### "Simple and elegant Customer Messaging Service"

November 17, 2020

4.0

ShoutOUT was able to address our Customer Satisfaction communications with very simple implementation steps. Such services are directly linked with our CRM solution and the ShoutOUT SMS API services made it possible to automate most of the functions we were executing manually before. I believe with the time passed, ShoutOUT will provide more and more benefits to our Customer Relationship management as well as employee relationship management.

Pros

ShoutOUT provides a very simplistically built interface and service management console which can be used even by a person who has very little knowledge in Technology, which helped our organization a lot in implementing the services for the Sales and Marketing departments. The in-person support throughout the implementation was also very helpful.

Cons

The pricing scheme should be revisited. The current plans are not that beneficial for large-scale customers. It's actually a better option for small-scale customers who consumes ShoutOUT services on a non-regular basis but should provide benefits to large-scale customers who tend to use services more frequently.

Alternatives considered

[Twilio](https://www.capterra.com/p/180158/Twilio-Communications-Platform/)

Reason for choosing ShoutOUT

The most important fact was the in-person implementation support was directed from the same country where my company is located, as well as the simple and intuitive implementation methodology followed by all over the service.

The monthly package based approach is a little bit too much, it's better to have only pay as you go or prepaid plan.

### "A tailor-made solution right at your fingertips"

January 9, 2020

5.0

As a Web Engineer, I provide web solutions to many clients monthly. I'm looking forward to suggest this solution to upcoming clients to integrate their eCommerce website with shoutout and increase the customer reach.

Pros

The most convenient thing about Shoutout is the ease of use and availability to integrate the service third party systems. I've integrated with Woocommerce with the provided wordpress plugin, volia! I was able to set it up without any delays.

Cons

I did not particularly find anything that I would rate as a con.

### "Signing of the agreement form"

June 10, 2020

3.0

It help my business alot by reducing strees on me since I'm the only one managing my company for now

Pros

It's a nice software that helps automate how I respond to my customers without always been there all the time.

Cons

The aspect of signing user agreement should be improved because the method is discouraging. The company should adopt a user agreement form that a user can sign by clicking I agree to the terms and conditions than the normal method they are using.

June 15, 2020

4.0

In overall, I'm satisfied and I'll be using this for our future SMS campaigns.

Pros

Ability to create campaigns and send bulk SMS is the best part indeed also the ability to schedule them or send on the trigger is nice. Prices per SMS or Email are also good.

Cons

I was kinda lot until I just wander here and there for a moment. Good if can have a kind of a wizard to take the user through creating their first campaigns
