Sanket Dofe - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Wynisco
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.

Targeted lifecycle journeys have boosted engagement and have improved retention continuously
There is definitely room for improvement in MoEngage. A few challenges and pain points I have experienced include the learning curve for advanced features. Although the basic interface is user-friendly, some advanced capabilities such as complex segmentations, journey logic, and event configuration can present a steeper learning curve. Our new users require training to fully utilize the platform, and debugging complex journeys is not always intuitive. Improvement in guided workflows or more interactive onboarding would help us make better use of MoEngage. While the platform provides solid analytics, there are limitations regarding deep customization and advanced reporting, with limited flexibility in creating highly custom reports. We have noted that exporting and combining data for deeper analysis sometimes requires external tools, so enhancing analytics capabilities or offering more customizable dashboards would significantly add value to the platform. Additionally, we have observed minor delays in real-time data syncing when managing large user volumes, and event-based triggers may occasionally face delays. While these are not major issues, improving real-time responsiveness would strengthen time-sensitive campaigns on our platform. One improvement would be UI/UX enhancements in campaign management because, while the UI is generally clean, managing multiple campaigns and journeys at scale can feel slightly cluttered. Navigating between campaigns and flows can be optimized, and better visualization for complex journeys would help us significantly. A more streamlined interface for large-scale operations would enhance usability. I believe one area for further development could be more advanced AI-driven automation. For example, smarter recommendations for campaign timing, audience selection, or next best actions would be beneficial. While the current predictive features are useful, further maturity would make the platform even more proactive and reduce manual optimization efforts.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Gupshup has positively impacted my organization by helping me increase the user base from an existing point of view from zero to 0.6x in a span of three months."
"At BookMyShow, I typically achieved delivery rates above 95%, read rates between 60 to 80%, and click-through rates noticeably higher than other comparable tools."
"In my experience, the best features Gupshup offers include the ability for a user with no prior knowledge of code to also use this platform if they are creative."
"We have achieved a 97 to 98 percent successful delivery rate for business-critical OTPs and transactional notifications."
"I believe Gupshup is one of the best services that I have used for sending notifications, and I totally trust it."
"Gupshup has positively impacted my organization by helping me achieve a lower customer acquisition cost than another BSP."
"Gupshup has impacted my organization very positively; it is a good platform, very reliable, and this is the first platform that we have used where we did not feel any need to switch over to any competitor because Gupshup is everything it markets itself to be."
"My main use case with Gupshup was flawless; it was very user-friendly, and I personally loved using it."
"Through the automation journeys I created for abandoned cart, abandoned checkout, and product view, I achieved significant customer retention improvements, with my retention rate increasing from fifteen to twenty percent before MoEngage to nearly thirty-five to forty percent after implementation."
"Since I use MoEngage for retargeting, I have achieved a reduction in ROI of approximately 40% on user acquisition costs and cost per lead."
"The best features MoEngage offers include the ability to create a funnel for the user flow, track how the flow is dropping, and identify where the flow drops, and we are experiencing good uplifting."
"MoEngage positively impacts our organization by helping us give an idea to our customers about a product, new product launches, new store openings, and offers, making it quite easy to communicate with the customers."
"In my opinion, the best feature that MoEngage offers is a well-designed funnel report with a timeline."
"MoEngage had a measurable impact on user engagement and feature adoption in our organization through better behavioral segmentation, personalized messaging, and automated customer journeys."
"MoEngage positively impacts my organization as it is one of the core business activities; my marketing team relies heavily on MoEngage to run campaigns and ongoing flows independently."
"MoEngage has positively impacted my organization because the delivery rate from MoEngage is really high, and I receive a very low amount of bounce-back rates and undeliverable email IDs because it has an automatic feature of segregating nullable and invalid email IDs."
 

Cons

"Gupshup can be improved in terms of the UI and the design of the particular model."
"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 think their customer support needs to be improved as they have a very slow response time and lack local support, especially in Indonesia."
"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 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."
"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."
"Gupshup could be improved by adding more selection of templates."
"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."
"MoEngage can improve by making the process of tracking events easier. Currently, it is difficult for me to view the events of a particular user."
"While MoEngage is one of the top marketing automation tools available, I have found that integrating it with other platforms can be moderate compared to Salesforce Marketing Cloud, where data flow processes such as daily data dumps and real-time data refreshes are easier to manage."
"Regarding improvements, I think the support team is very irresponsible and needs to be more active."
"MoEngage can be improved because although the platform is really user-friendly, it sometimes becomes slow when I click and enter."
"MoEngage can be improved primarily as the reporting is not good, so if I want to see detailed customer information, how many messages I have sent, and what the impact is, those things are not good in MoEngage."
"Monthly pricing was approximately two point five lakhs, which I considered a bit high for the amount of data being handled at that time."
"MoEngage can be improved in the sense that while it is aligned to a mobile-first business strategy, bigger organizations with multiple business entities have complex requirements."
"I feel that improvements are needed. I think there should be enhancements such as a more efficient RCS connector to reduce the time spent on manual template additions, especially since I operate in a B2C space with a large campaign volume, and reporting capabilities should allow for a deeper dive into performance data."
