Considered Both Products
Text-Em-All
Chose Text-Em-All
It's very expensive, there's no free trial, and it's not very user-friendly. We almost registered with them, but thank god we found text-em-all.
Chose Text-Em-All
We used Sense before Text-Em-All, and they were very pricey. We heard about Text-Em-All through Avionte and signed up after the introduction. We are delighted with Text-Em-All.
Chose Text-Em-All
Different products, but Text-Em-All reaches more users at a better price.
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.
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.
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.
Chose Text-Em-All
It's great. I did not like our old solution and thoroughly appreciate Text-Em-All. Text-Em-All is a solution that we can be proud of and the reporting is terrific so we can be sure that the dollars that we are spending are being allocated in a smart way. We also can know if …
Chose Text-Em-All
By far Text Em All trumps other similar products we've tried. With customer service alone, we were blown away.
Chose Text-Em-All
Both are fine. Previous employer used Constant Contact for newsletters and other ads.
Chose Text-Em-All
Text-Em-All was easier to use in terms of adding contacts, creating the SMS, and sending it. Delivery rates were much better as well.
Chose Text-Em-All
It's been a few years since we last used the service so I cannot remember the name of the company but it was free and it was lacking.
Chose Text-Em-All
Text-Em-All allows us to add and subtract folks from our contact list easily, where Textedly only has the option of static contact lists where once someone is removed from the list they cannot be put back onto the list without jumping through hoops.
Chose Text-Em-All
It’s been over a year since we reviewed solutions, I don’t recall the competitors we looked at. But none of them had the features we were looking for at the price point we needed as a non-profit.
Chose Text-Em-All
We have only used Text-Em-All, but have liked it so much we have stayed with it. We have another program that could potentially be used in this way, but Text-Em-All is more cost-effective, allowing you to add funds as needed instead of monthly charges.
Chose Text-Em-All
Text-em-all was a recommendation from a mutual customer. The integration with CRM can be better (writeback capabilities) that automatically enter in notes within our CRM system. This is a glaring issue that will be a major win.
Chose Text-Em-All
My facility has not utilized another platform like this, and at this time we do not feel the need to even look elsewhere. We have been so pleased with our experience with Text Em' all. We do not think that we could find another product that is as easy to use, and is as …
Chose Text-Em-All
Text-em-all was more cost efficient and allowed us to text a higher volume than their competitors.
Chose Text-Em-All
I would consider these equal in ability. I would also consider Text-Em-All to have better customer service. TextUs did have a better price point.

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.

In my opinion, this program would be well suited for any business that wants to keep its employees engaged. It gives almost a personal touch to let them know about alerts, company activities, office closures, etc.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Real time updates.
  • Piece meal subscriptions.
  • Distribution of information.

Cons
  • 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.

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.

From my experience, their customer service has been disappointing. They have not been willing to work with me and my needs. When pricing was significantly increased, I was not informed of this in advance. It simply increased and I discovered it by accident while reviewing my subscription.

Usability
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.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm just overlooking something because it's so easy to use. It literally took no time to be up and running with this program.

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

When I ask questions to customer service, the questions are not all answered. They do not come back with alternative suggestions for me and my subscription. They are not rude but only provide standard "answers" that it appears they have been coached to give

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.

Return on Investment
  • 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.
Read full review
  • Textedly has freed up a lot of my time previously sending out individual messages to different contacts. With the built-in client database and the ability to quickly send off mass messages, I now have more time to focus on the areas of my business I'd been neglecting.
