i am avid user of amazon ses and this i very good software

Amozen ses is cheapest and very good for deliverity in email space. their free tier is also generous and their pricing is very pocket friendly.

setup is complicated especially for newbie, but there are tons of guide on the internet to setting amazon ses.

My experience overall has been extremely positive, the price makes it the best tool out there for sending a lot of emails. Emails land straight in inbox as they should, and the tools to help manage bounces and complaints included are top notch. I'd recommend Amazon SES to anyone who sends a lot of emails.

I like how easy it is to get started with SES as well as how cheap and reliable the service is.

The dashboard takes a bit of getting used to, but it's manageable

It fun way to learn something new and easy to use at times

It does sometimes has it's problem of being slow

I have used SES in multiple projects and it has proven itself to be a reliable service time and time again. The pricing is amazing and whilst you don't get all the bells and whistles other more fully featured services offer it does what it says on the tin. I've used it for multiple different projects utilising both API and SMTP connectivity and both have been solid.

The pricing is amazing for such a great service. The API is well documented and SDKs are available for the most popular languages. If you are integrating with legacy systems where you have no API access and require an MTA to be configured that i also supported. There's a generous free tier available for smaller projects as well (so long as you are using either EC2 or Lambda to integrate).

There's really not much to dislike about SES. A dashboard like Sendgrid provides would be a nice additional option but it's aimed at doing one thing and doing it well.

We have been using SES for transactional as well as marketing(newsletter) email delivery. We love it.

It works, and is cheap. There is nothing of the sort to compete with SES for what it offers

Needs skillful setup as well as administration. Reports are not comprehensive and need SNS knowledge to be able to generate

I used SES to send notifications from a web platform when certain events occurred. We had a 100% success rate and were never disappointed y the product.

- It's easy to configure and implement - It makes sending transactional emails very easy - Costs can be easily forwarded to clients

SES requires technical skills, so only developers can actually access it features, but that's reasonable given the features the product offers.

Amazon SES has helped us cut a lot of costs. As someone who moved from Mailchimp, I can appreciate this pay-as-you-use model. Although you might miss the fancy insights provided by standard email marketing services, integrating Amazon SES into a capable program bridges this gap.

The best thing about Amazon SES is the price. You only pay for what you use, and even with this, it's possible the cheapest solution for bulk emails. The delivery rate is good, and it integrates with most bulk email platforms and programs.

Amazon SES is not exactly easy to set up unless you're a bit tech-savvy. Also, the support is a bit slow when responding to limitation issues. However, once you overcome these hurdles and get it running, the rest is just a piece of cake.

Frustrating at first after buying a course to be able to do the configurations it was excellent to be able to get the potential out of the tool

Very profitable. deliverability is excellent from very efficient smtp. the ability to send emails per minute is super goodthe economics of the service.

technical support is very poor. the documentation sometimes doesn't help.the desktop board is very unfriendly. Configuring the smtp and getting it to production is a big challenge

SES is definitely the place to start if you are in AWS and need to send transcational email. It works very well, email deliverability is good, and the cost is great.

Great API, well priced, and well integrated into the Amazon Web Services ecosystem. Deliverability is good, and dedicated IP pricing is very low.

Support is pretty weak, as with all of AWS. You need to have in-house expertiese to successfully use most AWS services, and SES is no exception. When deliverability is problematic the support team can help but it requires escalation and patience.

My free trial with the Amazon SES is just amazing

The Best thing that it can notify senders of email deliverability issues and suggest for the improvement of the inbox

High price for the new users or new businesses are the most hurdle

I am very happy with Amazon SES. It has been a reliable and cost-effective solution for sending emails at scale. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of other email marketing platforms, it gets the job done and is a great choice for businesses looking for a simple solution for sending transactional or bulk emails.

Setting up Amazon SES is straightforward and the interface is user-friendly. I've found that emails sent through SES have a high delivery rate and have not had any issues with emails going to spam. Affordable compared to other email sending services, especially when sending a large volume of emails.

SES does not have a built-in template system, so you will need to design and code your own email templates.

One of the primary advantages of Amazon SES is its low cost, making it an attractive option for businesses and individuals who need to send large volumes of emails without breaking the bank. The service offers flexible pricing plans based on the number of emails sent, allowing users to scale up or down as needed.

Amazon SES uses various technologies and protocols to help ensure that emails are delivered to recipients' inboxes and not marked as spam. This can be particularly important for businesses that rely on email marketing campaigns to reach customers.

the complexity of setting up and configuring Amazon SES, particularly for those who are not experienced with AWS. This could result in a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with AWS and its various services. Overall it is a good service.

I'm very pleased with SES so far. The free tier is enough for many to get by with, and it's very inexpensive with use beyond that.

Once I got it setup, it has worked perfectly without any continual maintenance. Emails are delivered quickly and don't end up in spam boxes at the recipient end.

It's not entirely straightforward to configure and the instructions aren't very intuitive for beginners. You'll need to set it up a few times for a couple domains to get the hang of it.

Overall best and cheap email campaign service for Marketing/organizations.

Amazon SES is world class service from Amazon that provides mass email campaigns. very cheap to use cost. It is cloud based we no need to worry about infrastructure.Well documented. robust service.

I don't think this is a negative but we need to learn configuration to setup it, which needs little effort to learn.i think they can simplify configuration settings.

If you don't need to track anything with the emails but just have the need to send emails out, this is by far your best choice.

The ability to send emails via SMTP protocol and an API. With the API they can achieve millisecond speeds to send emails. It's very affordable.

Some of the configuration options are a bit complicated and require purchasing other products from AWS.

I used it for email marketing solution, and it works perfectly if you set it right.

It is very cheap compared to other email marketing solutions. It is highly scalable and great if you send large amount of email.

It is hard to deploy and manage. Not very useful for templating emails. There is no queuing solution so that you need to implement your own.

I have used the service earlier around 4 to 5 years, it was profitable to small business, due to cheap marketing plan and all the IPs are very effective

The worst part is the customer service of amazon ses, once they blocked from sending campaign for any reason but when you asked for appropriate reason for blocking account, they just simply used canned response some time you feel that robot are working there instead of human

Compared to other similar solutions Amazon SES has proven to be very reliable while keeping the costs under control.

Very reliable and highly available Handles both transactional and mass email with great delivery rates Easy to maintain a high reputation value Monitoring dashboard Very low pricing, first 62k emails/month are free of charge

In order to maintain a high reputation, Amazon SES enforces a strict verification policy, which can get tricky for non-technical users, of for customer's domains.

SES is very affordable for teams of all sizes

Once, the SES service was hijacked by external intruders and used to send spam. Amazon currently has no way to rotate keys / passwords, and so this creates an extra burden for users

SES is vital to our cloud operations and won't be going anywhere as long as we're running databases.

A managed environment for data is, in my opinion, a must. Turn-key log-based backups and recovery with all necessary features. A good number of database options.

Lacks direct access to the machine so this is limiting as to what can be set on each database. While most things are possible, there's a learning curve to accomplish some more advanced configuration.

I think Amazon provides the cheapest SMTP server, the cost per email is very low as compare to other servers. At the start, I was worried about the reputation of my account but if we follow the rules and use it according to their policy then nothing is better than Amazon SES.

Well, I think this is the best SMTP server with the best features. I never get my emails in spam with amazon SES.

It's a bit difficult to start with Amazon services because they need more technical knowledge and it's hard for a noob like me but in the end, with help of youtube videos, I was able to set it up.

Our product notifications and delivered using SES and our overall experience was good

I have been involved with the process of setting up Amazon SES in the organisation. Our infrastructure is hosted on AWS, hence we decided to go with SES. The delivery rates are great. I think the best part about this is how cost effective it is. You get a robust tool for a low cost budget.

Implementing SES was not as easy as it seems. However, once it is configured, it is quite easy to operate

Amazon SES is easy to setup and use. It has Python and other libraries to integrate it to your project. Sending email in HTML or text is possible and MIME can be used as well. For MIME, it supports different email encodings as well, which is great if you are trying to write something non-latin in mail subject.

Authorization of your domain might take some time, it's not that instant.

We are solving the need of simple, reliable bulk email that scales and delivers with confidence.

Amazon SES is a relatively simple integration despite the need of better documentation, has an very developer-minded logic and allows you to share data to other Amazon AWS services for analytics, monitoring and others. It is the way to go when you want to have bulk email at a fraction of the costs incurred with other competitors. It is extremely reliable and has the Amazon infrastructure to support it. The web console is simple yet provides you with the essentials to monitor the account's health and performance.

Having migrated from Mailgun, I really felt the lack of proper development documentation when you are integrating for the first time. The current documentation is not well organized and lacks the developer friendlyness that you can find with competing products. However, this may have to do with a more general, bulk approach that Amazon focuses on. There are different versions of their APIs in the process of being migrated with the newer version being somewhat limited in features compared to the older one. My recommendation is that you get prepared to read a lot and test as you start to implement. I don't think you will be provided with bleeding edge email developments early but the basics will always be covered with Amazon SES.

Overall the experience has been just great. The service simply works, although it's a little complex the first time to setup but once we get used to it (as with anything else in life), it's a little bit of work that is worth it for the price we pay for.

Price per 1k emails is incredible. As of this writing, we are talking about $0.10 per 1k emails sent, which is really now.

Their support is getting worse. Very recently I had to wait a month until an account from one of our customers was finally approved and then a couple of months later, we had another customer that was rejected for no reason whatsoever and we had to escalate to have it into production.
