It's very straightforward to set up, but you have to be technical to do it.
The HTML templating functionality was the most important feature/reason for us to move to their service. A must in today’s customer contact environment, but the out of the box analytics have also been very valuable. In a customer service environment, it is imperative to know that the customer is receiving the message, and in a timely manner.
Rastu Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Clean and simple to use with good integration capabilities
There are lots of things that are quite good with SendGrid as compared to other platforms. For example, it is very easy to set up, and it is very clean and simple to use. The email integration is fairly easy, and I can say it is reliable. It also allows you to implement services from other platforms as well. So you can have multiple things in a single place. We're using the API. They provide certain add-ons, like Azure add-ons. You can connect with Azure as well. They have decent support in terms of any issues. They have a nice dashboard as well. It gives almost all information in a single place, and it is scalable.
