Pros

“We use it mainly as the OTP layer in SaaS applications, including projects we develop for clients and our own rapidly developed products.”

Furkan A.

Founder

“Twilio provides the layer of programmable voice api, it means you can use their sdk to build an messaging and calling application easily, it starts cheap and for small scale of application, it is very good.”

Shuchun Y.

Software Engineer

“Flexible tools for adding communication features such as SMS, voice calls, and notifications to applications.”

Léo L.

Management

Pros

“Routine tasks — sending a multi-page fax, copying a configuration — turn into multi-hour or multi-day ordeals. If your workflow depends on faxing or on managing your own phone configuration, look elsewhere before you commit.”

Chris G.

Owner

“As a moving company, communications is a big part of our daily operations, since our team is constantly coordinating with customers, drivers and internal staff”

José G.

CS manager

“I explained that I was sold the account with the understanding that all 5 of my phone numbers could use SMS at the same time.”

Bob W.

owner

Cons

“The slow support response caused unnecessary delays to our project and prevented us from using the platform as planned. While Twilio has excellent technology, the onboarding experience needs significant improvement for business customers.”

Muhammed A.

Technical Project Manager

“Their customer verification process is unnecessarily burdensome and inefficient. Despite providing complete details about my LLC, business purpose, and intended use case in my initial response, I received identical verification requests from three different support representatives [sensitive content hidden], each asking for the exact same information.”

Justin B.

Manager

“The phone number I purchased has been unusable (returning busy signals when called) while this verification process drags on. When I attempt to test my configured flow, it doesn't work, likely because the account verification is pending.”

Justin B.

Manager

Cons

“I contacted support (each time I spent time with the AI agent and frustrated, would give up, ask for a live agent and be on hold for some time.”

Bob W.

owner

“Literally 20+ emails to close my account and they still charged my credit.card the momth after i closed my account.”

Jason S.

President

“However, despite this, Nextiva continued charging our credit card for five additional months, without our authorization.”
