Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

Bandwidth is a great choice when automation is a must. Their API's are broad and include SDK's to make integration snappy. Manual use is also a positive experience through their systems and dashboard. However their support dashboard utilizes a third party (Zendesk) which makes access / experience fragmented.

Long threads within Zendesk, particularly with attachments can make a very long/heavy thread reply and when opening email tickets.

We hope to see all dashboard unified in the future!

If you are looking to provide phone service without taking on the cost of becoming a CLEC, Bandwidth is a very excellent option. Or scenarios where you need to establish service quickly, using them is a must. They are always open to negotiating costs to you if the proof is there for a discount as well.

Bandwidth covers the majority of areas where we had customers. However, there are still some areas we would have like to see them cover for calls. They cover more areas than our other carriers, but they did surprise us from time to time by an inability to be able to deliver call transport.
