Considered Both Products	SlickText Daniel McHugh Director of Marketing Chose SlickText We felt SlickText was the most user friendly, budget friendly, and we liked the fact that they didn't balk at the fact we wanted to go month to month to start so we didn't end up in a long term commitment right out of the gate.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Text-Em-All We used Synergy two years ago for a one-off text campaign for our EOY Fund, but it was managed by our direct mail partner at the time. We prefer working with TEA because we can import and export the information ourselves and the pricing is affordable. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Text-Em-All Text-Em-All was the first and only choice. Prior to coming on board we were using a messaging system that was geared towards educational systems and it did not work nearly as efficiently has Text-Em-All has worked. The ease of use made it the decision to move to Text-Em-All easy. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Text-Em-All Our last provider was costly for what we needed. We need the ability to text, and that's it. The sense was challenging to navigate; I had to sign a one-year contract and pay thousands upfront. Text-em-all has been the best thing. Incentivized Helpful? Jay Nickolaus President Chose Text-Em-All I haven't used anyone else. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Text-Em-All It's great.

Incentivized Helpful? Brian Kleinfall Vice President Chose Text-Em-All It’s been over a year since we reviewed solutions, I don’t recall the competitors we looked at.

ML Mattie Laley Executive Director Chose Text-Em-All We have only used Text-Em-All, but have liked it so much we have stayed with it.

User Testimonials
	SlickText	Text-Em-All
Likelihood to Recommend	Very well suited for those getting started with SMS campaigns. It was easy for everyone on our team to pick up and get going without a lot of training. If you have mobile number lists in the hundreds of thousands I can see how it would be tough to manage with the lists, keywords, etc. I could be wrong as we are not in that space but that would be my assumption. Incentivized Daniel McHugh Director of Marketing Read full review	We have found them to be very good for immediate communication of a brief message to a large number of people at once. Thus, it works perfectly for a neighborhood association. It may not be suitable for longer messages or situations with excessive notifications. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	User friendly interface A good resource for making sure we maintain compliance with all the privacy policies The text-to-join feature looks awesome. That is the one we are hoping to get started soon. Incentivized Daniel McHugh Director of Marketing Read full review	The ability to customize the rate of outgoing calls in order to avoid getting overwhelmed. The ease of use makes their service beneficial to me rather than another chore on my list. Giving details on how much my message will cost and giving me the ability to modify it in real-time to control what I am spending. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Easy to find resources for short codes The current automation is nice for beginners but it's not terribly sophisticated for experienced users Minimal integrations to this point but I'm sure more are on the way Incentivized Daniel McHugh Director of Marketing Read full review	My initial concern was regarding the "opt out" feature. I work with the senior population, and many of whom are not that tech-savvy. I have a couple of residents who had unintentionally opted out of messages thinking it was an individual message they were skipping. I would suggest that there be a clarifying question when a user chooses to opt out; it should default to opting out of a single message and survey the user to see if they would like to opt out of receiving additional messages. My residents were wondering why they were missing information and why I hadn't informed them of important dates and events. Incentivized KT Kimberly Taylor Property Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Text-Em-All is a great way to get messages to our associates versus posting on a memo board and hoping they see it. Very efficient. I would recommend this great tool to companies big or small as a form of business related communications. The only thing I would change is the ability to use more characters in the messages. And it would be a plus if you can translate to different languages in the app. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Very easy to use. Intuitive website that our entire team has been able to quickly pick up. In my opinion it is the most user friendly interface of all the software we did demos with. Incentivized Daniel McHugh Director of Marketing Read full review	It's fantastic. In general, it's a 10. But I give it a 7 because of the way I know it can improve. I save my workers' names in lists...and I have only the first and last name fields to classify them. I grade my workers based on their experiences and based on their jobs; so I use the last name field to group them. This could be easier by you adding another field. Incentivized HV Holly Verbeck Senior Office Manager Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	The availability of the text em all is amazing specially when we needed the most to spread out the word on an event that was happening. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	I love the performance it provided us. Also, want to clarify that the time it takes to send out a mass text is amazing Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	There have been few times over the last 18 years that I have had to make changes to our billing or deal with particular tech questions and I have never had any issues with their response time or ability to be helpful once the issues were communicated Incentivized MM Mitchell Minson Senior Pastor Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	This was the best way we were able to reach out to everyone we wanted to, being that there were some not tech-sabi elderly people. This was a better way for them to be able to get the information they needed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Scalability	No answers on this topic	We have never had a problem being able to use Text em all when we needed it Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	We are receiving a click through rate anywhere between 12-20% on our renewal reminder texts Those people who click have a conversion rate of around 50% which is the best of any of the campaigns we run One negative could be if we start to use the tool for promotional texts then there may be a negative impact on the member experience. Need to use it in moderation Incentivized Daniel McHugh Director of Marketing Read full review	100% of the company received reliable information at the same time for the first time without having to hold a “town hall” which used to cause all work to stop for at least 15-20 mins. Because work no longer has to stop for verbal communication announcements, 7.5 hours total of work is saved for every message sent. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
