We are currently going to replace Exotel as our use cases have evolved over a period of time and it can no longer be satisfied by Exotel. Hence we have decided to move to a much advanced and customisable Cloud Telephony Solution - Intalk. We would still be using Exotel for …
Exotel was selected by us because of the following reasons: -Low set-up and maintenance cost as compared to its peers. -Prompt customer service: You want to upgrade your plan or facing any issues around the platform, Exotel team is just a call away.
T38 is our secondary carrier. They aren't listed in the available list. Telnyx has a larger number pool and easy to use interface. Although, T38 has the upper hand with fax troubleshooting.
Easy of use and better prices. Outstanding customer service. Variety of services in telecommunication needs. Easy use of interface even for not experienced users. Migration of SIP numbers is easier. Reporting is very easy to use and customizable for our specific needs, so we …
Twilio offers better security and HIPAA paperwork but they don't have your customer service. Twilio offers better SMS programming at a much lower burden of entry. The visual programming interface makes life simple. Your pricing is much better though.
Webex Connect has the ability to automate customer interactions with channels ike SMS, email, chat, WhatsApp, and social media all in one place by integrating other tools, which saves time and ensures consistent customer experiences.
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 Teams streamlines the communication between users, while Webex Connect feels outdated and is very glitchy.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 …
Twilio is mostly for smaller projects or highly customized projects but Webex Connect is more enterprise level when it comes to a more professional and highly enterprise grade level solution Twilio does not even compare to Webex Connect Twilio is more developer friendly and …

Twilio work for us, but we need more multi-channel orchestration. With Webex Connect it is possible with our a lot of development of code. In my experience I think the Twilio will need more experience engineers to configure our scenario and to solve our problems with diferent …

Webex Connect has a great user interface and multiple client handling capacity, which makes it stand out from the competition. They also have support from Cisco teams, which is a game changer in this field. They have way more advanced systems than other companies.
The thing which makes Webex Connect different from its alternatives is its performance and quality they provide to the end user. They have a dedicated end to end encryption codes which is realizable and must have for a business due to that only we have chosen Webex Connect …
They are well suited in start up in the Central Asia market, would recommend them for that area. We would also recommend their Voice over internet protocol services for mainland as well. Either the text or VOIP was a good service. The experience overall was great with them. Highly recommended.
We use Telnyx in a small company and are getting great savings in our telecommunications needs. Reporting is clear and makes it easy to control expenses. Migration of numbers was very easy and had tracking while in the process. We have our own numbers in Telnyx. I didn't find any situation where the service is less appropriate up to now.
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.
Affordable Solution: First and foremost the platform is very much affordable for a small start-up starting their business and want to connect with their leads and serve their clients economically.
Easy to Use: Anyone can start using the platform from the Day 1. No extensive training required for it. Just integrate your phone number with the platform and solve customer problems at godspeed!

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.
For cold calling and outbound callings, to a certain extend Exotel serves the purpose as mutliple DID numbers are available at our fingertips. For company which use outcalling as a form of passing information to users can benefit from the flexibility it provides. They have a recharge and use model which doesnt have certain expiry. Basic API documentation available and lesser support from their support team on this matter makes it difficult to check if the API thows any error
They utilize a private IP network back end that makes SIP configuration for inter-carrier operation difficult because they assume that projecting their private network outside is ok.
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.
Initially they had chat support which was available faster. But now the chat support gets routed to a virtual agent and unable to get in touch with an actual agent. They also have no support with respect to the API's and other integrations.
They are providing services using a Freeswitch system behind a NAT router and they expect carriers to deal with their NAT network. Their support team does not seem to understand that problems caused by exposing a NAT switch to the Internet at large.
Exotel was selected by us because of the following reasons: -Low set-up and maintenance cost as compared to its peers. -Prompt customer service: You want to upgrade your plan or facing any issues around the platform, Exotel team is just a call away. -Call recording Quality was also better than the peers.

Due to easy SIP truncation the cost of customer approach has become very convenient internationally. We got a so much scaling to play on large customer base. And large base makes sense of large positive ROI.
