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 generally use it 3-4 times a month for group meeting reminders, sometimes more. The service is easy to navigate, easy to use, easy to update. I like the scheduling feature so I can set up messages the night before or even well in advance; that way I can be on vacation and still send those reminders!
  • Well priced and easy to use service. Support system is fantastic. I recommend it for start ups and small businesses on a budget.
  • The system is easy to use and keeps us in compliance with state and federal laws. Would recommend it to anyone.
  • The website is easy to navigate and instructions are clear. If I have a question or a special need I have received great help on the phone. Text180 is a great tool for my small business as people may not read emails or my social media, but they'll always see my text!
  • I would highly recommend this texting service for your business. I love the scheduling feature and option to add images and links to the texts. Scheduling saves me a lot of time and I don't forget to send the texts when I am busy. I've used Text180 for 2 years now and love it!

Cons

  • Having just a few more available spaces would be great as I need to be quite creative to get all the info in along with the Zoom code (even a shortened code). But so far I've made it work.
  • Cannot do much about emojis and limited text volume.
  • The pricing is a little high. There may be cheaper options out there.
  • I preferred the 5 digit code to add numbers, but the 1-800 option is working fine.
  • Nothing! I haven't had one negative experience in the past two years.
