"Omnichannel platform for online chat support"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Bird?

Overall the platform is great. The price is economical and our support team always tries to solve all the problems in the shortest possible time. The

the control panel is beautiful and intuitive, and the documentation and support features such as stream builder are very well done and easy to use.

What I love most about this software is that it integrates easily with other solutions and offers excellent uptime and high performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

MessageBird is limited by "providers" which severely limit the content, frequency, and volume of SMS messages. Nothing fancy except for a few UI improvements, but it seems to be gradual. There is no way to immediately add funds. All PayPal payments are manually authorized by our staff. However, payment will be approved within 12 days. Even better if you can install it right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bird:

We recommend MessageBird Platform for those business owners who wants to establish their chat supports without initial costings and those who requires only initiate the chat after the customer have raised any queries or request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bird solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software offers multiple channels for the same price, so it is convenient for users to start viewing the content. We have a much better record than Twilio for sending SMS messages to our users. It's easy to use by downloading an Excel file, sending bulk text messages, and selecting the sender, message, and recipient columns. Visualization of incoming responses and visibility of conversation threads for each message. Easily add numbers as contacts to your database. Data can be easily exported to Excel.

"Messaging Platform with a Clean UI"

4/5

What do you like best about Bird?

I like that the UI is extremely clean and sleek to use. Everything is pretty straightforward; anyone should be able to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can only have one email for your entire inboxes is quite annoying. Primarily when the tool promotes multiple workspaces. Another thing that we dislike is the fact that there are limited roles, specifically only 2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Bird?

Mostly all communication channels under one roof Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

Messagebird is charging an extremely high one-time integration fee (Around $600), which no other peer company charging. On top of it, you will never be able to contact the support team, it always says wait for a mail reply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fraud Company on Payments End"

0/5

What do you like best about Bird?

Tried it for a week. Didn't like it so didn't use it much Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

Had tried it in July 2020 and had linked my credit card. But then didn't go ahead with the paid plan and stopped using it. But surprisingly, they charged my credit card on Feb 4, 2021, for $600 which was very surprising.

Contacted their support team. Was shocked by their response when they denied the same. It was very unethical and a case of fraud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customer support is terrible!"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Bird?

It works as promised, most of the time... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

When it doesn't work or something goes wrong, trying to get help from the Support Team is a living hell. For a company that's supposed to provide better customer communications, their communications with their own customers is terrible. Ever since the released of Inbox, their at at full capacity and it doesn't seem like they have done much to improve. Quite disappointing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pretty Good SMS Service"

4/5

What do you like best about Bird?

The UI is super easy and intitutive to use. Navigating around the service, creating your message, uploading your list and everything else is a breeze with their simple UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

The only issue I ran into was with sending links. You have to get approved by carriers if you want to include a link, but their CS team is super helpful and will reach out to the carriers for approval on your behalf. The only other thing I wish they had was mobile number verification. They may have it now, but it was a little bit of a pain because you will get charged if you have a landline in your list but the SMS won't send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This is what you need as a consumer or business!"

5/5

What do you like best about Bird?

The way the user interface works! it's clear and pretty to navigate true. The options are all displayed properly and the way the information Is given is good for a dummy or experienced user. I can recommend MessageBird to any company or individual, this actually works the way It should with no error's or Interruption or what so ever. Also, last but not least, the customer service Is helpful and caring, they answer in a quick manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bird?

I can't find any dislikes so far. The service Is up and running! If I need to think about a dislike I can't come up with one. The price equals the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Bird:

Just try the service! The best way for us to get involved with MessageBird was the free trial option. Since I could try out the look and feel of a message and the way the system works, was the best way to get familiar with the tools and made me sign up with a good en trustworthy feeling. After the first payment, I could send messages right away to all of my customers or realtions with no delay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Bird solving and how is that benefiting you?

True MessageBird I can reach out to customers In a more personal way. The way e-mail won't be read and calls can be forgotten, a text message is a solution for businesses to interact with customers on a direct level that suits the customer. We use MessageBird for invoice reminders, product activations and many more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
