What differentiates Podium Text Marketing from other similar products?

Has the podium mobile application which you can use to track the progress of the SMS sending and those who opted in and opted out, the mobile application is very intuitive and easy to use

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the web contact form which allows clients to send text and get responses via text automatically, this feature is very useful in SMS marketing and collecting contacts of the user where they can easily subscribe to our messaging channel and the software is expensive to use.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Support is too limited since it is not like other providers who deliver Support 24/7, they are active sometimes of the week which makes it hard to reach out to them when there is an issue.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Yes, I would recommend the software for simplified SMS marketing

What differentiates Podium Text Marketing from other similar products?

I think it was one of the first with the idea of messaging and capturing those messages while away, then getting them to where they can be viewed and responded to. I don't know that the features and offers are or are not different from other products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to send out review invites!

What do you dislike most about this product?

The fact that it does not integrate with anything else we have (software/licenses etc). So it is yet another standalone program that has its benefits but also its drawbacks.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do pretty thorough research on what your specific needs are. With software and technology, things change so quickly that what maybe did not work for you in the recent past, will now. Or the reverse!
