What do you like best about Twilio?

Twilio bietet eine beeindruckende Bandbreite an Funktionen und API-Integrationen, die es ermöglichen, Kommunikationslösungen schnell und effizient in bestehende Systeme zu integrieren. Die Dokumentation ist umfangreich und gut strukturiert, was die Implementierung für Entwickler erleichtert. Besonders die Flexibilität bei der Anrufverwaltung und die Möglichkeiten zur Automatisierung haben uns zunächst überzeugt. Auch die Skalierbarkeit der Plattform ist ein klarer Vorteil für Unternehmen, die wachsen möchten. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

Leider wurde unsere anfängliche Begeisterung durch eine äußerst enttäuschende Support-Erfahrung getrübt. Unser Account wurde plötzlich und ohne Vorwarnung gesperrt, nur eine Woche nach Veröffentlichung unserer Integration. Trotz ausführlicher Erklärungen unsererseits haben wir seit über 2 Wochen keinerlei Rückmeldung vom Twilio-Support erhalten. Die fehlende Transparenz im Verifizierungsprozess und die Tatsache, dass der Service während des Betriebs abrupt abgeschaltet wurde, haben nicht nur unseren Betrieb massiv gestört, sondern auch das Vertrauen in Twilio nachhaltig erschüttert. Wenn Twilio diese Probleme nicht angeht, können wir die Plattform leider nicht weiterempfehlen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Twilio löst das Problem der nahtlosen Integration von Telefonie- und Messaging-Funktionen in bestehende Softwarelösungen. Mit den umfassenden APIs von Twilio konnten wir Telefonanrufe direkt in unser CRM-System integrieren, ohne auf separate Lösungen zurückgreifen zu müssen. Dies hat unseren Nutzern ermöglicht, direkt aus der Anwendung heraus Anrufe zu tätigen und Kundengespräche effizienter zu verwalten. Die Flexibilität und Skalierbarkeit der Plattform sind besonders hilfreich für Unternehmen, die ihre Kommunikationsfunktionen schrittweise ausbauen möchten. Durch nicht nachvollziehbare Kontensperrungen, die ohne Vorankündigungen erfolgen, ist das Produkt allerdings wertlos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twilio?

The way in which Twilio is integrated is amazing, it allows us to implement it literally in any application and software, plus it has a large repertoire of native applications, allowing us to connect without a code bar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

When there are no native applications, it is very complex to connect, since it is mandatory that you know how to program to do it, plus it does not have a platform for people who just want to send simple messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Twilio helped us to provide communications to our database via SMS and allowed us to have a second channel for our customers to clarify all their doubts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twilio?

It was very easy for me to purchase my service and be billed promptly, and be assigned a phone number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

When setting up phone number there are numerous requirements for certifications, Weber hawks, and technical integration requirements that are neither well documented, clear, or aided by any on screen bye workflow. Further there are no live chat or Live telephone options for a small business. Finally when emailing support, response times are greater than 24 hours. I purchased a Twilio number four weeks ago and I still can neither receive calls no more receive voicemails. Tragic. Would not recommend try RingCentral instead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twilio?

It has a very low cost for the service, which is excellent for avoiding inflating the IT area's budget. It is very easy to implement and is always active, we have not had any problems because it guarantees business continuity. The tool is powerful, integrates all tools and solutions through Zapier and webhooks, and only a far-reaching system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

The UXI is a bit cumbersome when creating subaccounts and viewing analytics, it is so powerful that you can get lost, but that is a minor issue since I am sure that someone with more knowledge can be more efficient in its use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In Llamando al Doctor, we use Twilio to utilize WhatsApp Business tools. It is very useful for sending medical prescriptions and attendance certificates in PDF format via WhatsApp to patients. We also use it for sending and confirming medical appointments, as well as managing cancellations and all appointment and communication management, both for doctors and patients.

What do you like best about Twilio?

One of the best things about Twilio is how easy it makes verifying identities with OTPs (One-Time Passwords). It's super reliable and fast, which is crucial for keeping things secure. Plus, it's flexible enough to integrate into different platforms seamlessly. Overall, Twilio's OTP verification is a lifesaver for keeping accounts safe without causing headaches for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

One downside of Twilio is its requirement to make a payment before sending OTPs to unverified numbers. It would be helpful if they offered a few free trials or a minimum number of chances to try before requiring payment. While the overall experience is positive, this initial barrier can be a bit frustrating for users who want to test the service before committing to payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Twilio solves the problem of secure communication by providing reliable OTP verification services. This benefits me by ensuring that only authorized users can access my platforms or services, enhancing security and trust. Plus, it saves me time and effort by handling the verification process seamlessly, allowing me to focus on other aspects of my business. Overall, Twilio's solution simplifies authentication and strengthens security, making my life easier and my systems more secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about Twilio is its user-friendly system—the API alone is straightforward, and integration with communication systems is super easy. Reliable it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thoough some features are easy to use, the advanced ones tend to get tricky to implement. Also, the cost is a bit high especially if it's used by high-volume users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps us increase customer engagement through calls, sms, etc. and be more efficient since communication tasks can be automated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twilio?

We use Twilio for automated whatsapp notifications that send both prescriptions and medical orders to patients and scheduled appointment reports to doctors from our cloud telehealth platform. Usually medical appointments have modifications and cancellations and it is very useful to notify everything by whatsapp.

It gives us confidence as a provider as we transmit sensitive personal data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
