Text-Em-All
We have found them to be very good for immediate communication of a brief message to a large number of people at once. Thus, it works perfectly for a neighborhood association. It may not be suitable for longer messages or situations with excessive notifications.

For large organizations that are looking to build big, robust SMS programs and want the benefit of a CRM back-end for managing users and messaging.

Pros
Text-Em-All
  • Scheduled delivery: works as it should every time and is SUPER convenient.
  • Mass contact upload: I was able to pull a report to excel and it loaded PERFECTLY to ‘Contacts’
  • Feedback: if anyone doesn’t get the message, I will know almost immediately.

  • Customer service. You have your own point of contact. They are very supportive and helpful. They always respond quickly.
  • Their deep non-profit discount.
  • Their message schedules. Very flexible and it can be a relative schedule to say a pregnant woman's due date and someone's goal date for quit smoking, etc.

Cons
Text-Em-All
  • My initial concern was regarding the "opt out" feature. I work with the senior population, and many of whom are not that tech-savvy. I have a couple of residents who had unintentionally opted out of messages thinking it was an individual message they were skipping. I would suggest that there be a clarifying question when a user chooses to opt out; it should default to opting out of a single message and survey the user to see if they would like to opt out of receiving additional messages. My residents were wondering why they were missing information and why I hadn't informed them of important dates and events.

  • Some features require additional cost. The nature of growth means the product becomes more expensive and that is a problem for some buyers.

Text-Em-All is a great way to get messages to our associates versus posting on a memo board and hoping they see it. Very efficient. I would recommend this great tool to companies big or small as a form of business related communications. The only thing I would change is the ability to use more characters in the messages. And it would be a plus if you can translate to different languages in the app.

Usability
Text-Em-All
It's fantastic. In general, it's a 10. But I give it a 7 because of the way I know it can improve. I save my workers' names in lists...and I have only the first and last name fields to classify them. I grade my workers based on their experiences and based on their jobs; so I use the last name field to group them. This could be easier by you adding another field.

There have been few times over the last 18 years that I have had to make changes to our billing or deal with particular tech questions and I have never had any issues with their response time or ability to be helpful once the issues were communicated

This was the best way we were able to reach out to everyone we wanted to, being that there were some not tech-sabi elderly people. This was a better way for them to be able to get the information they needed.

Text-Em-All
Our last provider was costly for what we needed. We need the ability to text, and that's it. The sense was challenging to navigate; I had to sign a one-year contract and pay thousands upfront. Text-em-all has been the best thing.

We had EZTexting before. They don't have relative scheduling message so we had to switch to another vendor. We checked into SMS Magic, but they were not very responsive to our sales inquiry and then we received some phone call from India from someone who's very hard to communicate with.

Return on Investment
Text-Em-All
  • We definitely have a higher response rate when we contact applicants via text message; it seems to be the thing people check more often than email now.
  • It saves us a lot of time wasted before with "phone tag" when employees are unable to immediately to take a call.
