    Bandwidth
    Bandwidth covers the majority of areas where we had customers. However, there are still some areas we would have like to see them cover for calls. They cover more areas than our other carriers, but they did surprise us from time to time by an inability to be able to deliver call transport.

    Cons
    Bandwidth
    • Their dashboard is lacking. We would love to see some additional graphing components, live traffic views, etc.
    • Their E911 infrastructure is still separate, making things a bit complex to provision endpoints and manage them.
    • SMS/MMS is a little behind competitors like Twilio, but still usable and very reliable.

    • integrating multiple third-party applications
    • The initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex for new users
    • The documentation could be more detailed for advanced automation use cases, and sometimes the response time for support queries feels slower during peak hours.

    I would rate a solid 9 in case of usability as it does its work perfectly without any lacks and delays, we are using it for almost 3 years now and have not faced any major bug or issue with it. along with that it's easy to construct a Flow end to end where you just drag and drop icons to make the nodes working together with each other and as well as its learning curve is very simple and can be used by a non tech person also.

    Their pricing is tough to beat, the reliability is great. And then add a few more positive things, like the tools and customer support, and that makes it a no-brainer.

    It doesn't stack against software like Teams - although Teams does have its own faults. Teams streamlines the communication between users, while Webex Connect feels outdated and is very glitchy. It is an ordeal to use Webex Connect when compared to Teams or even other similar applications. I do not recommend Webex Connect.

    • We found Bandwidth to be very easy to work with and they grew as we grew. Their pricing was very competitive and they were always willing to take another look at their pricing for us.
