    Aside from COVID-19, we had to close the school down 3 times this school year due to smoke (bad air) and a piping issue. Titan was able to get our messaging out immediately and we were able to make sure no one showed up to school when we sent out a text message and email message early that morning. We have been able to mitigate issues by communicating effectively with our families and staff.

    I have tried other competitors. But I always end up going back to Twilio because I feel like it is dependable, easy to use, and, has competitive pricing. The only time I wouldn't recommend Twilio to someone as if they are completely inexperienced about using webhooks or APIs. Because you can't really just sign up and start using Twilio without connecting it to another platform first.

    • Control panel. Often, navigating through lists is challenging. I want endless scrolling, not pagination.
    • Conversational intelligence service require a Language. I would like it to detect it.
    • We would like to have some credit on clients that chose to use their own Twilio account.

    Titan has enabled us to quickly and effectively communicate with our constituents. We have used Titan when we need to get an important message out or when we have had a crisis. It has worked extremely well and Titan has provided a top-notch product. The app is extremely easy to use and the web interface is also very simple to use. Additionally, we have made requests to enhance the product and every time a suggestion has been made, Titan has listened. There were two critical updates they were able to make this year, that has made sending messages out a lot easier. We had requested our school name be used when messages were sent out, not our own personal names. So now when I send a community-wide message, it is sent from the school and not one specific person

    Unless we can get this handled quickly -- less than 1 week -- we will likely switch to another provider who, in my opinion, we'll have to spend close to $3,000 in development time to build a new integration for texting. Our clients need texting and I feel Twilio has failed us miserably.

    Twilio has well documented APIs and examples. There are several tutorials, videos and Q&As regarding their services. So, usability is very good. I must say that advanced knowledge of telephony, API/Programming and error-handling is essential to make good use of Twilio. It's not just plug-and-play unless you are integrated with a system that has all of the programming built for it.

    Twilio executes what it is designed to do: send SMS messages at scale while providing very good deliverability. I believe that Twilio is very good at what we use for adding SMS messages to our comms strategy. We can see those messages get opened and replied to, which is exactly what we are looking to achieve.

    I have only needed to use Titan Support once or twice, but I was able to get my issues resolved quickly and on the same day. Support and my account rep are always there if I need assistance. They are very focused on customer service.

    I have not had to communicate with Twilio support in the last 3 years but my past experience with them has been very positive. They replied to my previous requests promptly and kept me well informed to resolve my inquiries. With their documentation that's available, I hardly imagine why anyone would need to contact support since it's all there in a concise and easy to understand format. It would probably take you longer to type out a support ticket than to just open their doc websites.

    Titan told me what they needed on their end to upload the information and I was able to provide them with the data. Our account rep hosted a training for all our faculty and staff so everyone was comfortable using it. It was very straightforward

    We used Blackboard Connect previously and it's a terrible product for communications. I am so glad we left it.

    We evaluated many fundraising-based text-to-give programs and found the subscriptions prohibitively expensive for our small scale and uncertain first few years of development. While we may be willing to invest that kind of money after discovering how things work, we're happy with Twilio now and have no desire to start over.

    • We found that associates who had the opportunity to respond to a survey about their assigned job were 37% more likely to return to a job site
    • We were able to reduce the number of resources required to manually respond to associates using Twilio Studio, so those resources could have more time to complete other tasks
    • We were able to scale the number of associates who received survey messages at least by a factor of 8 without increasing our resource demand
