cost and technical fuss. There were some technical hurdles in setting things up, but, since then, the system has worked very well. The MessageBird system also integrates well with CRM platforms like Zendesk very easily and effectively. This is a great resource for businesses that need an easy texting solution and don't want to spend months waiting for the conclusion of a sprint or requiring engineering assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

There are some technical challenges and fewer automations associated with MessageBird for mass-message sending. They won't automatically apportion mass text messages across multiple long codes to ensure delivery. They also don't allow automatic geo-location targeting for customers in the US based on the customer's area code. These are smaller concerns, though, based on how you plan on using their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bird solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're solving the problem of being able to send mass, transactional text messages to customer without great confusion or technical challenges, and it is working well. Customer service has been extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

Simplicity. It was easy to integrate with our software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

Our customers complain about the tax of delivered messages. We are using messagebird with 3 of our customers for information about Queue Management and Service status. Our intentions it's to make Messagebird the default system for all our customers in more than 40 countries. But there is a big percentage of SMS that are not delivered. We can see the same problem in our own team. We already contacted your support, but the problem remains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bird:

It would be nice to have a reseler program. Our products have a connector to Messagebird, and our customers are invited to create an account at Messagebird to get informations by SMS from our software. This means that we are making business for you and get nothing for it... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bird solving and how is that benefiting you?

We produce instore customer service systems. We use Messagebird to inform the customers about the queue status, to thank for the visit, to get feedback, etc... And to send alerts by SMS to the system administrators and store managers. cut Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
