Overall Satisfaction with OpenPhone

We use it to communicate with our customers, mostly via texts not as much calling unless a customer specifically asks for a phone call. OP addresses the ease of setting up and using a phone number by making it a SAAS. We use it for day to day communication for high value customers, some transactional texts, some promotional texts as well.

Pros

  • Group chats
  • Ease of setting up qualifications (CRM type details)
  • Use with Zapier
  • Linking with Slack

Cons

  • Web app could work better in my experience
  • Pricing could be lower
  • Somehow connect with whatsapp or / and other messaging apps that people commonly use
  • Quicker communication is 100% ROI, sooner we can talk to our customers, the better.
  • Ability to send promo texts is huge for us.
  • Group chats also a new ability we didn't have before.
Because I think it's simple enough to use but could still use some adjustments. Some thing are maybe not as intuitive to me even though I am probably a mid power user? If I can recommend it, I would suggest you copy how Intercom is doing things, but this could be just personal and most people don't feel that way.
Intercom - not exactly the same type of product but still a messaging platform which is what we use OP for. OP is superior in that it's more focused. We only use it for texting and some calls.
Braze - we used it before for promo texts, we found it more confusing, harder to navigate and price was higher as well if I remember correctly.
Whatsapp - problem is that you can't reach all USA customers using it.

Yes

It's well suited for everything we use it for which is day to day communication with high value customers, some transactional texts, some promotional texts. In some cases we created some group chats which worked fine as well. I don't have any bad experiences with it really apart from their desktop app not working that well for me.
