### "Texting customers couldn't get much easier"

July 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

We have been using ZipWhip for just over a year now. Customers LOVE the ability to send us a text at our service telephone number. Our staff loves the ability to have multiple people logged into the account so that we can see if a customer has been responded to, as well as the ability to look back in the history of texts to see what was discussed previously.

Cons

The company is located in the Pacific time zone, so if I have an issue (Eastern Time Zone) at 8 am, I have to wait an hour for them to get into the support center.

### "Great Platform and Helpful Support"

September 25, 2023

5.0

We never had any issues with thr platform. It functioned well for our uses. I am very sad to see Zipwhip go.

Pros

It is very user friendly, and you cannot beat how affordable it is. The ease of use was amazing!

Cons

They are being cancelled and will not available soon :( LOVED ZipWhip!

### "Nice to set-up landline texting, but messages weren't always getting delivered"

May 4, 2020

3.0

It was fine, but frustrating when trying to resolve an issue and couldn't really seem to get any help.

Pros

This software was very easy to use, had many features we needed. Our customers love being able to text our business line and it was easy to add a text button to our website.

Cons

We text our employees a lot and there were times, in a group, not each member would get the message. We went back and forth with customer service a lot and they blamed our cell phone carrier, but our phone carrier confirmed messages were never reaching them. At the time we used this product, they had ZERO compliance tools, so we set out to find a company that could help us with that as well.

Thank you for your feedback, Jen. We are glad we were able to provide you with texting capabilities that your customers loved. However, we are sorry to hear about your deliverability issues. We looked into your issue again and determined that your messages were being delivered from our network to the phone carrier's network. Once a message leaves our network we work very closely with our carrier partners to ensure deliverability. Issues do occur though, and we act quickly with our partners to remedy any situations. Additionally, Zipwhip has supported a number of compliance and security regulations for many years. You can find out all about them here: https://www.zipwhip.com/compliance/. We apologize if this was not made clear to you and will ensure our customers understand the options available to them. Thank again for sharing your feedback, have a great day!

### "Very Basic"

November 25, 2019

4.0

Zipwhip has allowed us to have a centralized texting system so that all employees can view communication that affects the company. In that, it has been a positive experience but it has an overall clunky feel.

Pros

I like that everyone on our team can track each other's text messages so we can pick right up where someone else left off when communicating. The Interface is clean and easy to use.

Cons

I don't like having to use a multistep process when uploading multiple contacts or texting a group. I don't like that texting groups are limited to 50 members.

Switched from

[Vonage Business Communications](https://www.capterra.com/p/159047/Vonage-Business/)

Employees were using direct business lines to text from so if they were not in the office for a sick or vacation day then there was potentially a delay in our response time.

### "Exactly what I was looking for"

November 12, 2020

5.0

Overall their support is not perfect but very good, most other companies just blow off your request to fix something and at first I thought zipwhip was doing the same but they actually followed through and fixed their app/integration with zoho perfectly.

Pros

Simplicity and integration with Zoho CRM. At first the integration didn't work perfectly as it would only sync messages with contact records and not lead records but after some back and forth they updated the integration and now it works perfectly.

Cons

There are a few features I'd like to see like pulling in additional merge fields from my crm to use in messages but outside of that I love it

Switched from

[Kixie PowerCall](https://www.capterra.com/p/135636/Kixie-PowerCall/)

I wanted all my agents to use the same number but have separately logged messages and communication history, zipwhip manages multiple users on the same phone number better than any other service I've found and it also integrates with zoho crm nicely

### "Trying to text your clients, but sick of using your phone all the time? Try Zipwhip!"

December 9, 2019

5.0

Overall, it makes it easier to text clients, especially when there are multiple clients at once.

Pros

I love the fact that I can easily text clients without having to use my cell phone while at the office. It's easy to input information so that I can tell which phone number is which as well. I can easily see the conversation that my co-worker has also had with clients so that I can catch up easily without having to ask the client questions that they have already answered.

Cons

I have no cons about this software as of this review.

### "Basics for a small team"

April 1, 2019

4.0

We had a good experience with Zipwhip. We left it behind for a simpler more effective solution.

Pros

Zipwhip was our first foray into texting for sales and customer service. We learned a lot for little money.

Cons

Everyone shared the same number. It was difficult to tell customers and prospects apart and to route the text to the right team.

### "Great tool! "

November 3, 2022

4.0

Pros

We got ZipWhip to diversify the ways our insurance agent's can communicate with our customers. We found that our tech savvy customers picked up to the software very quickly, and would from time to time text our agents with questions. The desktop app is easy to navigate, and the cost was reasonable.

Cons

Sometimes we would have glitches where a notification would fail to make a sound on an agent's computer. This slowed our response time to our customers when this happened.

April 12, 2022

5.0

ZipWhip introduced our business to many features that elevated our standard for client communication at an amazing price point.

Pros

Prior to the acquisition, ZipWhip had by far the best price point for the features offered.

Cons

After being purchased, they divested their customer service to support the new platform offerings.

July 3, 2023

5.0

Pros

Zipwhip is so user friendly. Allowed us to send group messages, which is big for our communication with our brides. Love the ability to see each text conversation separately (just like on a phone). Easy usability of use of app.

Cons

That they are closing. Everything else about Zipwhip was great for our company.

I thoroughly enjoyed using ZipWhip, I just wish they had a few more features. Such as searching by keyword through texts. Aside from that, it was very user friendly and fit our needs.

### "Zipwhip Review"

August 21, 2019

5.0

Zipwhip has been a key component to our success in selling tickets for FSU athletics. We are able to reach customers on a better level and open up a line of communication that we never had before. It is hard to imagine succeeding in the sports sales market today without a product like Zipwhip.

Pros

Zipwhip has a very easy interface to use and is very user friendly. All of our sales and service reps use it on a daily basis to get in touch with clients and offers us another avenue/ channel to reach them on a consistent basis. We have found that with the way technology has shaped our every day lives, it was vital for us to keep up with the times and find us a texting service that connects with our land lines in our office.

Cons

With us being on the East coast, it can sometimes be tough to contact someone if we have problems early on in the morning.

### "Increases efficiency, customer satisfaction, and Employee satisfaction"

June 4, 2020

5.0

ZipWhip has helped us reduce the number of after hours calls by 90%, both with clients, leads, and employees. We have also seen a reduction in telephone time during office hours, as texts tend to be much quicker to handle than phone conversations. This is an effective tool for scheduling changes, new client meetings, and other operations communications. It also provides a paper trail that is not available with a telephone conversation.

Pros

Emailing has taken a back seat to texting in our organization, both with customers and employees. With ZipWhip, all office personnel can observe communications and everyone can see the response that was given. This internal communication transparency is cumbersome with a telephone or email.

Cons

It is not yet perfected with voice recognition on an iPhone. Spellcheck is still being perfected.

Reason for choosing Zipwhip

Cost and buyer experience.
