    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    For us, it is well suited for personalization. Since we are hospitality brand, we have different rooms sales inclusion based on different segmentation like Mem or Non-mem, Global or UAE, we have to personalize our landing pages accordingly so that we show the relevant information to relevant audience. The inactivity pop up box and newsletter signup popups work good for us. It does not work well in some scenario like Dynamic Yield offers built-in analytics focused on campaign and test performance, but it’s not a replacement for tools like GA4, Adobe Analytics. It lacks deep funnel tracking or complex reporting capabilities.

    I have tried other competitors. But I always end up going back to Twilio because I feel like it is dependable, easy to use, and, has competitive pricing. The only time I wouldn't recommend Twilio to someone as if they are completely inexperienced about using webhooks or APIs. Because you can't really just sign up and start using Twilio without connecting it to another platform first.

    Pros
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    • Provide fantastic support, both in relation to strategy/best practice and troubleshooting.
    • An easy to use interface, as a user who is relatively new to Dynamic Yield I find that it is an intuitive platform to use.
    • The ability to segment and drill down on data allows for really specific insights which, whilst not necessarily being leveraged on a testing basis, can be super valuable from a greater marketing perspective.

    Cons
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    • Brand templates could need complex CSS/custom code.
    • We'd like to see a little "i" next to specific labels, which elaborates on what is meant. For example, when I hover over "Dynamic allocation," I get something like "An advanced form of A/B testing where the best-performing variations receive higher traffic."
    • Jargon (for example, for audience targeting) can be overwhelming for new users; therefore, clearer, user-friendly explanations are needed.

    • 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.

    Usability
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    Setting up strategies, audiences, and experiences is simple and fast. It is incredibly easy to modify the appearance of your site and optimize every aspect with the Dynamic Yield Personalizations. However, while the data visualization on an experience level is easy to modify and analyze, exporting the data in meaningful ways is time consuming.

    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.

    Support Rating
    Dynamic Yield by Mastercard
    Overall, the support is very good. If you are a partner (my case), they assign you a customer success manager, that helps a lot. Also, there is a technical person to provide support to the partners, again a great help.
    My only "complain" is that with some complex issues, the support may delay in providing you with a solution. Sometimes that can cause some tension with your client.

    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.

    Dynamic Yield provides far more capability and ready-to-go templates for small-medium sized businesses, as well as decent API implementation for businesses who want to have a deeper integration. The ease of implementation and faster time-to-market is why we chose Dynamic Yield.

    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.

    Return on Investment

    • Most tests have had a positive impact on either revenue or conversion rate - quite often in double digits.
    • Dynamic Yield has also helped us to stop some particular initiatives through direct interaction with the customer base via questionnaires or by a test proving negative quicker than rolling out a permanent feature.

    • We found that associates who had the opportunity to respond to a survey about their assigned job were 37% more likely to return to a job site
    • We were able to reduce the number of resources required to manually respond to associates using Twilio Studio, so those resources could have more time to complete other tasks
    • We were able to scale the number of associates who received survey messages at least by a factor of 8 without increasing our resource demand
