Likelihood to Recommend OpenMarket is well suited to support enterprise SMS at scale, with a wholesale and flexible solution. Their provisioning team is great in terms of response time, and support for their products is deeply rooted in industry and technological understanding of SMS. OpenMarket would not be well suited for small companies just starting to test the waters with SMS in a low barrier way.
Read full review While there are likely a variety of scenarios that would work well with Vonage [Communications APIs (formerly Nexmo)], implementations that need transactional message and response actions are a great fit. Our experience with transactional messaging has been really good and we are continuing to look at opportunities to expand our usage of this part of their service.

As soon as the delivery status changes on the website, the message gets delivered. The rates are also cheap and affordable. The accuracy of the services and the non-stop supportive team. Simple API, easy to integrate with existing notification functionality in your Laravel apps. Ease of implementation. We needed less than one month to go live. Read full review Cons OpenMarket does most things well. One thing they are missing is MMS capabilities on text enabled long numbers. The portal for entering shortcode program briefs is kind of clunky, it would be nice is account managers took the Word document and imported it into the tool for clients.

Newer channels to reach customers are quickly worked upon and implemented faster. Transparency with billing
Read full review Usability Infobip gradually introduces things sometimes which is difficult to implement
Read full review The overall usability of Vonage [Communications APIs (formerly Nexmo)] system for message delivery is sufficient for our implementation. Some improvements and additional reporting options in the account administration interface would increase our utilization of the post-delivery data further in order to provide further value-added features for our clients.

Read full review The product feels a bit like a black box since it's built to be an off-the-shelf solution so sometimes it feels like the only way to really understand it is to talk to an engineer directly as the documentation is so-so.
Read full review Implementation Rating A strong roadmap involving key stakeholders can help move things faster. Be clear with volume commitments for delivery channels.
Read full review Alternatives Considered As a top tier aggregator, OpenMarket requires contracts to utilize their services, whereas other SaaS providers allow users to signup and start sending within a shorter amount of time. The benefit of using OpenMarket is the relationship, and the SLAs in availability they maintain. Other aggregators offer equal levels of service, so there are other shops in town selling the same thing with the same reliability.
Read full review Nexmo is the best platform in the industry for sure. We don't use all the features that the API provides but we are really satisfied with the ones we use. We are sure this is the best solution in the market if you need to solve the communication in real time with your customers. When we have to build a new website we are going to support the solution with Nexmo.
Read full review Return on Investment OpenMarket has had a positive effect on our business in terms of providing a low-cost bulk SMS and MMS solution.

Our business objective to have high availability, and connections with top tier aggregators is supported by our relationship with OpenMarket.
