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

“SlickText has become an important tool to communicate with our employees and demonstrate our appreciation through running employee contests via text to win gift cards, concert tickets and even NBA playoff tickets. ”

Louis H.

President and CEO

“Our primary use case is to communicate to our employees and we love the ability to run "Employee Appreciation Contests" via text.”

Louis H.

President and CEO

“I am able to message my customers with great sales and discounts, new products, great markdowns, and everything else.”

Judy F.

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

“Unable to select employees one by one to text them a one-off group message.”

Amber D.

HR Manager

“wanting to text one person or a subgroup info but not being able to can be tricky”

Alex B.

Marketing manager

“I like the features it offers, but I wasn't able to use them because I don't have a website set up and the business pages that I use weren't sufficient.”
