OneSignal

Avantages

I found One Signal to be the best option for getting started with push notifications. They provide an excellent, documented SDK for almost any programming language and platform where your project is running. New features were always in place to provide more functionality, and any adjustments needed during the setup process were both easy and valuable.

Inconvénients

For Latin American markets, using WhatsApp is necessary when communicating with your clients. It is a very competitive channel, and the users are often more oriented to be notified and contacted regarding sales and promotions through this channel. This integration is not easy to use in One Singal, even thought they are working to keep up with the competition.

Pourquoi passer à OneSignal

Avantages

the best thing that i love about one signal is their dashboard and tools, They provide flexibility for implementation of apis and reach users while they are navigating into our apps. OneSignal's dashboard help us a lot tto keep our users engaged and send them all the updates about our products.

They are getting better and better in Analytics and product insights.

Also i really like their customer support than any other platform.

Inconvénients

One thing that annoys me is i would like to have flexibility in their languages, as our platform is multilangual so multi language will be a great thing to use also a more comprehencive API would be quite benificial for us as i may provide greater flexibility.

Avantages

I believe the free service is far superior to that which any other peers provide and allows a company to use the product without commitment to paid service and not limited in time, to assess whether the paid service makes commercial sense for the company.

Inconvénients

I have not experienced any issues with the product nor have I heard of any issues from any colleagues.

Avantages

Onesignal has wide support to almost all kind of platforms, So if you want to use Onesignal for App/Website at the same time this is the best option because they have SDK for every platform and the detailed documentation will help you to implement is quick, They have a WordPress plugin to make your task easy if you are a blogger

Inconvénients

They promised that it will be free for lifetime when I started using OneSignal. It was I think 2016 and since then I gained 70K subscribers then they set the limit of 3)K and then 10K so it just they offered fake promise I guess, If I move to any other platform I lose 70K users otherwise pay for it.

Avantages

Setting up my account easy! Did I mention free! And easy layout of their site from my cell or laptop

Inconvénients

I'm still rather new so at this time my only issue is the fine print. It's not there and every site has it! What's hidden? So contracts and legalities are my issue? Future issue that is

Avantages

Ability to send to segments and know it will deploy. Setting / using segments is wonky with new vendor.

Inconvénients

Our new vendor lets you enter the link and it will pull in image address, headline and blurb that you can just tweak. Much faster. Also A/B testing is easier too. Does not need some turn-on from OneSignal. Also, I could never maneuver our audience segments to adjust, combine, audit. Maybe that's across all vendors.

Avantages

Using OneSignal simplify the implementation of push notifications inside a mobile app as you only need to implement one sdk and then use one API to send your push

Inconvénients

The stats are basically useless, you need to track push performance elsewhere

Avantages

Such an easy to setup and deploy platform, very intuitive UI for previews and internal tests across multiple platforms

Inconvénients

User and admin management access and testing permission can be a bit unclear

Avantages

Onesignal is simple and easy to use for sending push notifications.

Inconvénients

So far, every looks okay. Thanks so much.

Avantages

They offer a FREE access, and prices are very reasonable and affordable for a business!! A must have!

Inconvénients

So far I have nothing to say that I like least about OneSignal.

Avantages

ease of integration, customization options, and targeting capabilities

Inconvénients

The delays in delivery of notifications, especially during high traffic periods.

Avantages

Push notifications that work really great on web and mobile devices, clean interface with a bunch of features that easy the way we develop and they have a great support.

Inconvénients

Every new feature for android and ios is always implemented but I think they should focus on enrich the already existent features making this great tool even greater than add some characteristics that not everyone needs.

Avantages

It's really easy to set up push notifications for small projects with limited requirements. Implementation of the SDK is also well documented and done within 1-2 hours.

Inconvénients

Recently they reduced features and push you to move to the paid plan (e.g. limited amount of segments, GDPR compliance only for paid users). This had a huge impact and pricing for apps with lots of active users get's expensive quickly.

Avantages

API functionalities are awsome, we integrate Onesignal with our CMS.

Inconvénients

I expected to have a frontend in spanish.

Avantages

The most important features of one Signal that i use is push notifications and user analytics. It helps to understand notification parameters and how healthy engagement is

Inconvénients

The firebase api key change should be made available in dashboard itself

Avantages

Create user segment, add user tags, schedule notification, track number of clicks on notification. Great job

Inconvénients

Recently they reduced number user tags for all plans. SDK is heavy. Sometimes website lags. No App available, only website.

Avantages

I like the ease of setting up employee on One Signal and sending out weather notifications for the emplyees that are in the field so they have alerts through bad weather.

Inconvénients

Have not found anything bad yet that we do not like.

Avantages

I use it to send push notifications to my website visitors. Using OneSignal, I collect notifications from subscribers and send them notifications related to new posts, offers, and updates.
The best thing about this tool is that it is very easy to set up. You can customize and set it for different platforms like chrome, safari, android, ios, edge, etc. The analytics feature is also very good which allows me to view the customer journey, notification history, etc. It also supports multiple CMS like WordPress, Shopify, Blogger, Magento, Wix, Squarespace, Joomla, etc.

Inconvénients

It should have a feature to remove inactive and duplicate subscribers.

Avantages

I absolutely love this software! I use it daily and am happy to pay for then upgrade because it helps me to reach, retain, and reconnect with my site visitors without me giving it much thought. Truly set and forget.

Inconvénients

If you can. Integrate with just a few more email providers it would be awesome!

Avantages

We use OneSignal push notifications to alerts to our readers about breaking stories. OneSignal is reliable and delivers notifications within moments after we publish a story. This is important because the stories we publish impact the safety of our readers.

Inconvénients

We have not run into any issues with OneSignal so far. The free option allows up to 30,000 web subscribers, so we’ll have to consider whether we can afford OneSignal’s paid plans after we reach that number.

Avantages

Using this plugin for a while. The plugin is very useful to send push notications to our visitors about latest posts. The most beautiful thing about this is it is free.

Inconvénients

It send one push notification on chrome. If you will publish an another post then this push notification will overwrite the previous push notification.

Avantages

Best thing that I like most in Onesignal is there A/B testing by creating various segments also Its AI based delivery is amazing it improves our campaign click through rate.

Inconvénients

By using OneSignal I did not think there is anything that I least like about it.

Avantages

If you have a website with information about one topic, that all visitors will find useful, then OneSignal does everything you need. Plug it in and away you go.
If you’re a website with multiple topics or verticals then you’ll need a small amount of development, or install via Google Tag Manager to segment the users into groups for sending.
The high limit on free accounts is fantastic.

Inconvénients

For websites with large amounts of traffic the rates are a little higher than competitors.

Avantages

Very easy to use. Basic features are free of charge

Inconvénients

Doesnt have advanced features. Unless you are a beginner, using One signal might be boring for you

Avantages

The user interface is nice and can be used by non-technical candidates as well

Inconvénients

Cost is too high as compared to other similar service providers
