    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.

    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.

    • integrating multiple third-party applications
    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 applications. I do not recommend Webex Connect.

    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.
