A solid option in the sending emails game.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Good IP reputation. Easy to user interface that gives robust access to logs. Reasonable pricing makes it hard to beat

Cons:

No easy way to do mass unsubscribe actions. Makes sense but there are times where a receiving party's email server goes on a unsubscribe spree.

Great software, become part of my routine

An excellent service that despite the somewhat difficult initial curve in understanding all the functions and how to get the most out of it then really becomes a well-structured service with all the necessary functions to control and manage the sending of e-mails.

Pros:

I really like the ease of use, for various projects I have found it easy to implement for sending emails to confirm the user. I also find the dashboard for managing the mailings and controlling the mailings very good.

Cons:

As a cons I would have preferred a better explanation of how to use the service, I have to admit that it is a very good service but for some functions it was rather difficult to understand how to use it.

Ensuring Message Delivery With Ease

Very positive experience with SendGrid given the ease of standing up the integration and validating that the messaging workflows were enabled.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The ability to quickly and easily integrate the corporate marketing platform into SendGrid to enable campaigns and help ensure message delivery.

Cons:

Configuration was easy and straightforward. But, if the individual tasked with integrating and implementing SendGrid does not have DNS experience they will need to rely on their DNS administrator to complete the configuration.

Pros:

cheap unless you want support, then you have to pay a lot extra and it is not worth it. They can not setup anything correct and can't help fix their mistakes.

Cons:

charges extra for support, they are terrible at following up and setting up accounts correctly. Only support option is chat and they purposely wait 2-4 minutes between each response.

Pros:

Cons:

Without warning, they shut down their system, and then there is no one to resolve the issue. No phone number to call, their help chat bot does not have any ability to restore service to paying customers

Good Email Service

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

SendGrid allows an interface for non-technical people at my company. They provide a lot of pre-made templates and designs that are modern and perfect for our marketing team.

Cons:

I am still having issues making a new account as a teammate on Sendgrid. Their user ecosystem is quite messy. You can log in through sendgrid but then itll make you log in through twilio depending on the type of account you have. I still haven't been able to be a teammate under a different admin account in sendgrid.

Works well, maybe a few fixes

It’s solid. It takes a little time to get used to some quirks, but once it’s set up, it works well. Good tool for transactional emails and templates.

Pros:

It gets the job done. Email delivery is reliable, and the dynamic template system is flexible once you get the hang of it.

Cons:

Sometimes I have to double-save when editing dynamic templates, which can be a bit annoying. It feels like the changes don’t always stick the first time.
