What differentiates Podium Text Marketing from other similar products?

Has the podium mobile application which you can use to track the progress of the SMS sending and those who opted in and opted out, the mobile application is very intuitive and easy to use

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the web contact form which allows clients to send text and get responses via text automatically, this feature is very useful in SMS marketing and collecting contacts of the user where they can easily subscribe to our messaging channel and the software is expensive to use.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Support is too limited since it is not like other providers who deliver Support 24/7, they are active sometimes of the week which makes it hard to reach out to them when there is an issue.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Yes, I would recommend the software for simplified SMS marketing
