The filters could be more efficient but the reports are clear and precise.
The filters could be more efficient. For example, when I send a campaign, I usually send it again seven days later. Sometimes, I update the database of emails in-between these mailings, and therefore, I have to re-enter all the filters of the first mailing, and it can take a very long time depending of the campaign.

Dynamic templates have streamlined student and parent email campaigns and build consistent engagement
The activity log is a little slower at times, but that is probably just nitpicking an issue. Overall, in general, there are not really very difficult pain points. There are certain issues sometimes when we are trying to handle a very big campaign; we might end up having a little bit less reputation in terms of bounces or spam reports that get detected when we send out the emails. Apart from that, there is not anything that would become a significant pain point. If you don't really have an advanced subscription for SendGrid, it might take a while for you to reach the customer support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Most of the time, the reports show that SendinBlue is really efficient."
"It's a very easy product to set up."
"Mailgun is cheap, secure, fast, and simple."
"I haven't been required to pay yet because they give me 10k free emails per month, so for medium emails, it's the best choice."
"The API side of things is valuable. It is flexible enough to handle pretty much anything that needs to be done in an automated manner."
"They have pretty good support in terms of any issues."
"The API configuration is much cleaner in SendGrid."
"SendGrid is a very good, reliable system for handling multiple or high-volume emails."
"Easy API documentation is the most valuable feature of SendGrid, including its deliverability rate."
"They enable us to automate all the communication with our clients around commercial campaigns, marketing activities, and also during transactional tasks, basically, any transaction that happens on the account."
"In my experience, the best features SendGrid offers include the dashboard, which is very nice to review if emails were delivered or if something was wrong."
"The solution scales well."
 

Cons

"The filters could be more efficient."
"Preview of email as sent - currently, the preview is an image."
"Mailgun doesn't have this."
"The solution needs better templating and email validation."
"I would prefer an easy plugin for Linux mail installation."
"SendGrid is a great solution. I don't have any areas of improvement."
"SendGrid is already nice, but it could be improved by providing the company ID when sending the email."
"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."
"SendGrid could improve pricing flexibility and offer more detailed analytics without extra cost."
"So, don't think that you could do anything with SendGrid on email matters."
"The contact limit alerts need to be improved."
"SendGrid has positively impacted my organization as we moved to it from our own email servers, though it also gives us less control over everything."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."

"I use the essential plan which is $20 a month. After that, we use the pro which is $90 a month, and had all our costs bundled in."
"My company pays for SendGrid monthly, and though I cannot share the amount, my feedback is that the vendor should accept other modes of payment apart from a credit card."
"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
