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.

Flexible, easy to use, and has fast output generation
Based on current market trends, Quadient has ticked all the boxes. For the next release, I would like to see more features in the Evolve Cloud offering. The Evolve Platform will be a game changer for Quadient as it will attract more enterprise customers who want to move their CCM platform to the cloud. The other CCM platform has its offering in the cloud, but it has some limited use cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I believe Gupshup has made the process of integrating WhatsApp for customers more agile."
"The return on investment has been tremendous."
"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."
"The amount we invested in Gupshup is actually a benefit for us because the ROI in terms of student admissions was growing each year."
"Gupshup is doing a good job in terms of accuracy and reliability, and they can keep doing so."
"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."
"We have achieved a 97 to 98 percent successful delivery rate for business-critical OTPs and transactional notifications."
"The feature we use on every job is the NS Splitter, which enables us to impose jobs two up on SRA3 paper seamlessly, allowing us to maximize print layout and costs savings."
"The reports we produce are customised to a wide range of client type with the optional pages and sections numbering in their hundreds."
"The most valuable aspect of Inspire is that it is constantly being upgraded to keep up with current market trends."
"The most valuable feature we have found is the speed to produce files and the number of files that can be sent at one time."
"Within our organisation Quadient has radically improved our setup and processing efficiency and has enabled us to offer clients options and turnaround schedules that would not have been possible previously (Print, PDF, Email, Data etc.)."
"Its easy-to-learn scripting possibilities give unlimited possibilities for any task."
"The user-friendly way that workflows in Quadient Inspire can be composed and organized goes a long way towards minimizing the time spent creating complex tasks, thus creating more available programming time/capacity for new jobs. While original scripting knowledge is preferential to using the tool effectively, the modular structure and GUI interface makes it much easier to grasp than otherwise might have been the case."
"Inspire is fast, reliable, and pretty unlimited in what you can do."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it stays in the pending part and it might not get approval from the Meta side, so that is one thing which needs to be improved."
"I think their customer support needs to be improved as they have a very slow response time and lack local support, especially in Indonesia."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If I suggest an improvement, I would desire to see deeper analytics."
"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."
"I would like more wizards to be included in the scripting module and perhaps an online training course on Udemy would be a useful asset."
"They could add more functionality in near future in Inspire Interactive."
"The licensing and setup costs historically have been a roadblock, but there have been improvements on this over the years as things move into the cloud."
"We'd like to be able to see page breaks when we proof the blocks."
"What can be improved are the new additions to the solution."
"The help system is quite thorough if you know where to look, but I find that its search facility is perhaps not as extensive as it might be and often returns fairly random results unless the search terms used are very specific."
"One improvement would be to make the training modules or university free for users, as not all companies will pay for their employees to do the training and get the certificates."
"Imposition would be the area that we would like to see improved."
