Overall Satisfaction with Twilio

Twilio SMS is integrated in our SaaS application called the Atrium by LSPWare LLC. It will send SMS text messages to interpreters asking them if they can accept an interpretation job. They can respond via SMS if they are interested in the job. These SMS text messages are fully integrated into the product and will automatically assign interpreters to jobs.
  • Twilio's interface (web site) is very intuitive and modern to use.
  • Twilio's services are growing. We started to use their phone number formatting service (free) to recognize what country the phone number came from and how to format it in their locale.
  • We plan to use additional services in Twilio like using multiple local phone numbers for some of our larger clients that send tens of thousands of text messages.
  • Twilio's logs could be better. There are times I want to report on how many outgoing and incoming SMS messages I have sent via the app. This information is obtainable but could be improved upon by more filters.
  • SMS Messages is a very important service we provide to our customers. They expect this feature to be available for our product.
  • We do not have many (if any) outages from Twilio. In fact, I can not think of any off hand.
If you are a SaaS company and need to integrate with SMS, phone or video, Twilio is for you. There pricing structure is pretty straightforward and allows you to auto-reload your account when your balance is low. This is a nice feature, as I don't have to worry about not sending SMS messages because I forgot to fund the account.
