What do you dislike about Twilio?

UI UX can be improved and It is a bit costly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is one of the easiest ways to set up alerts. I've used the Twilio SDK to set up call alerts to notify when any of the services are down. For alerts, real-time communication notification is important and Twilio does that job superbly. They provide was with a fixed phone number that can help prevent alerts from being flagged as spam. We can also save this phone number and take action if we know that it is off the alert before picking up the call. Which is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In situations where we have made use of Twilio's sms delivery or voice services, cost is definitely an area of concern. However, when we have compared the value and reliability we get from Twilio with the price we are paying, especially when juxtaposed with the quality we've gotten from Twilio alternatives , I can say the high price is not too bad for my team ,as far as we keep achieving sales results using Twilio.

What do you like best about Twilio?

Twilio has everything we need for messaging, and for the most part, it's easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

We've been a Twilio customer for 7 years, but recently, our messages have been filtered by carriers, and we're not sure why. Unfortunately, Twilio's customer support has gone radio silent, and we've been waiting for over 2 months for a resolution to the problem. Meanwhile, we're missing out on crucial customer communication, and it's causing us to lose thousands of sales. We have always been happy with Twilio, but right now, they're actively hurting our business, and we're exploring other options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
