What do you like best about Bird?

Bird's flows product is interesting, and opens up lots of opportunities for connectin with customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

Bluntly, there are just WAAAY too many bugs in the product, there are limited/no guides, and support is non-existent.

For example, we're trying to build an AI agent, that leverages a Bird.com knowledge base to take phone calls. It has been easy enough to get this working with a website chat bot, but despite it being advertised as available for Phone, it has been impossible to achieve this - and support haven't even updated our case for the last 5 days.

Today's gripe has been that the 'Create document' API call is returning a 500 error. Yesterday's was that the 'Try this' functionality in the API docs wasn't working.

The UI keeps changing, there are multiple different login types...the list goes on.

It is really frustrating as it is full of potential...but right now, it's just irritating. The experience of building with Bird is akin to the experience of building with a newly released YC product...only that they're an established business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

Great sales team. The sales team can actually sell ice to an eskimo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

Bird.com, formerly known as MessageBird, has proven to be a company that thrives on false promises and deceptive tactics. Their sales team is skilled at painting a rosy picture, promising seamless onboarding, exceptional support, and a user-friendly platform. However, once you've signed the dotted line, the reality is far from idyllic.

We experienced firsthand the company's lack of integrity. After purchasing their platform, we encountered numerous hurdles, including failed verification processes and unresponsive support teams. When we sought assistance, we were met with exorbitant fees for basic support services, a move that seemed designed to extort desperate customers.

The company's refusal to issue a refund, despite their broken promises and subpar service, speaks volumes about their ethical standards. It's clear that Bird.com is more interested in lining their pockets than delivering on their commitments.

We strongly advise potential customers to steer clear of Bird.com. Their deceptive practices and lack of customer support make them a company to avoid at all costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

Look seemed to be very handy in sening messages with Whatsapp but the whole business modal is based on services you can do your own or in a cheaper way. The presure on signing a contract without giving time to read is unmistalenly pointing to a SCAM to get you sign and pay on a yearly bases. Npot trustworthy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

You have to start a wallet, put money in and than they try to lure you into a yearly contract. Setup is a mess, Helpdesk is not ontime, direct takles days. I ended up closing the account. The money in the wallet will not be refunded. Do not do business with this firm because they steel your money do nothing and than do not do a refund when you do not want to work with them anymore from the money put into your own Wallet.

What do you like best about Bird?

We've been using Bird / Pusher Channels for many years. It works fine, however we suspect the product is in mainenance mode (there doesn't seem to be any improvements) so we've switched to a competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

We gave them cancellation notice of our plan 30 days before our renewal date, however since they've received it 29 days (per email dates) prior to renewal they are refusing to cancel our plan and plan to "auto subscribing" us for a further 12 months although we are not using their service.

We'd recommend against working with companies with these types of money-hungry billing practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

MessageBird is an excellent platform for online communication service solutions providers. MessageBird support channels like WhatsApp, SMS APIs, ChatBot, SIP Trunk, and Google Business Messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

There is nothing to dislike about MessageBird, but one thing it should improve is its pricing structure. The pricing structure is a bit high in compare to other service providers. Else everything is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In addition to integrating different means of contact and dividing it into several support sectors, the platform offers practical and efficient integrations, unifying the services in just one place and directing them to the exact sector, without needing to be surrounded. In addition, it offers us a detailed report of everything that happens between appointments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

Despite the platform delivering everything I needed, I feel that the configuration of some apis are a bit difficult for lay people, but the support and knowledge base will help you easily in this regard. I feel a lack of native integration with airtable, a service that we use to store some information that would be useful in the chat bot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

MessageBird is the best API provider for Text Messages (SMS), WhatsApp Integration and audio calls. MessageBird also allows other social media integrations like Instagram, Twitter, Gmail etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

There are a few limitations to MessageBird. 1) It doesn't have complete control on WhatsApp APIs. We'll have to create an account on Meta, and once approved, we can use it. 2) Sometimes, API takes much more time to respond. 3) Cost is a bit high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

There is nothing specific to dislike about MessageBird it gives almost all things perfect. There are some improvements needed for error messages. Sometimes error messages are not so applicable we can't get an exact idea about them, and debugging is tedious. Else everything is perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
