Pros

“We use it for our charity's CRM as it gives us enterprise-level cloud infrastructure, reliability and scalability, plus we get charity pricing and credits that make technology we'd normally never be able to afford for a 100% non-profit organisation like ours.”

Mark C.

Board Trustee Membership Secretary

“Microsoft Azure gives us the ability to manage devices (corporate or BYOD), utilize Conditional Access Policies, and also provide other security measures in order to provide and sustain a stable work and network environment.”

Clyde W.

System Adminstrator

“Managing user identities, conditional access policies, and device enrollment all from one portal has made life a lot easier from an IT standpoint. Once everything is configured correctly, it's pretty reliable, and having cloud-based identity management means we're not dependent on an on-prem domain controller for everything.”

Blake A.

IT Technician

Pros

“Years ago they were great to work with, easy access to support by phone or email, helpful account reps that stayed on top of things and stayed in touch, competitive pricing, and innovative features. ”

Russell M.

President

“Port triggering, SMS integration, fairly reliable.”

Russell M.

President

“I'm compelled to share this experience openly as a caution to others who might consider engaging with Bandwidth for similar services.”

Zubair A.

CEO

Cons

“Token caching and SSO behavior on shared workstations has also caused some headaches that took a while to dig into and weren't well documented.”

Blake A.

IT Technician

“We were nearly caught out by the costs escalating too quickly, even with the charity discounts we had from MS, when we started adding services we thought we needed!”

Mark C.

Board Trustee Membership Secretary

“The platform is already cluttered with numerous features and options and during most times admins feels overhelmed with tech features.”

Chinthaka J.

Head of Global IT

Cons

“The path they haphazardly forged providing 10DLC functionality and set moving target dates on blocking traffic was a nightmare, they didn't have it together on this, left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing and forget about the customer being in the know.”

Russell M.

President

“With three different account managers (ie [sensitive content hidden] and now [sensitive content hidden]) in 12 months, continuity and understanding of our project suffered greatly.”

Zubair A.

CEO

“We have yet to send a single message in over a year since apparently being onboard into A2P SMS product.”
