Pros from Real Users Pros The best part of this software is that you can handle all of it from your phone as if you were just texting someone. If someone hops on your website and has any questions or concerns a notification comes up on the bottom corner of the page providing a way for the visitor to contact the company. These messages do go straight to the phone of the the individual over the website, which makes the communication personable and quick. Podium has an excellent interface; it has a high quality in sending files, I can send images or audios without losing quality. Besides that, I use it to create more effective communication and with guaranteed security conditions. Podium cloud is incredible for storing information.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros As an Engineer in MNC, contacting other MNC for work purposes needs a different kind of attention and helping features from normal SMS. TrueDialog helps a lot in managing company-wise Contacts and documents. A professional messaging app. It is easy to set up, use and manage the application including giving out replies and responses to each text. You can easily keep in touch with customers and other users. * The user interface is easy to understand and helps with using most of the features to their fullest. Their live training session helped me get up and running quickly. Great product and service overall. * I Really like the ability to schedule messages and personalize them for each customer at a mass scale. * Affordable pricing, great support team. It offers a smart SMS sending feature to send mass SMS very easily. Enabling this tool with business is very easy. Integrated with CRM tools. The Mobile version also supported. Excellent pricing Portal UI is easy to use and is deep in functionality API availability Terrific customer service Cons There is no such con of the TrueDialog but they should move their price to a more reasonable section. It is gonna be a waste of time, energy and resources If the sms is sent to users who do not give importance to text messages. * No big drawbacks as compared to other services with same features. It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons. Provisioning shortcodes can be slow due to carrier approvals
