What do you like best about Twilio?

As a mobile app developer in the the On Demand space, we have used Twilio with our clients globally for safety, security and reassurance. We use Twilio for phone number masking, SMS, many clients that are new to technology and the On Demand space aren't not technology savvy and unaware of the benefits of keeping their clients secure and their data base, their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I need a cost break for our international clients, most client that are international are not use to these fees and are not aware of companies like Twilio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Twilio:

I would like a presentation to show my clients, most are not familiar with your product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helping our clients and reassuring their customer base. It's a main point in my sales pitch that the clients will retain their data base and other outside parties or employees will not have their clients information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Twilio?

For me, the most impressive part is how easy it is to develop with the twilio api. Everything is well documented, and the developer community has been very responsive to suggested changes. Also, the pricing structure is perfect for small start-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Twilio?

Only thing that I can think of changing is how prices are documented. When developing with more than one twilio product, it can be difficult to explain to the business folk how much itll all cost. Maybe I'm just lazy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our product is a peer-to-peer language instruction app. We haven't launched so all the benfits realized are in development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SIP trunking, and when my endpoint is unavailable for some reason, it can fallback to Twiml scripts instead of busy/congestion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The API is easy to work with. You can use any IaaS platform you wish. If you can think of a communications app, you can probably build it with Twilio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For IVR applications, you still need to keep in mind latency issues. Any processing delay equates to silence on the call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Twilio is constantly adding features and functionality such as WebRTC support. Consider Twilio for all the communication needs of your applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
