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.

I value the document formatting and generation.
I value the document formatting and generation. It has evolved over time and has seen better days, but the capabilities are still very good. However, not for the high price. The product is good, but it is butchered to be a workflow engine, which it is not really designed for.

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 achieve a lower customer acquisition cost than another BSP."
"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."
"My main use case with Gupshup was flawless; it was very user-friendly, and I personally loved using it."
"The return on investment has been tremendous."
"I believe Gupshup is one of the best services that I have used for sending notifications, and I totally trust it."
"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."
"I think the best feature Gupshup offers is the very good documentation, and I appreciate how they provide assistance when we need it, as well as the architecture of the documentation."
"The system has improved a number of customers' communication pieces, made them look better, and provided features to enhance them."
 

Cons

"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."
"Gupshup could be improved by adding more selection of templates."
"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 think their customer support needs to be improved as they have a very slow response time and lack local support, especially in Indonesia."
"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."
"The main thing the support team should do is give immediate resolution, not take a day or two or three days."
"Gupshup can be improved in terms of the UI and the design of the particular model."
"Everything is proprietary and the days are counted that it will last."
