Honest and safe connectivity partner **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Endre U. | Software engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Hologram?** They are just a lot better at handling the customers than all the other options. They are also very stable and have easy to use services. The totality is that it was quite simple to get started with Hologram, and that we have a great deal of faith in them. They always give good answers when we ask for things, and they are always resonable, even when we are not. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** There are some contractual things that could be more in our favour, the largest uncertainty is future prices and SGP.32 platforms. It is the main downside of all providers, so this is not specific to Hologram, but it is hard to get committed prices over longer term as a growth company. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** They provide our connectivity backup solution, which depending on the quality, might in the future become our main connectivity solution. ### 2. Switched to Hologram and Never Looked Back – Flawless Performance + Spanish Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel P. | R&D Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Hologram’s reliability is a game-changer—no more lag or disconnections, unlike my previous provider. My customers stopped complaining the moment I switched! But what truly stands out is their exceptional technical support. Not only do they offer assistance in Spanish (a huge plus for me), but they even gave me pro tips for optimizing my API integration—like how to use SIM geolocation data by connecting to the nearest cell tower and where to access APIs with tower listings. Their documentation and team made it effortless to build custom solutions for my clients, including a reseller portal. It’s rare to find a provider this powerful and supportive. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** The only downside is the lack of a built-in reseller platform. While their API is robust enough to let me create my own client dashboard, an official white-label solution (with billing and user management) would save time for businesses scaling IoT services. That said, their API flexibility almost makes up for it! **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** As an IoT SIM reseller, Hologram has transformed my business by solving the critical pain points of unreliable connectivity and complex management that plagued my previous provider. Their rock-solid network performance eliminated constant customer complaints about disconnections, while their intuitive platform and powerful API allow me to effortlessly manage hundreds of SIMs across multiple clients - I've even built my own reseller portal using their tools. The clear pricing structure lets me offer transparent plans without hidden fees. **Official Response from Jonathan Rosenfeld:** > Thank you so much for your review, Daniel! We appreciate the feedback. ### 3. IOT in Agricultural Industry **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen B. | Chief Technology Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 01, 2023 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Hologram has improved its service over the 4 years I have worked with them. They have improved their portal to give the user better information on the devices in the field and the data consumption of each. They have improved the set up of new devices to speed up deployment. I am very happy I chose to partner with Hologram to deliver data from our on farm devices. They have proved dependable over the past 4 years and I am happy to continue to grow our business knowing Holgram will be the default IOT provider for our company. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** I don't have anything negative to say about Hologram. I find them easy to work with and the solution is dependable. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our devices our located on rural farms so we use Hologram to send data from these devices. Connection can be challenging in some areas and where others have failed Hologram has succeded. ### 4. Good product - Great support **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael M. | VP Platform Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2023 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Responsiveness of the support team. Our dedicated support resource is quick to respond and marshall the resources we require to sort through issues that come up, regardless of whether we ended up being the source of the issue in the first place. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** It can be difficult to understand their global coverage, especially in asia. There are are complex network in diffierent parts of the world and how much coverage Hologram has can be challenging to sort out. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Unified IoT connectivity globally from a single vendor. They provide seamless global coverage at a good price and allow us the flexibilty to deploy most anywhere without concerns. ### 5. Hologram is one of the best IoT sim provider you'll ever see on the market **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Industrial Automation | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2023 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Hologram is best used for IoT devices with low data consumption usage. One thing that I really like is their remote connection called spacebridge which greatly helped us easily manage our hardware by remotely connecting to it with the help of spacebridge. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** IMHO, what I don't like much is the latency which would also affect our system behavior due to the fact that our system relies on a fast response transfer of data. It would be better if they could improve this by providing more servers that are close to their huge customers to improve the latency even better. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hologram greatly helped us on managing our devices by using their remote app called spacebridge. In which, we could easily connect to our gateways without the need for an additional configuration on it. ### 6. Incredibly Cheap rates and Incredibly easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nathan T. | Sales Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Hologram?** I enjoy using Hologram because, unlike nearly every other SIM card provider, they are upfront with their costs **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Long Shipping times can be a bit slow - This has been amended Sometimes their support to order more SIM cards is a bit slow, especially if you're ordering a lot. **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** Don't go through other SIM card companies' hoops where they ask you to fill out a form before using their SIM card. Use Hologram instead, where you can just order a demo and try it out. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Significantly reduced our COGs ### 7.

Their products stand out with significant advantages in the market, and the professionalism demonstrated by Pat and Chris, who consistently provide prompt and insightful responses, has been invaluable. I eagerly anticipate the continued growth of our partnership, confident in our shared potential for achieving even greater milestones. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** The new annual commitment mechanism is causing us some stress. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** The extensive network coverage and capabilities of three carriers in the US have been of great assistance to us. ### 8. Hologram Meets Our Needs **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2023 **What do you like best about Hologram?** The most helpful part of hologram is the easy to navigate dashboard. It shows us where our devices are, when the last connection was and how much data was transmitted. We have come to find this invaluable. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Ocassionally it is a challange to track down a specific device. That largely has to do with with the search function not always picking up the correct Id or IMEI though. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hologram solves the issue of managing our devices and their connectivity on t he web. ### 9.

Ease of activation and quality fast service providers. Simple, easy billing with no monthly minimums on a rarely used device at times. Pay for what you need - when you need it. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** No customer support you can call into, HOWEVER, I have yet to EVER need to call someone to get a device activated. **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** Easy to use platform. Keep costs down. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had multiple carriers, keeping track of what device was with what carrier. Hologram solved this by providing multiple REDUNDANT carriers, if one goes down we are not sunk. IT will default to other carriers in area. Simple, easy billing with no ### 14.

Hologram is never down. Also, it is cost-effective. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Service can be better. Sometimes the response time is not that great. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Multiple carriers are able to connect with hologram in India. ### 21. Ready to use, perfect coverage to all our devices **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Waldo M. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Hologram?** The ability to connect 2G, 3G and 4G equ **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Is not easy to find how to order new sim **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Better connectivity and fare costs ### 22. Good price for good product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Prices, dashboard and functions that hologram offer **What do you dislike about Hologram?** At this moment nothing, because all work great **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have a problem with the plan of each device, but I contacted the support team,and they fixed it fast. ### 23. So far good experience **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Their interface is very good. They provide a lot of useful tools including spacebridge. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** The spacebridge program only allows a maximum of 5 stations to be forwarded. I use it a lot, so I hope it can be improved. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** It solves the connection of IoT in a cost-effective way. Much cheaper than mainstream network provider ### 24. One less headache when handling devices moving through borders **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gustavo O. | Air Quality Scientist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** It is very refreshing to find a technological solution that is so easy to work with, get the SIM card, stick it in the device, and away it goes. I looked for local options in my country, but none of the local carriers could give me a better deal on data rates for my solution. The responsiveness of the team is also very welcomed. Being in a very different time zone (GMT+12), it is always uncertain how long I would have to wait for a response. Still, Hologram's team has always responded very quickly, which has meant that any issues have been sorted without much downtime. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Interacting with the dashboard has been frustrating at times. Messages failing to show and updates not "applying" correctly have been recurrent. I have resorted many times to implementing custom API requests using Postman or the Thunder extension for VSCode because the dashboard hasn't been reliable enough for me to diagnose issues with the data from my devices. **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** I have no regrets about choosing Hologram for my devices, but I can only say that for my use case. In general, I'd advise checking very thoroughly that the locations where you intend to deploy your assets are covered by the technology you want to use. I have found that the 2G coverage has been great in NZ and the US but not in Sweden (part of that can be sorted by upgrading my devices ... in my roadmap). The great thing about Hologram is that you can get a SIM card to test the integration with your devices and then scale up your deployments as needed so it's a very low-risk initial investment. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** My application is about environmental monitoring (air quality), and my original issue was that I wanted a mobile phone solution for my modems that would remove the hassle of changing SIM cards when sending our devices to our collaborators overseas. An unexpected benefit has been that the local carriers haven't improved on Hologram's data charge rate, so I even saved money! ### 25. A Global IoT operator who has a lot of potential if they play their cards right! **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abhay B. | Lead Embedded Systems Design Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Hologram has solved one of the major bottlenecks we have faced in the past and that is the constraint of relying upon a single cellular carrier. With hologram, our devices are able to work out of the box, without any major hurdles. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Unlike more mature companies like BICS, Hologram lacks the infrastructure or the option to make carrier selections on a dashboard level. Thie support team is not at all up to the mark, and when your device runs into trouble with the local carrier (network failure of Internet connectivity failure), you are in for a rollercoaster ride! No 24x7 support, all supports are on emails, and they have their people sitting in the US with a12 hour time difference! This leads to a delayed response from both parties involved! As a startup, they are unable to handle customer support and are unable to provide the required features that are crucial for smooth operations. To sum up, if the device is working smoothly with the carrier, you will have 0 issues. But if even the tiniest of issues arise, expect a weeks time minimum for any resolution to take place. **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** Until they come up with network locking methodologies, it is difficult to debug remote device installations once issues arise from local carriers. The hologram team does not do anything without device diagnostic logs, and like us, if your devices are situated in rural or remote places, collecting such logs becomes difficult. So keep this in mind. For the premium amount we pay per MB of data, this particular issue is causing us a lot of pain! **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** The only major benefit we are getting is that we do not have to get tied up with multiple carriers and multiple carrier plans. With hologram, this bottleneck is getting eradicated. It has also got us a lot of problems and we have realised that Hologram is not mature enough to cater to the global IoT carrier market yet. ### 26. All platforms work very well and the entire team answers questions very quickly. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Hologram?** The platform works very well. It allows making reports very fast. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** At this point, I don't have any points that I dislike, but of course, the prices could be cheaper. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** I have problems with the plans but the team fixes them very quickly. ### 27. A Great Cellular Product for any IoT platform **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Partha R. | Lead Software Engineer, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** We have been using Hologram Sims and their Services for the last three years, and it has been a pleasant experience. Here are some of the things that I love about Hologram, - It's Hardware agnostic, which means it doesn't matter what kind of hardware architecture you are into; Hologram will be supported in it, as it comes with all the standard mechanisms. - Flexible pricing helps a small-scale startup ( which we were at the beginning ) to a midsize or a Big-sized organization. The pricing plans are created in such a way, along with features like pausing services or on-demand deliveries, that it helps you to manage your expenditures in a very well fashioned manner. - Excellant customer support has always been a delightful surprise for me personally. Whenever there has been any issue they have always helped us. Even there has been instances where some of the usecases we had required development effort from their end. That also they provided and and been there as we did the integrations. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** While I absolutely love Hologram's services, there are some things that I think can be improved. Here it goes - - Trial package is not upto mark if someone wants to just try the services before using it full fledged. They provide very less number of sim cards and data bandwidth compared to competitors. - Internal data structure is bit complex if you're using their services, also the API's available are not very flexible. e.g - there isn't any API which gets you the data usage for a particular sim card or the fact that in order to get details of a sim you need to use linkid rather the sim number. These are just two, there are many use cases are there for which the REST services are still unavailable. Having said that, it hasn't been an issue as their customer support is great but if they improves the APIs then it will be amazing. - Pricing is on the higher side when compared to local operators. It could have been competitive. **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** If you have scaling in mind and while starting you have the budget for Hologram, then this is the best option you can have. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have been using Hologram's sim cards for our IoT platform. By using those, we enable our hardware devices to be able to be connected to the Cloud Server seamlessly and synchronize real-time data. It has also helped us maintain our systems periodically by using their well-documented services and webhooks. ### 28. Good connectivity, poor customer service **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** The hologram global SIM cards connect to most US carriers excluding Verizon unless you are on a Cat 1 network. The pricing is easy to understand and straightforward. I like that the SIM finds a carrier on its own and does not require a lot of searching for the strongest signal. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Hologram customer service is very difficult to get ahold of. They advertise the new eSIM solution but it's practically impossible to get them as a smaller developer. Also, the website sucks. The online shopping cart glitched out, I was unable to order Hyper SIM cards and the login during checkout does not always work. **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** Plan on doing everything yourself. You won't be able to get customer service from these guys. At least the admin panel works. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were able to find an affordable connectivity solution which works in a rural setting. Cellular infrastructure is sparse out here but hologram seems to be able to connect to local networks. ### 29. Great IoT connectivity provider! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cord S. | Cloud Engineer/Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Hologram has worked with us to make sure our needs are met and also has a program that allows the set up of SIM cards without activating them that assists greatly in our manufacturing process. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Until you escalate an issue to a level 2 resource, you tend to get substandard help that seems to be following a script. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hologram allows us to "pre-flight" our SIM cards, so they are ready for use and have been tested by allowing a small amount of data to flow without fully activating the account. Their "pre-flight" mode is beneficial for our manufacturing process, and we have been unable to find another provider with a similar program. ### 30. Fasal - Smart agriculture use case **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dhaval C. | Technical Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Service, Easy to use, Subscription model, Availability and integration with different network providers, Easy debugging using the dashboard. Service notifications using status page. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Even though cards have not been inserted into devices, we have to keep paying a fixed amount on them. There is the option to pause the card, but it won't stop the fixed cost. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Single sim card multiple networks. As we have our IoT Devices installed in remote areas and we don't know which network provider has the best coverage in that area, the hologram is a blessing for us. ### 31. So far so good! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Commercial Real Estate | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 25, 2022 **What do you like best about Hologram?** It is an easy way for us to remotely manage our EMS system **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Website was a little difficult to set up **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to remotely manage software ### 32. Management and Reporting of Large Industrial Systems **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael M. | CEO/Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** Dashboard and easy of enabling devices. IP network support, over all reliability is very high. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** Incident and reporting can be very slow. Low granularity in plan pricing **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** Define your use case and determine the best technology to achieve. I use only IP connections to my devices due to the data interaction. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** I engineer, manufacture and operate large scale sanitation systems for the largest food processors in the world. The installations are throughout the US and without Hologram it would not be possible. I engineered Hologram into the products/machines I manufacture. They are very complex and operation is time critical, Hologram allows me to monitor globally my systems, make adjustments, and dispatch personnel for repairs. None of it would be possible without Hologram. ### 33. Hologram support team is professional and knowledgable. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2021 **What do you like best about Hologram?** The team is very professional, knowledgeable, and has well-organized customer support processes. What I like the best is that the team is willing to work with us and even with our manufacturer closely to resolve problems that we accounter. **What do you dislike about Hologram?** What I don't like is there's a lack of flexibility on the SIM to be activated or de-active as we needed. Especially we have the 12 months contract term with our customers, but Hologram SIM can be auto-set for the period to deactivate the data. **Recommendations to others considering Hologram:** I would suggest Hologram will impletement an automated control on data usages and its timeline. **What problems is Hologram solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hologram has been very helpful in supporting our business requirements. We build the SIMs into our devices and send them to end users before data usage is incurred. Hologram has been flexible with the timing and helped with problems in the manufacturer's assembly process. However, SIM card and data control flexibility are essential for our business models.
