What do you like best about Sinch?

automated SMS gate - enabling sending SMS to all my client around the world Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sinch?

Sinch is bad with payments. They debit your account and then do not add credits, don't show the payment in the billing history. I have never had such an ignorant support team anywhere else. Writing a detailed email about issues, sending bank statements, and then they respond to whatever they want, completely ignoring your question. The worst customer support you can think of. not recording payment should be chased by some fraud banking uthorities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thye are not solving anything, they are ignoring any issue you report to them Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sinch?

they have a good platform and is user friendly. thats it, the business aspect behind the product is not existent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sinch?

We have decided to cooperate with sinch on behalf of my organization and we regret it ever since. They never reply to emails and they do not adhere to SLAs at all. We are on the verge of terminating the agreement while approaching our deadlines. I do not recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The idea was to use their integrations and API's to use in our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sinch?

Sinch offers coverage in a wide range of geographies -- we historically used them in several countries where our other providers did not have strong delivery performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sinch?

It is not possible to get pricing data through Sinch's API, unlike many of their competitors. After committing to offer us a fixed price in a key market, they raised their prices by 6x and did not notify us in any way, even though they sent us other email price notifications during this same period. When we finally identified the price change, which led to significant losses for our business, they apologized but only offered us a refund of ~2% of the losses we incurred. Even though the error was clearly on their end, we were the ones who suffered losses. We have decided to pull all of our business from Sinch going forward because we can no longer consider them a reliable and trustworthy partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were attempting to address gaps in our other providers' coverage, but we have realized it was better to work with those partners to address delivery issues rather than rely on Sinch. Our other partners make it much easier to pull real-time data via API, and we also have a much better business relationship with them. On balance, the negatives outweigh the positives in our relationship with Sinch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sinch?

Everyone at Sinch that I've worked with has been extremely responsive, whether it is questions about adding additional features, or supporting our end users, to even handling billing issues; this level of responsiveness really establishes a strong business parnership Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sinch?

The biggest downside in our experience has been cost, where we have seen some other vendors be a little more competitive in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sinch:

Sinch is a very good company to work with from an SMS Aggregator role; I've been working with them for many years now going back to the mBlox company, and the business relationship is as strong as it ever was. They are very proactive in ensuring they can meet our needs and supportive whenever we need them to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We don't have many problems, just occasional issues with individual users receiving SMS responses from short codes, and the support received from Sinch really helps get through those isolated instances in an efficient manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sinch?

The support team is very responsive around the existing services we use. Additionally, they take the time to listen and understand the business challenge/s we are solving for. For example, we recently explored text enabling our 800 to offer a new channel of communication by our members. To accomplish our use case, we were introduced to the Sinch Flows platform that offered the immediate capabilities we needed and additional features we could use in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sinch?

Nothing comes to mind at this time. They have been a great partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are exploring the use of a Group Chat feature that would live purely in the SMS space and not require the need to install specific apps such as WhatsApp. This allows our internal teams to use tools (SMS) that they are already familiar with which reduces learning curves and quick adoption. We are also offering additional Digital channels for our members to communicate on. We've been able to do this by text enabling our 800 number and delivering automated responses with a link to an online resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sinch?

The Team was great as we were getting our account set up. Provide timely updates as carriers were reviewing our application. Additionally, provided strategies on who we would be able to allocate cost to various business units that would be using the same shortcode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sinch?

Their online platform to find the status of our submissions to the carriers was difficult to find. Once I knew where it was, it was easy to find. It was just not as intuitive as I would have expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sinch:

Highly recommend. The team is great to work with. We even had an account rep switch (he got promoted) and the Director, of Enterprise Accounts proactively reached out to let me know what was going on and set up a time for an intoroduction. In the past, it was typically just the old rep or the new rep reaching out, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We wanted to begin SMS communications with our field team, channel partners, and (ultimately) our end-user customers. We use Adobe Campaign as our email communication provider and the platform also has SMS capabilities. Sinch came as a highly recommended partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
