SendGrid

Avantages

SendGrids high deliverability rates, solid tracking metrics and easy to use interface make it a very attractive offering in a competitive space.

Inconvénients

The pricing structure mean that scalability can be a concern, there are some sudden jumps in pricing. The step from 200k to 250k emails a month takes you from $89.95/mo to $249/mo which is a suddenly 3x cost increase, with similar 2x increases at the next intervals. Having unit-based pricing would be less stressful than suddenly crossing a threshold.

I give double thumbs up to the fact that it automates email marketing which saves time.

Inconvénients

SendGrid had all the capabilities that enables me to automate marketing strategies even though it lack offline access.

Avantages

SendGrid is incredibly simple to use. Its ease in usability makes working with team members who are not as tech savvy, incredibly helpful. This lets more folks take on the initiative to use the platform, over having one person who really knows how to use it.

Inconvénients

The contact limit. When downloading large contact sizes, you have to be really careful about doubling up on contacts, or erasing the file but not the contacts which has been confusing for me

Avantages

Integrated into MS Azure, easy Core 8 (.Net any version), nuget works like a charm

Inconvénients

None really, would like to see a better integration with MS Azure portal to avoid the open other window to check stats.

Avantages

I love the visual editor - it makes putting together email campaigns quite simple. Being able to edit both desktop and mobile independently is always a plus. I love that it integrates with our Salon booking system - Envision.

Inconvénients

Current limitations placed on Envision/SendGrid integration is only 5000 emails per location. We would love to increase but were told we are not able to. Also, unable to view campaign statics with the integrated platform.

Avantages

Send has been an asset in my business to help me get better email deliverability in my marketing campaigns

Inconvénients

For me, it took a few minutes to get it going in the way I use it, but wasnt too difficult

Avantages

We primarily utilize SendGrid to send SingleSend marketing emails and have been able to do so with great success. They make managing/segmenting your list easy to do. I love that they also offer automation, which is something we will be exploring more in the coming months. The A/B testing capabilities are also amazing.

Inconvénients

So far, even after 2+years of using the platform, my only real complaint is I would like to be able to upload a fully embedded/clickable PDF into the platform and send. Right now that is not possible and it along with the elements, must be configured in the designer within the platform.

Avantages

Quite simple to use which can sometimes lead to limitations

Inconvénients

I had several problems in sending due to differences in the database. the planning of the campaigns is non-existent within this tool.

They provide and amazing option to sending transactional emails where other CRM/Marketing options don't.

It is a great all in one tool for sending emails in bulk

Inconvénients

The dedicated IP address is only available on the Silver or higher tied

An wonderful platform, particularly for novices. It provides free trial packages for life, 100 emails every day, and an SMTP feature that can be linked with a program. Emails can be recorded and Follow Up can be done, as well as accurate analyses through development. There are numerous benefits, and it is easy to create an HTML form to place on a landing page or your website to enroll individuals in a mailing list for a charge.

Inconvénients

Haven't really thought about anything negative with this.

Avantages

Sendgrid is really userfriendly and budget friendly.

Inconvénients

It lacks a bit of flexibility from a design stand point but makes up for in intuitiveness.

Avantages

The API is so easy to use and implement. The dashboards and statistics is a great addition which makes our jobs easier and cuts down costs.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a plan between FREE and BASIC. I pretty much need to send around 200-300 emails a day. Free is 100 Emails per day, and the basic plan is 1000 email per day. If there was something @ half the cost to send 300 emails a day that would be perfect!

Avantages

Decently straightforward set up documentation and successful implementation

Inconvénients

The support was very hit or miss, and usually a miss. It seems like they bring on a lot of folks who have no experience with email, so getting an answer outside of what is on their scripted responses can be challenging.

Avantages

After connecting SendGrid to my WordPress installation the notification emails for my web forms send without any issue.

Inconvénients

Getting the "From" domain verified can be challenging sometimes. The process isn't as simple as it could be.
