Communication Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees

The editor itself needs improvements, but we can communicate in a more engaging way.

Customer Service: It's very high. Technical Support: It's very high. A good example is that they're always keen on helping - I had some problems with the system and they were there with me all the time until the problem was solved. So I can say their customer service is top level.

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.

Pros

"Customer Service: It's very high. Technical Support: It's very high. A good example is that they're always keen on helping - I had some problems with the system and they were there with me all the time until the problem was solved."

"We were able to send, to our potential clients, a mail proposal and follow who is clicking and reading what in order to prepare additional customized and adjusted offers according to their interest."

"With SendGrid, we have found a perfect solution to that scenario, and we don't have to involve infrastructure team anymore."

"It is easy to set up."

"Easy API documentation is the most valuable feature of SendGrid, including its deliverability rate."

"SendGrid offers features that stand out for me, including that it is very easy to use, especially for a developer."

"It is a stable and scalable solution."

"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."

"SendGrid is a most powerful third-party tool to use for email sending, and it improves the delivery rates compared to other services."

More SendGrid pros

Cons

"We tried using IT as a survey tool, but at that time the feature was new and did not offer as much functionality as for example Google spreadsheets."

"The editor itself, as it is sometimes a bit complicated to find the features you need."

"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."

"SendGrid is a great solution. I don't have any areas of improvement."

"The reporting part needs improvement."

"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."

"For my use case, SendGrid is very good. The cost could potentially be improved, though I am not very familiar with pricing details."

"They are backlogged on feature requests, which is a bit of a shame really."

"Customer Service: 4/5. Technical Support: 3/5."

"SendGrid is already nice, but it could be improved by providing the company ID when sending the email."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"The solution is relatively inexpensive."

"The basic plan starts at €90 per month."

"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
