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.

Saves server load by sending bulk email notifications efficiently
The best feature SendGrid offers is the ability to send multiple emails at the same time. The ability to send multiple emails at the same time helps my workflow and organization because I do not have to run a loop every time. Once I set all the emails in a comma separator, I can send them to multiple users without creating too much load on my server. SendGrid has positively impacted my organization by solving the notification problem. By using SendGrid, I can easily send notifications to users, and it is simple to use in my Node.js project. SendGrid has helped with notifications because when I send an email, the user knows who is sending it and they can revert back to our CRM team. That is positive for our business and organization.

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."
"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."
"Mailgun is cheap, secure, fast, and simple."
"Overall, it provides a good return on investment through reliability, time savings, and improved communication."
"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."
"White-listed mail which avoids spam on mail services like Gmail and Yahoo."
"The best features SendGrid offers is the template customization, which really helps in creating templates according to client demand and their UI/UX experience."
"SendGrid is a most powerful third-party tool to use for email sending, and it improves the delivery rates compared to other services."
"SendGrid provides the best analytics a competent postmaster needs."
"Since switching to SendGrid, I have seen that time is saved, and the trust of the portals like Gmail and Outlook ensures the emails are received quickly with minimum failure, which increases the business."
"Easy API documentation is the most valuable feature of SendGrid, including its deliverability rate."
 

Cons

"The filters could be more efficient."
"Preview of email as sent - currently, the preview is an image."
"The solution needs better templating and email validation."
"Mailgun doesn't have this."
"A long time ago, I may have had an issue, and I had to wait for support, which wasn't that helpful. However, that was a very long time ago. Overall, I've had a good experience."
"So, don't think that you could do anything with SendGrid on email matters."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login."
"SendGrid has room for improvement in the UI/UX or dashboard usability for users. Another area for improvement in the tool is its conditional logic facilities. The response time of SendGrid technical support needs improvement."
"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."
"SendGrid can be improved by making it more versatile and facilitating easier connections with third parties."
"I would prefer an easy plugin for Linux mail installation."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login. For certain people, SendGrid requires MFA, which is good as a security feature, but it doesn't always work in all geographies. We've got people and users who are based in Nigeria, and some of those people had real trouble logging into SendGrid because the MFA wouldn't send codes to people on their numbers. The security mechanism that they use for login doesn't work in all geographies."

"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."

"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."
"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
