What do you dislike about Twilio?
At the beginning, my experience with Twilio was quite positive. However, recent regulation changes concerning SMS and phone numbers have brought some challenges to light. I believe that Twilio could have been clearer and more proactive in their communication about these adjustments and their implications.
Upon seeking clarification, I was initially reassured by Chris from support that all was in order on my end. Unfortunately, a few days later, I experienced disruptions with the SMS alerts from my app.
While I understand the weight of my concerns may vary, I felt the urgency of resolving these issues given the critical role of Twilio's SMS infrastructure for my application. I engaged with their support on 8/11, and by 8/14, I'm still awaiting a comprehensive solution.
I recognize that Twilio cannot control external regulation changes. However, as an infrastructure application, I believe it's paramount for them to offer responsive and insightful support. Addressing issues promptly can significantly mitigate the downstream impact on customers like myself.
I truly hope Twilio takes this feedback seriously, as it's essential for them to maintain trust and reliability in their service. While I have reservations now, I believe every company has room to learn and grow. Potential users should be aware and consider my experience in their decision-making process.
For now, I'd recommend that anybody with an app that needs to send critical alerts stays clear of Twilio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
