## Reviews

### "Esendex Appt Management" — 5.0/5

> **Lucas** | *July 25, 2024* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use.  After the initial set up, it's a "set it and forget it" API that we haven't had to spend any real time managing.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing.  After integration, the product works as intended and with little management.

-----

### "Easy to implement" — 5.0/5

> **Robert** | *July 25, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I found the API was easy to implement.  Good examples and some tech support helped a lot.
> 
> **Cons**: No complaints.  It works.  Not much else to say about it.
> 
> Great.  I was able to quickly add the API to my software package allowing my customers to send texts and receive appointment confirmations.  Great product and service.

### "SMS Text messaging for our customer service." — 5.0/5

> **Martin** | *August 13, 2024* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple interface.  Ease of use.  Good customer service.
> 
> **Cons**: Originally the account management website during the transition from CDYNE to Esendex was a bit confusing, but I think that has bee corrected now.
> 
> Good experience with customer service.  The API is simple to use.

-----

### "Works as expected" — 5.0/5

> **Rebecka** | *August 28, 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Works as describe and save us a ton of time from manually sending emails to follow up
> 
> **Cons**: not sure we have any issues.  It really does work as expected
> 
> It was a good experience, and we are happy we are using it.  We are utilizing it to automate emails to our customers to update them on their order status.

### "Excellent service, product recommendation" — 4.0/5

> **Maureen** | *August 14, 2024* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Esendex ensures the address data managed by my organization meets postal standards.
> 
> **Cons**: We had a situation when a user inadvertently enabled the address verification process multiple times in a single day. It resulted in higher than average fees. Ideally, the application would allow users to set a maximum number of transactions per day. That would help eliminate unintentional charges.
> 
> Customer service is very responsive and provides thorough explanations.
