What differentiates Twilio MessagingX from other similar products?

What differentiates Twilio Messaging is the ubiquity of Software Development Toolkits and integrations, making it easy to integrate text messaging into many products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of this product is the logging. I am able to view and filter incoming and outgoing messages even if they have not been processed through our own software, which is helpful when I have to explain that a message wasn't processed.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike about this product is the pricing being higher than alternatives. I don't like to feel that I could be saving the company by using alternatives.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend giving Twilio a trial. I believe they give out free trial credit to test it out. The control panel is pretty intuitive and it may give you ideas for new integrations just by trying it and exploring the menus.
