This really was an all-in-one, one-stop-shop tool for optimizing push notifications to best suit our goals for company growth and maintenance. It was awesome needing to verse myself in only one platform to analyze and utilize all of the valuable information we obtained from Urban Airship. We were able to easily determine the effectiveness of our behavioral and mechanical pushes as well as employ new push techniques in response to poor feedback. Our engineers spent much less time in a work area to which man-hours had never before been adequately appropriated. Urban Airship relieved so much undue stress from some of our most valuable employees all while actually saving the company money and positively impacting public perception of our products. Additionally, so many other business entities use this same push tool, that many issues and glitches were taken care of almost immediately after being discovered. Troubleshooting was often a matter of referencing a quick database or contacting a very attentive and knowledgeable customer service representative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We loved every part of this product when considering the needs of our company alone. With that said, one potential issue with the product relates to smaller businesses. Businesses with fewer push needs or which simply don’t (yet) have the budget to support jumping into the push marketing space at this level may want to consider other simpler, more cost effective solitions to targeting their audience through specialized alerts. Although the features and interface worked exceptionally well for us, and ultimately increased net profit based upon the marketing strategies it is designed to streamline, for smaller businesses this may not be the case. Even businesses with different objectives, audiences, and/or platforms may have a different experience than was ours, simply because Urban Airship is pricier than many of its competitors.

we use this for all our app project either Android or iOS. Urban AIrship provides us the very easy way to implement the push notification in Android and iOS. It has the very good features for Android and IOS and push notification is one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a limit to send the message in a month. If you want to send more message, you need to pay more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mean it was helpful for building customer interaction, which helped with some retention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It felt a bit clunky to setup, and we had some negative comments internally about the testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to automate push notifications and in-app messages. As well as, analytics to measure effectiveness of a campaign within the Urban Airship dashboard: funnel reporting, data exploration, audience analysis and performance dashboards. API for real-time user-level data to integrate with mobile app experience can help developers and marketers in optimizing customer experience on mobile app devices such as iPhone and Android by targeting and personalization using device ids and customer ids connection. Analytics and integration of data sources can help lift app installs as well as loyalty to increase customer retention and return rates for retail businesses.

Not able to connect mobile link clicks to on-site activity to get full view of engagement analytics. Difficult to identify customers and churn relative to other digital properties and in-store transactions. Big Data analytics needs improvements when compared to other industry leaders such as Adobe Data Workbench, Google Big Query, etc. Additionally, integration with CRM solutions to run email campaigns would help improve its effectiveness around executing multiple kinds of campaigns from one interface.

Using a push notification platform such as Urban Airship can save a great deal of time instead of having to build one in-house.

The ability to create channels and segments, schedule and batch notifications is extremely useful.

The setup (iOS) is pretty straightforward, although migration between major versions of their SDK hasn't always been seamless (but that is expected, specially when the updates reflect major changes in Apple's own APIs!).

Their support team was always helpful when required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price!

I used to use Urban Airship in some of my personal apps a few years ago, and being an iOS developer with little server-side experience, having a platform like this was a life saver.

However they unfortunately got rid of their free tier, and the lowest price plan became too expensive for an indie developer.

A lot of my clients still use it however, on larger projects with real budgets!

Their SDK seems pretty solid these days, but we have been faced with some pretty major issues in the past, notably because of the fact the 'detectProvisioningMode' feature was broken and resulted in all our production users being registered to the development account!

We use urban airship for all of our app projects - it seems to be the most efficient and reliable, as well as an industry leader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't know as much about this product as our IT leads do, but there has been very little complaints about it that I have heard from them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
