Alvaria Quality vs. Twilio

It all depends on the workforce team if they've settled the tool correctly for the company. In a previous experience, the tool was entirely settled with the group balance available, all the segments we need were added and up to date, and we could easily navigate the tool. On the new company though, there is a sentiment of incompletion, the UI slightly evolved over the past 2 years but only for the name and some design. Though the tool itself hasn't really changed and clarity is missing sometimes. We must be used to it to understand it well.

The software has a very straightforward user interface and real-time support services. Twilio is a seamless communication platform with all features and tools intact. Easy integration and scalability of the software. Setting up and general implementation of the product is easy. Twilio is a multi-channel communication system.

• There is a lot of options, probably too many and more than 50% are no use to me.
• Some views can be very confusing, sticking to the time is best to avoid being confused by any overlapping segment.
• Lot of options but UI tends to be a bit slow to load and still empty sometimes.

• Control panel. Often, navigating through lists is challenging. I want endless scrolling, not pagination.
• Conversational intelligence service require a Language. I would like it to detect it.
• We would like to have some credit on clients that chose to use their own Twilio account.

Unless we can get this handled quickly -- less than 1 week -- we will likely switch to another provider who, in my opinion, we'll have to spend close to $3,000 in development time to build a new integration for texting. Our clients need texting and I feel Twilio has failed us miserably.

Twilio has well documented APIs and examples. There are several tutorials, videos and Q&As regarding their services. So, usability is very good. I must say that advanced knowledge of telephony, API/Programming and error-handling is essential to make good use of Twilio. It's not just plug-and-play unless you are integrated with a system that has all of the programming built for it.

Twilio executes what it is designed to do: send SMS messages at scale while providing very good deliverability. I believe that Twilio is very good at what we use for adding SMS messages to our comms strategy. We can see those messages get opened and replied to, which is exactly what we are looking to achieve.

I have not had to communicate with Twilio support in the last 3 years but my past experience with them has been very positive. They replied to my previous requests promptly and kept me well informed to resolve my inquiries. With their documentation that's available, I hardly imagine why anyone would need to contact support since it's all there in a concise and easy to understand format. It would probably take you longer to type out a support ticket than to just open their doc websites.

The developer APIs and SDKs are super easy to follow.

We evaluated many fundraising-based text-to-give programs and found the subscriptions prohibitively expensive for our small scale and uncertain first few years of development. While we may be willing to invest that kind of money after discovering how things work, we're happy with Twilio now and have no desire to start over.
