SendGrid - Best Email API for sending marketing emails

Commentaires : I use SendGrid for sending communication and marketing emails to thousands of customers every day. Sending close to 100,000 emails per month and the quality of service is quite good. Must say I am happy to use SendGrid.

Avantages :

The best thing about using the SendGrid Email API was the performance measured in terms of email deliverability and server uptime. The dashboard provides good insights with respect to number of emails sent, delivered and opened. Thus helps a great deal in improving marketing campaigns. From the deployment point of view, the integration of SendGrid with the existing email service was quite easy and can be completed easily without great efforts.

Inconvénients :

As far as technical aspects are concerned, there is nothing which I don't like. On the pricing front, would like to add my views. Currently, the pricing plans are available as Free (100 emails per day), Essentials and Pro. The Essentials plan starts from 14.95$ per month for upto 40,000 emails a month and the Pro starts at 89.95$ per month. These plans are good for small and medium size websites. Would be good to see if a new Basic plan is introduced for a low starting price of 4.95$ per month and offering upto 10,000 emails a month. Such a plan would be highly suitable for extra small website applications who have a limited customer base.

Pourquoi passer à SendGrid : Going by various product reviews and comparing the various plans offered by different vendors, we decided to select SendGrid as the best choice for our email requirements.

Sending SaaS emails through the service is the best option.

Commentaires : Minimal running costs and the minimal need for application development make the API cost-effective. Even as a simple SMTP gateway, the API can perform many functions. These include distribution results and bounce information, which make the proper operation possible. MTA SaaS services are made possible by the original. It is used to display messages from the service provider and notify the public of upcoming announcements. Nowadays it is difficult to operate with an original because it could be used by malicious third parties as a spam pass-through. However, it can operate securely if appropriate security measures and patches are applied frequently. Using the SendGrid service frees business owners from work they cannot control.

Avantages :

With the sub-user functions and the ability to manage each distribution case, it is easy to confirm the rate and track each delivery in the dashboard. In addition, it is easy to ensure bounce time records and investigate why mail was not delivered from the dashboard. This is because each case has a dedicated distribution manager that can perform distribution management in each case. It is advisable to confirm delivery with a tracking code, but it is also possible to check mail confirmation without any further action. This process can be completed quickly with any of the services offered.

Inconvénients :

Since the records of previous bounces disappear when searching, I want to extend the logging period a bit. To extract the data through webhooks, making a request each time is necessary.

An excellent platform for email marketing experience.

Inconvénients :

Yet countries in the world are banned in this company.

The worst customer support ever

Commentaires : I had sendgrid free, then I upgraded to the basic. After the shared IP has been blocked many times due to spam, I decided to go to a dedicated IP address. $89/month (really expensive for the service). I send around 500 emails/day for my learners. The server wasn't sending it, it was sending only 100 emails. as it had a limit of requests. I tried to contact their support service and it was terrible, no help at all. Then, I added some of my IPs to the whitelist, unfortunately I had to change my home IP and I got blocked from sendgrid, after over 2 weeks trying to access it and adding IP, they haven't helped me or given me a proper reply. Not only I could not send emails, I cant access my account, neither I can cancel.
I had ti sign up with Amazon SES, and now my life is great! Terrible support, the worst so far, cant even cancel and get a refund =/

Avantages :

Free trial easy api integration cheap and good user interface

Inconvénients :

terrible support expensive hard to talk to someone

Reliable accelerator for our email marketing operations.

Commentaires : My team and I have found Sendgrid to be incredibly helpful in delivering a large volume of emails while also providing real-time metrics on the engagement level of our campaigns. Additionally, SendGrid's unique email features and functionalities have enabled us to effectively manage and monitor our email marketing campaigns, ensuring that we promptly reach our targeted audiences.

Avantages :

I am impressed with the scalability of Sendgrid. Regardless of the size of our email list, we can test this tool with ease, and the delivery is always prompt without any delay. One of the best things about Twilio is the ability to customize emails conveniently. Additionally, SendGrid provides a vast range of integration options that have proven to be useful for integrating with the essential tools we use for our operations. This integration has enabled us to exchange data between SendGrid and third-party tools, which has strengthened the quality of our email marketing campaigns. Moreover, the detailed analytics provided by SendGrid have been invaluable in enabling us to continuously improve on our email campaigns.

Inconvénients :

In my experience, Sendgrid falls short in terms of leveraging the vast email capabilities of SendGrid due to the technical expertise required to set up and configure its API. The process of setting up or configuring SendGrid's API typically requires a level of programming knowledge that has been a hindrance for non-technical members of my team. As a result, they cannot fully utilize the SendGrid platform without the assistance of technically proficient team members or colleagues from the engineering department.
