We implemented Twilio within a small service-based company that needed to point people in the right direction when they got in touch with the company. Whatever channel those people get in touch with us, such as Whatsapp or email, we can quickly streamline the conversation and then keep an accurate record of all interactions in the future.
  • Plenty of options of channels to offer as part of the tool
  • Integrations
  • Automating actions, such as emails and SMS confirmations of orders or support tickets
  • Experienced some technical issues in the past
  • Not the easiest to set up (initially) - this was the first time I used the tool
  • IT executives would find it easier to set up rather than marketers - it would be good if the tool was aimed more at marketing. This said product support is good
Programmable SMS messaging was particularly a very good (and enjoyable) process to create - the tool in this respect was really nice to use. With SMS messages, in particular, the logs or deliveries, etc., and very interesting and presented in an easy-to-use way. Whilst technically the tool is a little complex, the UI is well designed and inviting to use.

In our sales department, as well as Account Management we utilize the Twilio text reminder service in conjunction with our CRM to send prospective and current customers text messages. This has eliminated a lot of ghost calls and missed communication with our potential customers, and current. Most clinicians are busy throughout their day in session so being able to text back and forth is much easier. We've closed a lot more sales from having better communication! Twilio works like a charm!
  • Integrates well with other platforms
  • Easy to setup
  • Support is good
  • The application for mobile phones
  • Adding a feature where you can lookup numbers to see if they're a landline or cell
  • More mobile friendly use
Using the texting capabilities that Twilio has provided within the CRM system my company uses it has allowed me to gain more sales and better communication with my prospective customers. As we all know - time is money, so being able to save time and communicate clearly is a huge help with my job.

I work with busy clinicians all day and they're usually in session but need to communicate quickly to get questions and concerns answered. I am able to quickly respond to them via text and send them important information that they have at their fingertips. I can also send out auto-texts to new clients so they're being taken care of right away.

We had a problem keeping engaged with Clients and we found that Twillo is a great tool for client connection. We use it to keep connected to our Clients.
  • Twilio helps us with Client email and keeps us compliant.
  • Because of Twilio, we rest easy knowing our communication our Clients is happening
  • It helps us avoid being blacklisted as spammers
  • We found it was easy to set up but it takes a little time to learn how to implement
  • Explanations of functionality were sometimes confusing and took longer to figure out.
Twilio for us has been vital because it helps us stay compliant with email. This means we are able to be confident that our communications with Clients happen in real-time and are not delayed because of our mail being redirected to a junk or spam folder.

We use Twilio to buy or purchase our customer's phone numbers that they were going to use once we set up their SevenRooms account.
  • They provide you all the numbers that were available in a certain country.
  • Their security is very very tight for their customers.
  • Very easy to use and navigate,
  • Lags on their website.
  • Long time to load a certain page.
Well, for me personally, as a Data Entry Specialist, I find Twilio a very handy and useful tool for my work. You can set up your customer's phone number very easily. But, the only downside is there's a lot of unsupported countries on Twilio's network. I wish they would be able to support every country that needs a Twilio setup.

We use Twilio as part of our email campaigns with sendgrid. If a recipient from one of our emails engages with our email (open or click depending on the campaign) we initiate an SMS follow-up message. We can take some of the custom data points we use in the email campaign like name, company name, city, state, etc, and use [them] in the SMS message.
  • SMS text messaging
  • incorporate multiple channels into a marketing campaign
  • Broaden customer engagement
  • Better dashboard/reporting
  • Incorporate more channels like social media, direct mail, etc
  • Pricing is fair but I'm seeing alternatives pop up at competitive prices
Twilio is best when it is incorporated with email campaigns. Sending emails and seeing the user engagements to then incorporate SMS text messages has increased our campaign performance. Some planning and coding [are] required but a marketing generalist should be able to work with it.

We are an eGiftCard company that uses SMS as an integral part of user validation and eGiftCard usage flows. Between 2016-2019 (our earliest years) we had employed another programmatic SMS vendor simply due to the cost - we needed to validate our business hypothesis and the cost had to be minimal. Toward mid-2019, when the number of SMSes was at the scale of a few 10,000s, we started getting a lot more complaints about the effectiveness of SMS delivery. And that is when we checked options in the market and went ahead with Twilio - the major reasons we considered were (a.) feedback available on service from fellow startups, and a comparative analysis with other service providers on the dimension of "SMS delivery effectiveness" (b.) ease of integration for our tech team - documentation helped well (c.) set limits for auto top-ups. Since then our SMS usage has grown by a significant factor - 100,000s/quarter and Twilio has been a great fit for us; we don't think about our SMS layer anymore, so I think that's a job well done by Twilio.
  • SMS delivery effectiveness - rarely are non-delivery issues affecting us.
  • Auto top-up of account credits with self-definable limits.
  • Provides excellent documentation that leads to the development team breezing through integration.
  • The 2-factor authentication is the default for Twilio login. For several use cases, we want multiple members of the team to access the dashboard and the email/OTP authentication layer becomes a bottleneck. If multi-user admin privileges can be built-in, that works great.
  • As the scale of usage goes, pricing becomes a concern, and Twilio doesn't have a tiering built into the dashboard that we can leverage on.
Have shared some information in my earlier responses.

We were impressed by two things. The first was the flexibility of the architecture, which the primary RingDNA architect had first-hand experience with on a prior project. The second and perhaps most impressive thing is reliability. The fact that Twilio APIs were unaffected by the infamous April 22nd Amazon Web Services outage really spoke volumes about the stability of the platform.
  • Easy API.
  • Great support.
  • Twilio call flow and routing process is the gold standard.
The Twilio call flow and routing process is the gold standard, and we have used it to make things like RingDNA’s script suggest features happen. We’ve built things on top of it, such as the ability to associate channel information, such as search keyword usage and other call origin features that might influence what people picking up the phone should do or say.

Our company, SnapEngage, is the leading provider of live chat platforms. Twilio SMS API is being used in our company for 5+ years already and is used for providing the possibility of creating a chat between our live chat platform and the customers of our customers (site visitors). A site visitor can create a chat with agents by texting an SMS and the agent will be able to reply from the platform. Put customer is buying of SMS number through our platform, so that their clients could have a chat via SMS. That's very nice for people who can just chat via SMS, so it gives more flexibility to communicate. Along with SMS, we provide Facebook Messenger and etc. Integration with Twilio went pretty easy. When our client doesn't want to use this channel, we just release the number to Twilio. All the logs we can see in the admin account logs. Also, we integrated the Programming Voice module, but Voice API is not used very often as much as SMS. Integration was done a long time ago, 5+ years. As far as I know, integration was performed smoothly, we don't have issues. Some time ago we had live calls using Twilio but not anymore.
  • Provide/release SMS.
  • Texting via SMS.
  • More visible logs.
As we do in our company, it's easy to integrate Twilio SMS API for texting via SMS with clients from the USA. We are a US-based company but have European clients as well.

We use Twilio as part of our SaaS product to extend its reach with audio and text phone communication: Twilio allows us to programmatically create a conference call between 2 parties who are already connected by our SaaS platform in a text messaging session, and allows text messaging to come from SMS channels too.
  • Very easy for developers to get started.
  • Great API documentation.
  • A lot of active community content and code examples.
  • A robust platform, no significant outage impacting our services.
  • The administration dashboard is complex - improved UX would be welcomed for the admins.
Twilio is the go-to platform for developers needing to add phone services in their online services. With the merger with sendgrid and the extensions to Whatsapp and other channels, Twilio is becoming the standard vendor to provide all necessary complex communication technical services to a developer audience. Getting started is fast and easy with tons of code examples and exhaustive documentation.

We use Twilio as a one-stop solution to all our messaging needs, we leverage it on our platforms to create the best developer experience for developing voice and text-based applications. Twilio has got everything covered when you talk about messaging--from sending out marketing text messages to sending out the voice notes to our customers from an IVR. Since we are a telecommunication-based organization, globally we try to have the same set of gateways/applications wherever possible and Twilio has helped us achieve this. We use Twilio across all of our business units globally.
  • Getting to know Twilio is super easy thanks to its amazing documentation, which is written in a very clear and simple-to-understand manner.
  • Console is easy to use, things are easy to find, and navigation is great.
  • Awesome reliability--we haven't experienced any downtime and Twilio's services are highly reliable and built for resiliency.
  • Premium support is great, but they charge a hefty fee. The rest of the support tiers are not that great and we had some issues and friction with the support earlier when we were in the lower support tiers. But since we use Twilio globally and at a large scale, we decided to switch to the top support tier, although it comes at a cost but is good. I wish they provided at least decent support in lower tiers as well.
  • We saw some API failures to the calls while initially implementing Twilio, reached out to our CSM, and he took some time but was able to fix that for us--never imagined the API failures from Twilio.
  • Our customers have complained about very occasional call drops and bad audio quality.
  • Delivering messages to some countries, like China, takes time.
I would recommend Twilio to anyone who's looking for cloud-based messaging software, no matter if you're a business with smaller/limited needs or a multi-million business with a massive call center/customer support team that requires high availability and reliability--Twilio is versatile enough to handle all your needs! It is a platform that scales as you and your business grow. It is also continuously updated with new REST API features and SDKs, which makes it a great fit for the growing tech industry.

Twilio is one of the best communication integration tool in today's world. It is widely used for Whatsapp, SMS, Programmable Voice and email etc. We used it because of their easy API connection with other systems. It is used globally for getting the best analytics and support with their team.
  • Whatsapp Communication
  • Programmable Voice
  • Email
  • Video
  • Required coding knowledge
  • Customer Support
  • Pricing need to be improved
We recommended because of their reliable communication API interface. They can connect with almost all Messaging i.e. Whatsapp, SMS and Chat. Its new feature is used to create the Marketing campaign as well. There account security is very good to secure your from any data breach of the users and customer.

We use Twilio to send a message via WhatsApp to the client with the agent assigned to their case. Twilio Flex is used as a call center to be able to contact customers who have questions or need help with a process. It also uses both calls and messages (WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, and webChat provided by Twilio). Likewise, the way to make calls from Flex to clients attended by agents was implemented.
  • Easy implementation with channels (WhatsApp and webchat) that are already predefined.
  • Using Twilio studio you can define paths with whatever you want to happen.
  • It has a good support to be able to consult about problems.
  • Shortage of numbers to be able to operate, it has happened to us that in a country where we want to operate there are no numbers currently available. And if there are, the actions that can be used are limited. This is in South America (our case).
  • The documentation too basic for some cases that you want to do. If one does not know the language in this case React counts a little to understand how to continue working. (Twilio Flex)
  • There are some features that are still very green or in beta. For example, being able to obtain the name of the person speaking through the Facebook messenger channel. For Instagram there is nothing official to use, it has to be configured by hand. As if you have more than one number to call, you have to customize something to work.
When you want to centralize many channels in a single environment (calls, Messages, WhatsApp, webChat, flows as desired, etc).

Twilio flex is being used for our inbound and outbound call center, we needed to move from our on-prem solution to the cloud. Twilio is being used by all our teams in our company. What's great is we can work anywhere we want just as long as we have internet, we are good. The times that we are in today gave our employees that flexibility vs. having to work in the office. Another thing I love about this system is that it can directly involve the SIP trunking within the Twilio platform. Twilio is a simple, user friendly way to log in and out of work activities.
  • Easy to see my team in one place, when they log in and out and what call status they are in.
  • Twilio is a simple, user friendly way to log in and out of work activities.
  • Excellent services and support.
  • The omnichannel feature which allows agents to get request from all channels.
  • Documentation can be improved for training and learning.
  • You will need an IT team to implement this solution or need to pay for PS work.
  • Getting the logs is a bit difficult for support.
With Twilio, you can start from scratch to build your own contact center in the cloud. I did know a lot about VOIP before, but still needed to learn a few things for this solution. When I need to travel or my agents need to travel for work, they can with all mobile services you can expect (voice, SMS, MMS). The pricing is very good for this and the global user interface makes the whole system pretty easy to manage and use. I only use a few features from the platform, but the possibilities are huge being in the cloud! What is great is they are always working on new services. And Twilio is now really recognized as a leader in the communication space.

In the healthcare industry you need to find different sorts of solutions to reach out to patients for different reasons. It may be appointment reminders, marketing purposes or to update them about requests that they have made. There are plenty of companies out there who do this for you, including the interface with the biggest names for PM systems and EHR, but since we have an IT department and people dedicated to develop custom software solutions, Twilio was definitely the best option to choose price-wise and implementation-wise. It gives you full flexibility to use the system as you wish, write any logical structure to implement your solutions, and it's really cost efficient in comparison to other options.
  • Customization.
  • Price.
  • Documentation (easy to implement).
  • Speed.
  • It is not a direct consumer tool.
  • You will need an IT team to implement these solutions.
  • It's a very specialized tool.
If you have a software development company this is your best option, the cost per message is miniscule, and the it will integrate well into your software. There is a lot of documentation and the API is easy to use once you get the hang on it. If on the contrary you are a consumer who wants a product ready to use by just inputting some data, this is not the product for you. This is the product that the companies that try to sell you those ready to use products use.

We are not currently making full use of Twilio. I would love to do more with Twilio SMS. At the moment, we use Twilio Voice to call our front security gate and to tell it when to open and close. This has been very convenient for us as the process was somewhat tedious for our staff. Being able to automate things through our in-house Laravel database has been a real time saver.
  • Makes phone calls
  • Processes SMS messages
  • Provides a phone number
Twilio has been great for automating the making of a phone call. There are more ways that we could use it to let participants enrolled in our events know that the event they are signed up for is approaching. We could also use it to call people with reminders about safety protocols related to COVID-19. Twilio works well when you have programmed responses (calls or texts) that you want to make to your clients. Twilio is for more programmatic usage as opposed to Google Voice that is good for making a receiving calls. Twilio can make and receive calls as well but it's not like a typical land or mobile phone number.

A year ago we were using Twilio SMS as verification code register/login for out app. Now days we have evolved and since we implement a WhatsApp register/login we had to do all the process with facebook and Twilio in order to have a verified WhatsApp Business Number from Twilio. We implemented our login sending whatsapp code messages and later we implemented a CRM through Twilio whatsapp for our customers (equivalent to others like intercom, zendesk, etc. but with whatsapp). Additional we still use Twilio SMS in order to verify potential leads instead of using captchas.
  • The ecosystem is just good and is online 99% of the time
  • They provide you with needed tools in order to implement solutions that you have in mind.
  • As for Whatsapp Numbers they give you personal follow-up from the beginning until the implementation from the side of Twilio of course.
  • Well when we talk about Twilio we already know is gonna be hard to implement since are most of the time API request. I know that Twilio has partners with several business that make 3rd party integrations so an easy way to find in Twilio those integrators might be useful for those who want to use Twilio but they have the tech barrier against them.
  • Twilio WhatsApp Business didn't have verified numbers for Mexico, so our business is using a US whatsapp verified number business. It could be nice to have a local Mexican number in order to be closer to our customers. For international business this might not be necessary.
  • Cost even for WhatsApp Business is slightly almost the same as sending SMS we were expecting to savings by using Whatsapp instead of SMS so a better differentiation in price will be a good improvement.
Right now we already find out how to implement WhatsApp Business through Twilio like a self development application or through 3rd party solutions. This way we are pretty comfortable in recommending Twilio Whatsapp to other colleagues and actually we have done it. Also if colleagues [don't] have the same technical skills to make the implementation we can recommend 3rd party integrations that automatically give all the main features a business would like to have from whatsapp as CRM, multi seat and whatsapp broadcast.

We use the Twilio voice and messaging APIs to communicate with client communities harmed by internationally financed projects. We have to reach people with extremely limited Internet access and low literacy rates, so the voice API is a key tool for us in communicating with dispersed populations about the harm they face.
  • Fantastic documentation
  • Good customer support
  • Messaging functionality in lots of countries
  • Fantastic error messaging and debugging
  • Not supported in all countries
  • Prices can be high, particularly internationally
  • Programming trees of voice responses can start to get really unwieldy
Twilio has positioned itself as an all-in-one messaging service, and it honestly does almost everything really well. The API documentation is super clear, it generally works smoothly, and when things go wrong, alerts and the debugger do a great job of helping you find the problems. If you need to build out any sort of integrated response system (voice calls, SMS, emails, WhatsApp, etc.), I can't think of a better service than Twilio. If you need more automation, though, with layered in AI functionality, there may be other (albeit more expensive) options that are better suited to your use case.

We utilize Twilio SMS as part of our communication strategy to inform our audience of key deadline and extension dates in the application process. It is currently used by our Marketing team but could be expanded for other department use cases.
  • Competitive rates in the market are being offered.
  • It is cheaper compared to the rates we would be paying if we are to use the services offered by regular major carriers.
  • The API isvery convenient and easy to set up in the back end for operational use with different platforms.
  • It does not directly integrate with Oracle
  • Have to use a third party plug-in to connect to Oracle
  • There's an issue when viewing/searching for SMS transaction logs. When you search for the logs using phone number as a search tool, sometimes the results will not show up.
  • If you export the log, you only get 100 or so rows so you can't extract all of your log data.
Twilio SMS is great for sending out notifications to inform our audience of upcoming deadlines and date extensions as they move through the application process. It is also good at sending out reminders that renewing members can review all of the available plans to find one that meets their needs and budget. Twilio should provide SMS and voice calling as a testing feature on the trial account which can really help people to be more convinced about its awesome services.

With the introduction of two-factor authentication, our users want a single place to manage their time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) across the entire business. Authy improves on the de facto standard, Google Authentication in a number of ways. First, it offers backup of users TOTP passwords. This means that if you lose your phone (or another mobile device), you can easily recover your one-time passwords. Second, it offers multiple device support, enabling users to access their TOTPs from multiple devices. Finally, it offers a better user interface than Google Authenticator.
  • Time-based one-time password (TOTP) backup - If you lose your phone or another authentication device, Authy keeps an encrypted cloud backup of your TOTPs.
  • Multi-Device Support - Your TOTPs are no longer tied to a single device - Authy supports multiple devices (including Apple Watch!).
  • Excellent User Interface - Authy makes it easy to make sure you're entering the right TOTP for your application.
  • Authy does not support the "push button" multi-factor authentication from your application's native apps. This means if you want to use Authy, you still need to use TOTP based codes.
  • Not really a shortcoming of Authy, but it does nothing to help with multi-factor authentication using text messages - those are still sent to your platform's messaging app.
  • Authy doesn't always display how much time is left before your current token expires, making it difficult to know how much time you have left to enter the current code.
If you've ever gone to use a multi-factor authenticated app, and not had your authentication device nearby, but had another device on-hand, Authy is for you. Authy makes it easy to turn any of your devices into your second factor for authentication, ensuring that your codes are always at hand. Even if you don't want to use multiple devices, users will appreciate the ability to back up their authentication codes, so that if their authentication device is ever lost, they can easily recover the codes to a new device, without having to re-register the new device with their applications.

In my organization, there is not a standardized 2FA application we all use, but me and some of my colleagues are utilizing it. We're really satisfied by the additional security that Authy brings, but the risk of losing everything if one device fails is a serious concern. Until now, Authy has made a good job handling situations where a user changes or adds a new device.
  • Easy to use and quick user interface.
  • Very simple and seamless addition of new 2FA accounts, either manually or using QR codes.
  • Until now, I don't have any complaints.
Authy is very useful for the purpose it was designed (two factor authentication) and it behaves really good when there is a need to change, add or replace devices that have access to a specific account. It is the ideal tool for managing multiple devices and easily changing access authorization among them.

We are a health care and medical enterprise with a need to train patients and providers, deliver instructional videos, and capture patient sessions for research. Twilio Video makes it easy and we do and we do not have or need a DevOps team to go with it.
  • Reliable.
  • Works across all platforms.

  • Web RTC and SDKs still can be a bit of a challenge.

If you want to personalize and customize your content, it excels. It's not necessary to do a huge amount of technical setup to get up and running with this. However, the learning curve means it requires a bit of time to get the hang of.

We're currently using it for some of our call contact centers with no real need for reporting, and we also use it for some Sip Trunking.
  • Easy to set up and use without a ton of infrastructure.
  • It's pay as you go, so if you're low utilization but need the professional setup, then this is great.
  • Reporting is the biggest problem, in my opinion.
  • The second would be some of the management tools.
This is great for a small group that needs to be set up. It can even integrate with some CRMs easily, but if you need advanced routing and not a ton of experience with coding then this may not be for you.

Authy is officially our preferred and recommended tool for two-factor authentication. It is available on all Windows PC's. While there are many other 2FA tools available, it has been our experience that Authy is best at handling situations where a user changes or adds devices. Numerous times we have seen situations where a user with another 2FA tool lost access to resources because of a device change.
  • Device changes (desktop & mobile)
  • Consistent across platforms
  • Easy to use
  • Updates are rare
  • Not publicized well, aka their marketing department has some work to do
  • Needs a better installer on Windows
Authy is really good for situations where a user changes/replaces devices. Most other 2FA tools are tied to a device so if you change or do an OS re-install, you lose your 2FA codes which results in the user being locked out. Authy allows you to sign in and your codes are not lost by changing/replacing devices.
