A Cost-Effective Solution for High-Volume Email Sending

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Newbie starting out

So far there is nothing truly bad that I can state.

PROS

The pros are that there are a number of people that one can contact if they run into any issues. I appreciated the system that is built within AMAZON. If one person can not assist they have an immediate person to contact

CONS

The cons - that not just one person can assist you, if you get the wrong person you will be bouncing around till you do.

Great value for monet

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reasons for switching to Amazon SES

Amazon SES is a lot cheaper.

Very cheap but hard to set up

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

PROS

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

CONS

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
