Bandwidth vs. Sinch

Bandwidth is great for wholesale origination and termination. With a decent commitment, you can get great rates, and their support is excellent. Recommended as a primary source of service for voice traffic.

[Sinch is] a great SMS aggregator offering full performance with short code messaging. They are very helpful with the certification process and their after launch production support is extremely good too, even going above and beyond after hours in the rare situations where it could be required. My only area of concern is pricing as I've seem some competitive pricing from other service providers that are quite popular too.

• They are innovative and constantly updating their APIs, UIs, and products they offer.
• Their UI and API are user friendly and intuitive.

• mBlox has top tier support, with 24/7/365 availability.
• mBlox engineers have industry knowledge that allows tuning and optimizing to each of the carriers they interconnect with.
• mBlox's service implementation team has industry knowledge which helps shortcode programs get approved by the carriers quickly.

• While their porting department does a wonderful job, it seems to be the department that feeds other departments. They promote many out of that department to take on more responsibility elsewhere in the company (which is a good thing). However, it leaves us to work with yet another porting person who we have to learn to work with.
• I cannot really say much else that's negative about them. They do a good job, have an easy to use portal, and respond well when things aren't working.

• I feel that Sinch does not have very well customer support and documentation. Despite having a strong and durable platform, Sinch brings on a very huge learning curve as very limited knowledge articles are provided on their website. Since this is a new tool, there are very limited online communities/ forums supporting this tool and hence, a newbie will definitely struggle in deploying/ using Sinch in my opinion.

Bandwidth wins hands down. We were lucky to get someone from CenturyLink to return our calls, their trouble reporting dashboard was horrible and they, as a company, were generally unresponsive when we escalated issues. They would close tickets when the issue was still very obviously occurring. Bandwidth doesn't close a ticket until the end user says it is fixed -- which is refreshing in the telecom industry.

None, this was our very first SMS service platform and it is doing great. Despite a huge learning curve, this platform has made its position and now serving all of our employees.
