Bandwidth vs. Webex Connect

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.

Webex Connect is a necessity for many of our clients, and we have observed that their whole infrastructure is built around it. This proves to be more helpful, when you are working across platforms across multiple apps. Apart from that, managing client onboarding in projects, auto responders, creating channels, creating automated flows, pushing updates to keep them in loop, are some of the features that we use on a daily term. For me, Automation of flows was relatively new, and to see it in action for the first time was an incredibly new experience. Especially the part where I did API integration for our internal chat module.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• A high end application UI suffocates on low end hardware, so a "lite" version should be there
• SDK integration is messy for starters

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.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• The simplicity of integration of API with multiple messaging apps has increased our reach.
• We ourselves are impressed with Cisco's Webex platform, and are planning to switch to our majority of communication channels to Webex platform applications.
