Partner program has reduced messaging costs and now supports reliable, large scale communication
I believe Gupshup could improve in several areas. Since our partnership involves working at scale for multiple WhatsApp Business API numbers over their infrastructure, I noticed that Gupshup also provides WhatsApp Business API for single consumers, which I saw on their website and documentation. They charge additionally per message or template message on top of the actual WhatsApp Business APIs messaging rate. For example, sending a WhatsApp marketing template costs around $1.50, and Gupshup adds their own service fee per message, around 20 to 30 cents. For a single consumer working at scale and sending thousands of messages daily, this can become concerning. They should implement a solution where it could be a one-off payment instead of per message payment, allowing single consumers to leverage their service better. What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me. Being a tech-focused person, I believe the system we rely on should be totally reliable and the people working on it should be reliable as well.

Automation has reduced large call centers and provides real-time outbound support for patients
Kore.ai is a low-code platform, and you do not necessarily have to be an expert in artificial intelligence or generative AI to use this platform. However, if you have that experience, it will be a valuable add-on. The main advantage is that it has almost every kind of plugin available to use, whether for live agents or if you want to use it as a call center. You have real-time capabilities and the most useful plugins available, with almost every kind of model available with configurations. We can configure the ML models and train them. The platform is very user-friendly with explanatory features and a great UI. One significant feature is the live testing platform with Kore.ai. When you are creating a workflow, you have an interactive, real-time testing platform that reflects every change you make. This makes it easy to debug errors or add new features. Additionally, Kore.ai has many different tools and platforms that cater to different needs, whether for a call center, normal workflow, or machine learning workflow, which is really useful. Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually. A low-code platform always helps, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development. It was particularly helpful for our team that we could create a POC and get that project into production. Kore.ai helped our team build a generative AI outbound calling chatbot, and it truly helped our customers. If you have a hospital with a thousand employees in a call center, you might consider outsourcing. However, with Kore.ai's outbound calling capabilities, you can eliminate the outsourcing part. You do not need a thousand call center employees. You can accomplish this through automation with just one or two employees if people need to switch to agents. This represented a significant cost reduction.

Cons

"If I suggest an improvement, I would desire to see deeper analytics."
"I think Gupshup could be improved with online support or WhatsApp support so that we can talk directly with an agent, instead of working only by email."
"I remember that I was trying to get the webhooks about account information, and I had trouble finding in the documentation how I could receive webhooks about the account, such as when we have an account that could be blocked or when the limit of messages might be erased."
"Gupshup can be improved in terms of the UI and the design of the particular model."
"What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me."
"I would appreciate more granular error code documentation for edge case API delivery failures, deeper out-of-the-box integration with cloud monitoring tools such as AWS CloudWatch or DataDog for native metric scraping, and a more responsive administrative console when querying massive historical message logs."
"My feedback regarding Gupshup is that during the DLT setting of IDs in the SMS and WhatsApp section, whatever is written in the portal has to be precise."
"Gupshup could be improved by adding more selection of templates."
"Kore.ai can be improved by enhancing their documentation, which is currently a bit disorganized."
"I would suggest incorporating pre-recorded videos in the tutorials and enhancing the documentation area to make it more user-friendly."
"Customer support is okay, I guess. We get what we want from them whenever there is an issue or something, but sometimes when we had issues, it was delayed a lot."
"To improve Kore.ai, I suggest focusing on more agentic automation, such as offering MCP kind of features with an orchestration layer for use cases."
"I choose 7.5 out of 10 for Kore.ai because a few things already need to be improved, one of which I have mentioned."
"I rated Kore.ai an 8 out of 10 because additional features could be added to it."
"The two points I deduct relate to the integrations, which were not as extensive as I initially expected."
"One thing I have learned is the unpredictability of LLMs and how buggy Kore.ai is as a software."
