Overall Satisfaction with Sinch

Since mobile messages are one of the widely accepted and rapidly responded means of communication, Sinch helps us to reach our thousands of employees with a single script. To maintain compliance in our organsation, we have regular training/sessions which are to be done before deadlines without fail. To make sure this happens, we send out SMS notifications to our employees on a periodic basis and it has proven very effective. The rate of missing on trainings have fallen hugely and now Sinch is helping us to maintain that compliance state throughout our organisation.
  • We have tied our training deadlines w.r.t. the employees and their completion status. In case the status is false, Since will keep on sending reminder SMSs on their mobile phones periodically and therefore, informs the employee to complete training well before the deadline.
  • Apart from this, we also send upcoming Holidays, Salary credits, and much more notifications to our employees which keep them informed at all times.
  • I feel that Sinch does not have very well customer support and documentation. Despite having a strong and durable platform, Sinch brings on a very huge learning curve as very limited knowledge articles are provided on their website. Since this is a new tool, there are very limited online communities/ forums supporting this tool and hence, a newbie will definitely struggle in deploying/ using Sinch in my opinion.
  • SMS service
  • Durable APIs which support tons of languages
  • Positive return on investment
None, this was our very first SMS service platform and it is doing great. Despite a huge learning curve, this platform has made its position and now serving all of our employees.

Sinch is well suited if you believe communication is the solution to 99% of problems in this world. Lack of communication builds issues that can easily be avoided with clear and transparent communication. Emails/ in-app notifications, the not immediate and always causes a delay since it depends on the user's internet connection. On the other hand, SMS is a service, which reaches every individual immediately and without fail. Therefore, Sinch shall be utilised by every company to make sure immediate communication is enabled.
