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. ”
LH

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.”
LH

Louis H.

President and CEO

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

Judy F.

Owner

Pros

“Compared to other texting systems, what we love most about Gloo is that we never run out of credits for the month and our texts can be as long as we want and include pictures and gifs and memos!”
CV

Courtney V.

Discipleship Assistant

“I can incorporate longer messages, compose documents (memos), have automatic responses based on respondents words.”
PT

Pedro T.

Associate Pastor

“The Explorer feature opened up an opportunity for use to see how we could use Gloo's features in the context of using texting within our church.”
RW

Richard W.

Lead Pastor

Cons

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

Amber D.

HR Manager

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

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.”
KA

Kristy A.

Emotional Health Consultant

Cons

“Slashing the Gloo+ credit limit from 15,000 down to a measly 5,000 credits per month, while keeping the price exactly the same, is a massive 66% reduction in value.”
DS

David S.

Executive Pastor

“To make matters worse, they have the nerve to charge an extra $75/month for "Powerpacks" just to get back a fraction of what we were already paying for.”
DS

David S.

Executive Pastor

“I do not like the auto-response that my prayer people get when they respond to a prayer request when they answer back that they are praying.”
DR
