Textmagic vs. Webex Connect

TextMagic is a wonderful solution for small businesses or non-profits just adding an SMS text service to their marketing outreach program. Very easy to set up and use. Customers seem to like SMS as a method of communication. Easily lets you keep in touch with them at a very nominal cost. Immediate feedback if they respond to your text on the dashboard through chat.

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.

• Connection between other services ERP, CRM and slack.
• Textmagic is a tool for kids who want to SMS chat.
• The possibility to change the SMS provider to Twilio or others. It is not legal to forbid that but they find a way to bypass that.

• A high end application UI suffocates on low end hardware, so a "lite" version should be there
• SDK integration is messy for starters

I am very happy with how TextMagic is working. I don't see a reason to spend time searching for another solution when this works great at a good price. Customers have shown a good response to the text messages we have send. Very small percentage unsubscribed (but that was automated/easy).

It has been very easy to use TextMagic to set up. The calculator showing character count which relates to cost is easy to see and adjust. The scheduling portion is also easy to set up and edit if needed. You can see history to copy wording if you need to. I have suggested to other friends that do not have a text service.

TextMagic just worked. Where Trello seemed like we needed to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it working, TextMagic was simple to set up. Everything seemed streamlined and easy to manage.

• It's just a small part of our communications with employees but they appreciate it very much!
• It is a very cost effective communications tool.
• There is no negative impact. I just need to remember to update the contact lists with any employee changes.

• The simplicity of integration of API with multiple messaging apps has increased our reach.
• We ourselves are impressed with Cisco's Webex platform, and are planning to switch to our majority of communication channels to Webex platform applications.
