EZ Texting vs. Plivo

It's really well suited for businesses from small to large, and plan options reflect that. It's excellent for keeping customers aware of updates, such as business hours or new additions, and for informing customers of offers. We use it once a month on average to avoid potential spamming.

We're excited about EZ Texting and what it does for us. We want to get more into automation with campaigns dealing directly with web sales so a more robust solution will likely leave EZ Texting as our event activation partner and only be used during select times of the year.

I think it is straightforward to use. UX is always challenging, and the platform does an excellent job of making it easy enough to use. However, it's not 100% intuitive and takes just a bit of figuring out, so I gave it an 8 / 10. It's easy enough as is, but of course, it could always be better.

They deserve a 10+ rating starting from signing up to implementing their services. I am not the best person to get computer tasks done and this company made it a breeze.

We have never needed to use the system and it be unavailable. They seem to schedule their server maintenance perfectly (at least for us!).

Your internet connection/speed is the only limiting factor. EZ Texting's pages are optimized to load quickly and do so.

EZ Texting "gets it"! When I have had something I needed customer service to help me with, they returned my emails and calls promptly. I have a smaller business and they came through as if I was a huge corporate entity. They really care about all sizes of customers!

• It is good to use Plivo for integration, and also it provides easy access to APIs, and also, the UI is understandable.
• Even a non-techy can use Plivo and integrate the services if required.
• You have all the APIs available at a single place for your ready reference. Things are manageable and easy.

The most important aspect of implementation was selecting a valuable keyword. When we first started using EZ Texting, we were able to grab a simple, easy word to use to connect people to our texts. That proved invaluable in our marketing and selling people on using the service. If we didn't have a good word, I would imagine it wouldn't have been as successful.

EZ Texting has a much better user interface and better support. At first I wanted to "pay as you go" so switched from EZ Texting to BulkSMS. BIG MISTAKE. After 2 hours of banging my head against the wall, I went straight back to EZ Texting and paid the little extra monthly and it was like light from Heaven shined down upon me

• Yes, it is good to use Plivo, as per the pricing and ease of integration. Twilio has a difficult pattern for business developers and could be understood only by a developer.
• Plivo has proper delivery reports as compared to Twilio. Using Plivo has helped us grow efficiently and in a good manner.

We have never had a problem with the system NOT sending out our message.

• Upselling items has improved considerably due to our ability to notify customers of new products and specials that we are offering in the store.
