The best software for SMS and other marketing needs out there

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I was using ClickSend to send SMS to me and my customers every time a customer places an order on my WooCommerce store. And it helped me a lot to know about the orders faster and to inform the customers about their order faster.

Pros:

I like everything about ClickSend. They have lots of features and my favourite is SMS. It's the only feature for which I joined their platform, but after joining their platform I found lots of other services they provide. I'm yet to use their every service. But their SMS is the best and they have integration with Zapier which makes it even amazing.

Cons:

What I like the least about this software is the pricing and payment method. Their pricing is higher compared to few platforms I have came across and their minimum top-up is $20 and it's fixed and top of that they only have card as payment option. And this is what I like the least about ClickSend.

Great for Basic Needs, But Lacking Advanced Features

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: My experience with ClickSend was very good. It is an excellent choice for businesses that need an easy-to-use platform for sending SMS, emails, and voice messages.

Pros:

1-ClickSend allows send messages via SMS, email, voice, and even postcards which makes it a versatile communication tool. 2-ClickSend provides 24/7 customer support.

Cons:

It lacks some advance features that other competitors provides. Like 1- It lacks in depth mobile app features. 2- It lacks advance SMS personalization.

Flexible pricing, and that's about it

2.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: Overpriced, but good for those who want to test to see of SMS or omnichannel coms are right for their business.

Pros:

There's not much to like about Clicksend other than the fact that it's owned by Message Media/Sinch which makes it more reputable. I do like how they're fairly transparent with their pricing. It's just all pay-as-you-go with no commitments. That's why I'll give them 2/5 stars instead of 1/5.

Cons:

The platform is outdated, and it's priced quite high compared to Twilio. They also only offer a 99.95% uptime guarantee compared to the 99.99% gold standard.

Works well priced fairly great customer service.

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Great. A rare great customer service. It just works for me and is priced fairly.

Pros:

It just works. Any minor glitches and I contact customer support who actually answer and try to fix it.

Cons:

Still have a weird glitch in the send part of mass sms if I only have 1-3 mobile numbers they group as one number. But, it's minor compared to the benefits.

Invaluable for our Marketing

5.0 last year

Pros:

Easy to setup with great customer service. I was able to get setup and staring sending messages in minutes. As a non-tech-savvy user, I find it intuitive, particularly for sending text messages. No onboarding fees or monthly charges, just a pay-as-you-use model, adds to its appeal. The support team is responsive and patient in guiding users through the system.

Cons:

Nothing! The features are more than enough at an excellent price.

It's great when it works

2.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, it works great - WHEN IT WORKS. It allows people to respond to messages. But we are disappointed right now because no one will return our request for help, or even send a list of things to look at. This stopped working during a critical time in communication with our staff, and left us scrambling for a different way to reach out to them. We've not been able to use this for 4 weeks (or so) now, and our funds are stuck there with no response.

Pros:

We found it easy to upload our teams' numbers and track how many text messages went out. Easy to track billing. After doing a trial with no set phone number, we decided to invest in one specific phone number. Most of our employees do not work at a computer, so it made broadcasting messages simple, quick and effective.

Cons:

Recently, texts started failing. We can't figure out why. We have reached out to Customer Service twice to resolve the issue. While we aren't a big user on their platform, the fact is the failed text messages are costing us. We can't trouble shoot effectively this way. No one is reaching back out to us.

Hi Daava, I'm sorry to hear that you have concerns about message delivery in the ClickSend platform. While global messaging can be complex, our Support Team should be able to assist, and I am both surprised and concerned that they were not able to solve your problem. I'd love to hear more about the issue so that we can improve our service and product. Please feel free to email me directly, or you can get in touch with our Support Team 24/7 via Online Chat, or at [email protected].

I love the Clicksend phone app!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Really love them! And I have to say their customer service is top notch

Pros:

The mobile App was by far my favorite feature of Clicksend. It didn’t matter where I was I could see a detailed report of the delivery status for all of my messages

Cons:

To get a private or dedicated senders number it’s not very cheap. Other than that I’m very happy with Clicksend

Love the integration with Zoho

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall we are pleased with ClickSend and use it with Zoho CRM for most of our customers.

Pros:

ClickSend integrates with Zoho CRM. We can have two-way conversations with our clients, stored in their records. ClickSend just added the feature to send group messages. It's easy to send a message. The cost is great too, and inbound messages are free!

Cons:

Creating SMS templates is confusing. It would be nice to have the ability to create workflows in Zoho CRM using ClickSend. Adding the option to schedule the messages would be a big plus!

Great One-Stop-Shop for Business Texting

5.0 5 years ago

Pros:

- SUPER affordable payment options - Plenty of flexibility in terms of set-up, which made it easy to fold ClickSend into a very unusual business model - Interface was smooth and easy to explain during roll-out

Cons:

- Would be nice to have more intuitive routing for situations where multiple users use the same number, i.e. if someone texts the number "out of the blue" - No landline texting!
