Featured Reviews

Marketing Specialist at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives
It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports. It also sent out a couple of emails between November and December twice. I don't know how you'd deal with the false positives thing, but certainly sending out emails more than once should be fixable, and a really good team of UI guys could probably make some headway with the difficulty in actually publishing reports and the like.
Amrit Dash - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
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

"The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives from the remote configurations of email servers we hit."
"It enables the quick creation of email templates, and also tracks valuable metrics."
"Their REST API feature is the most amazing and easy API I have used."
"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."
"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."
"The API configuration is much cleaner in SendGrid."
"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."
"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."
"White-listed mail which avoids spam on mail services like Gmail and Yahoo."
"With SendGrid, we have found a perfect solution to that scenario, and we don't have to involve infrastructure team anymore."
 

Cons

"It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports."
"The drag and drop templates are great, but sometimes they cause HTML errors that require diagnosing the problem within individual lines of code."
"For my use case, SendGrid is very good. The cost could potentially be improved, though I am not very familiar with pricing details."
"SendGrid is a great solution. I don't have any areas of improvement."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"SendGrid can be improved by making it more versatile and facilitating easier connections with third parties."
"They are very bad at supporting clients."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login."
"I forgot my password, and when I tried to log in, it indicated that a reset link was sent to my email, but I did not receive it."
"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."

"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 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."
