Avantages

This was the first email service I used and I picked a good one. Works like a charm and they keep adding features. Their website support is really strong too.

Inconvénients

Can't really say anything bad out SendGrid. I guess it would be great if the free tier allowed more emails?

Avantages

The software is powerful and while advances it’s quite easy to get a hang of

Inconvénients

It’s cheaper than many of the alternatives out there but with that said, you still need to use it with success frequently for the price to be justified

Avantages

100 emails per day on the free plan. Works well for non production systems and for staging environments

Inconvénients

Nothing comes to mind. Works well and comparable to other transactional email services. Increased limits on free tier woudl be nice, but can' complain

Avantages

- API docs to send email are easy to understand.
- We can track the reason why the email was not sent.
- Its more secure

Inconvénients

- When more requests are sent through the same IP address it blocks the IP address.
- Other than this I didn't find any flaw.

Inconvénients

We have not had any issues with this software that I can remember.

Avantages

You can see email activity from send grid portal like email status, bounce emails, fail emails etc.. Portal UI is very clean and easy to understand. Thanks to sendgrid to provide me a lovely tool.

Inconvénients

You need to purchase licence to use sendgrid. Vary good customer support. Value for money. More secury email.

Avantages

As we started to scale websites on our server, we started to see many issues with transactional emails bouncing. After a very quick and easy implementation with SendGrid, email issues are a thing of the past. It was dead simple to set up and now we can track all of the metrics for transactional emails being sent from our server! Such a lifesaver!

Inconvénients

So far, there are absolutely no cons with this software. Email issues were something that was an extremely high priority for us to fix, and SendGrid was that solution and more!

Avantages

Good services and stable delivery of emails. Good UI, customer support is also helpful and efficient

Inconvénients

Documentation could have been a bit better, i had to spend quite a lot of time searching. Prices are also a bit higher as compared to competition.

Avantages

The admin panel is super easy to use. Things get setup quickly. Love the transactional email template builder. SDKs are awesome.

Inconvénients

Pricing is a bit high as compared to AWS SES.

Avantages

Emails do not get into a spam folder. For us, this is a huge deal as other email services were not able to do this on our domain.

Inconvénients

The logging systems seem far too complex. I need to verify with mobile every single time and it gets really time-consuming.

Avantages

they have Good ideas, useful web interface, good api. Prices are ok. That s all.they have Good ideas, useful web interface, good api. Prices are ok. That s all.

Inconvénients

Send via blocked shared IPs (bounces), bad support. We have a problem with a listbombing - they simole closed our account without any support or help. Very long answers on tickets (we are waiting for 24 hours for each answer). Finally don't recommend to use.

Avantages

It performs its function precisely and does it well. I've only ever had a few issues with the platform, but I consider those issues to be standard in an SMTP environment. The flexibility of the whole setup of being able to switch SMTP providers at a given point without tearing up or moving an entire CRM makes this a great starting place. It's much more user friendly than most any other SMTP provider and it absolutely gets the job done.

Inconvénients

I don't love it when compared to the pricing structures of some other platforms, but there are few that do their job with so little user work necessary on the front end.

Avantages

easy to use & lovable software. keep updating to us.!!!

Inconvénients

i don't have nothing to say about Sandgrid. it is just awesome.

Avantages

The most I like is that after registration you can start running your email campaigns.

Inconvénients

I haven't found anything that I dislike, so this is great!

Avantages

- ease of use
- possibility of automatic event trigger which allows different actions

Inconvénients

- testing customization and integration to other developers tools needs is not that quick

Avantages

Sendgrid Lost half my database and will not offer any suggestions as to why. I have asked for escalation of this issue but they refuse to do so.

Inconvénients

Customer support was absolutely unwilling to assistant in resolving a massive loss of contacts. It wasn't significant enough for them to escalate.

Avantages

This service has excellent prices, I'm using the free version and I have 40000 free mail + 300 mail a day to use.
I'm using it to send emails with a small e-commerce and i think that I'm going to stick with the free version.

Inconvénients

When I had to start using the service I encountered some problems during the start guide. it was not so clear where to had their record and i had to ask help to my hosting service support.

Avantages

The reliability and stability of SendGrid is great! Never have any issues sending emails

Inconvénients

Pricing tiers should be a little more flexible or customizable.

Avantages

If you need to send a lot of emails, SendGrid is pretty good acting as the actual "engine" to get it done.

Inconvénients

Just about any features found in current email marketing software are absent in SendGrid. They really missed the boat by not investing in the development of new features. Now they are so far behind that you pretty much have to use an integration with another actual dedicated email marketing platform. This is expensive and a hassle. The reason we use them is because they power our app messaging.

Avantages

One of the advantages of this product is the ease of customizing and creating campaigns that allow me to promote my clients. In addition to making sure that I will not be blacklisted by mass mailings.

Inconvénients

What I did not like about that tool, is that in order for my campaign mail to not fall into SPAM, I had to add several public DNS records to my Internet domain.

Avantages

Has strong advanced features and good reporting and stats on deliverability

Inconvénients

the support is terrible. Very hard to find a way to contact them and the email addresses provided to contact them are no longer active. shocking for a large platform like this.

Avantages

It always serves me for the connection in the emails

Inconvénients

If you do not know about software, it will be difficult for you to integrate it
