Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I love that my clients get to be anonymous especially because they’re living with HIV/AIDS. It’s allowing me to reach them in a more personalized way that eliminates fear & stigma.
  • Very easy to send text messages and manage the responses. It's so simple that anyone could use it to reach their audience.
  • Community was a great way for us to take advantage of SMS to reach out to our clients whom we previously were only able to connect with over one medium at scale being email.
  • I love Community and use it all the time to communicate with fans of my writing. Recently, I had to contact customer service with an issue that they quickly and efficiently took care of. The follow-up to my inquiry was exceptional and above and beyond.
  • Community.com enables businesses and brands to communicate effectively with their audience on a media that has very high open rate, and enabling compliant opt-outs.

Cons

  • Some features are only available with the upgrade. I wish I could do auto reply for certain group sign ups.
  • I haven't really played with all of the functions, but it seems like pretty simple software.
  • The ONLY thing Community doesn't have is a way for our clients to select which 'tag' they'd like to opt-in for without our direct involvement to make it happen. Ex: we have three markets in which we operate and people that sign up for our texts prefer only a couple of those markets rather than them all. They can send us a text back with what market they prefer, but at that point, there is unneeded friction by having to have myself go back in there to manually input their desired market or 'tag'.
  • I can’t think of any cons either for me or my subscribers!
  • More app features on Community.com could be helpful.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I loved how easy to use the software is. It's simple, friendly to look at, and effective. Also, the user interface is very easy to navigate. The responding on texts is easy to use, and great that it comes with Mobile App.
  • SMS marketing is a way of marketing that never gets old. Using Simple texting I reach customers and leads directly on their uncrowded inbox. It works pretty great for regular marketing. You can also send transaction or promotional messages.
  • Simple Texting is a well-known SMS marketing platform. - It gives the best auto personalized SMS. (Custom field option) - The auto-responder SMS is my favorite. - User interest tracking using its analytics.
  • SimpleTexting gives you a traditional but effective way to reach customers with your business marketing campaign or for promotional. The setup was hassle-free. I liked its ability to send personalized texts without writing each time. The insights are decent.
  • I liked its integration with Hubspot, to send SMS with integrated manageable CRM. Bulk SMS marketing can be possible on SmartTexting platform. Also helpful in helpdesk to give a regular update on their tickets.

Cons

  • I really wish that this had some analytics, where I could see what campaigns got the most frequent and rapid responses.
  • No cons. In my moderate usage Simple texting does well.
  • Not at all. I'm impressed with this tool, never experienced problems.
  • In my campaign usage, it gives me a good response.
  • No cons, it does SMS marketing job excellently.
