A good tool for handling SMS

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, Whispir is a good platform form handling SMS

Pros:

I like most in Whispir I can easily check if the SMS are delivered or not but we encountered a lot of times that the status is delivered but our customer didnt receive the SMS. They also have good customer service.

Cons:

The only cons is troubleshooting technical details that requires telco cannot be done. We have instance that we have to reach out to the actual telco to do end to end troubleshooting. This should be part of service recovery from Whispir and not from the customers

Versatile communications platform

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, Whispir is a great communications platform to meet anyone's needs. There is work underway to make the experience more modern, and hopefully reporting will be improved, but the current experience for sending messages works as expected and meets my needs and my service consumers.

Pros:

Ability to manage the Whispir platform as a service for our Customers is great - we can cost recover to lower our expenditure and don't have to pay everyone's message fees. The ability to send bulk messages via a spreadsheet is also great as well as complex message options through the API.

Cons:

Reporting is always a hassle - you have to manually create each report and then manipulate the data in excel before visualizing any trends for insights.

Easy to deploy. Easy to use.

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Whispr is a very easy off the shelf product when it comes to mass texting or even email marketing. It's freedom to customize the email template gives it a personal touch to customers.

Cons:

The errors when an SMS was failed to send is very generic. The templates prepared are very rigid and cannot be customized to our country's standard information (eg. phone number code).

Review for Whispir

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: A very comprehensive program with a lot of features. Whispir staff was professional with their help and assistance throughout the journey from the start till the final UAT of the program and now, the after-sales support.

Pros:

The "flexibility" of the program allowed us to "customize" the message contents, the arrangement of the contacts according to our evolving organization requirements.

Cons:

A lot of fantastic features that are additional "add-ons".

Pros:

very user friendly, highly customizable, clean & simple UI, easily accessible site

Cons:

additional cost for modules, i like what i know/ see so far

Whispir as a communication platform

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: It is great for mass communication and it work fine once setup.

Pros:

We find Whispir to be a easy to use platform when sending out mass communication to our staff. The ability to create an adhoc message and send to all at once is great. The delivery report is also useful to know whether the message was delivered or not. We have built an integration with Azure AD so that our staff contact information is pushed from AD to Whispir using API exposed by Whispir. Support is great as well.

Cons:

It is a bit pricy as compared to other SMS gateways. Use and creation of templates is not trivial.

Comments: Overall, Whispir platform is an efficient communication solution. Consider exploring Whispir for your specific communication needs.

Pros:

The user-friendly interface is one of the things I enjoy using Whispir. It's easy to navigate, even for those who are not tech-savvy. The platform also offers a range of customizable templates that I could use to create engaging template for consumers.Another standout feature of Whispir is creating automated workflows that trigger messages based on campaigns. This helped to streamline the processes and save resources.

Whispir for critical communications

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Very good. Support is outstanding and very quick to respond.

Pros:

Whispir support team is exceptional. Some functionality could be improved, not intuitive. Overall though a very easy and effective platform to use.

Cons:

Can not remove those who have unsubscribed from your list/user view completely. Don't like that they are still visible. These should be automatically removed from the list or at least to have the users placed somewhere other than on the left hand side.

Feedback on Whispir service

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, working with Whispir is good, the account managers are helpful. Sometimes, what I experience though when working with technical support staffs is that some of them is not that strong in terms of their domain knowledge of the functionalities and capabilities of Whispir and how it interacts with external system, like communicating with Telco's SMS services. This is based on my experience working on some issues in the past where technical support is not very helpful.

Pros:

The template management and SMS messaging are the most impactful features for us. We are heavily SMS sending to our customers hundreds if not thousands of messages to our customers. On most cases, SMS are sent almost instantly.

Cons:

I have not used or tried some of the features, though what I sometimes find a bit confusing is the status of SMS sending. We need to know if a particular SMS is sent and received successfully by our customers. It may not be very clear if the current status clearly states that the customer device has received the SMS or the Telco only sent it.
