Overall, a very good experience. Mailgun was definitely a very competent software and tool for dealing with the complex nature of sending out mass marketing emails successfully.

Great API, Super easy to integrate into various types of website / webapp setups.

For a free product this is easy to implement and user friendly.

Very easy to use and works flawlessly. Used it on two projects and it was a pleasure.

I needed a free solution to send transactional emails on wordpress. And Mailgun came as one of the favourites and also they had a good free plan.

This website is​ totally amazing, it provided me with as many​ emails as I want you just have to connect your domain and then name the mails that you want then add it up.

Incredible Deliverability, Clean Platform, Success with MailGun.

We liked the simplicity and set it and forget it nature of the product. We never really ever had to go in and perform maintenance since when we first set up the service on our app a few years back.

Like the fact that it helps your emails avoid Spam filters, which it achieves by ensuring the IP address(s) are clean.

Super pleasant, great chat support, fast email support replies, always quick to help and communicate.

Mailgun has proved superb on improving email deliverability and their logs are super helpful as well, you can track what went wrong if anything. Their interface is easy to use and to the point.

We have achieved great eCPM mailing costs and gained access to higher volume mail to reach our subscribers.

Mailgun was easy to set up... just a few lines of code to integrate, like Stripe for email. Email delivery rates were high too.

The pricing, including the free tier, is much more generous than what you can get with some pricier providers, like SendGrid.

Good pay-as-you-go pricing structure, simple but powerful tools.

The mailing list feature is nice bonus. Management portal was updated recently and vastly improved the UI/UX experience.

Many will complain about high bounce rates or going into spam.

It's super easy to set up inbound routes using specific strings or wildcard matches that will accept mail and forward to multiple different recipients.

I always found their customer service great and the product itself to be fantastic and does exactly what it's supposed to. I just really wish they brought back the routing feature to the free tier.

Solid mail solution with good dashboard and exellent customer support.

However, the IP mailgun assigned me became blacklisted (probably from another sender's abuse) and I became unable to send mail.

No bounces going back so sender. If something bounces, you will never know unless you check the logs(which are only retained for 15 days).

Mailgun says they have automated systems in place that flag up accounts that look suspicious. These systems don't work and then Mailgun will disable your account without even notice or warning.

Easy to deploy, they even have an iOS SDK. I use it to deliver automated emails for my app (welcome emails, password reset, announcements, etc).

Great solution for mail sending from vps providers like AWS.

Is easy to use, has great support and customer care is THE option for email notifications in your App/WebApp.

Absolutely WORST product ever used and support team faced, it's absolutely garbage.

Mailgun is an excellent enterprise solution. It  has been quite stable, and it's user interface makes troubleshooting a breeze.

The service itself is reliable and has the latest bleeding edge features. Their customer support is very effective and can get issues solved promptly.

With 10.000 free emails/month is a super deal for small business. Besides, Mailgun is truly flexible for developers with Webhook Support, API support, SMTP user manager, Email Template Builder.

Overall great value for the free tier, 10.000 emails for free plus great deliverability and integration, great for Wordpress users.

However, the BEST part is they are free up to 10,000 emails a month, which is a ton.

Mailgun is a fantastic way to small startups to get their email solution up and running. It's developer friendly, custiomisable, and initially totally free; all wrapped together in a neat UI.

You can try Mailgun and really use it on your site for free. Great customer support that will treat you well even if you're using free plan and don't know nothing about emails.

Clean UXI for navigating the system, simple set up, clear dashboard to find issues quickly and navigate around the site. Ability to clean database lists to minimize bounce.

Free options for small/startup businesses with reasonable prices for larger companies/projects.

We are more than happy with our deployment of mailgun. It provides a reliable and really reasonably priced service.

I was hoping to be able to jump right in with little to no instruction, but there are a few nuances that I was unaware of in terms of HTML code.

Some parts of the UI are cumbersome and feel stuck in another internet era. Some services can be very pricey if you don't have a subscription.

Segmentation (allowing us to properly split our customers up and target them with appropriate emails). Templates: easy to setup, customize and ensure they look professional.

I am a web developer and their API is fantastic to use. It is easy and straightforward.

The custom HTML email editing is a pain, you can't actually edit the HTML in the platform, so you've got to constantly upload, test, and re-upload changes.

Campaign monitor cares about the look and feel, as well as the performance of their platform. The way contacts/subscribers/lists are managed is one of my favorite features.

As such, lists often run into negative numbers after I delete them.

I love that campaign monitor has two ways of creating emails, either uploading custom HTML or using their in-house email builder.

The ease of use is by far the best thing about Campaign Monitor. No background in coding or HTML.

Campaign Monitor allowed us to send our monthly newsletter with ease. This brought in an abundance of new business for the company and helped to grow revenue.

Also, no way to tell the difference between hard bounces, which makes it impossible to automate deactivation of contacts in Salesforce.

It has some nice built in engagement segments (wish they were customizeable), and a decent set of basic integration capabilities. For the price, it does ok.

Excellent customer service -- a human picks up the phone when you call and works with you to creatively solve problems, if you use the Premier tier.

If your business thrives from email traffic then I definitely recommend upgrading to the highest-paid tier account: Premier to gain the best results.

It's easy to use and has some great features like you can import your plain text right from your html in CM.

Best of all is the truly responsive customer service. Sarah was particularly helpful and accommodating when I really needed her help.

The biggest problem that I've been having lately is trying to send a preview email to myself...it never seems to work on a Friday.

Campaign Monitor had everything our company was looking for and more. We like that you can use their template or bring in your own.

You will love Campaign Monitor is you're a developer/designer because you have a lot more advanced customizations and features to play with.

It seems like they are favored in terms of integrations with popular software so that is a plus. Overall I like the feel of the style on the template library and deliberately was perfect each time.

What I like most about Campaign Monitor is it's ease of use. Very easy to put together emails to go out to our data base.

I love being able to personalize and monitor email campaigns. I love being able to track the results of my email marketing efforts.

It's style  editor is quite clunky to use and the visual results one can obtain feel fairly limited.
