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.

It provides a mix of communication channels. I have never seen downtime.
It provides a great mix of communication channels We have a better process of customer engagement because of the better open rate of our marketing newsletters. It could have a little better usability to get started working with SendPulse, so people could onboard faster and start working faster.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to set up."
"SendGrid is a very good, reliable system for handling multiple or high-volume emails."
"Overall, my experience with SendGrid is quite good; I have used it in a couple of my projects and everything is smooth, from integration to sending emails; the only aspect I have mentioned several times during this interaction is the pricing."
"Easy API documentation is the most valuable feature of SendGrid, including its deliverability rate."
"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."
"My integration team likes that it's very easy to integrate and very easy to automate based on activities that happen on our core banking application."
"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."
"Setup was very easy, really good platform."
"The email resend feature alone made this product worth the money."
"The drag-and-drop email builder is the most valuable feature."
"We have a better process of customer engagement because of the better open rate of our marketing newsletters."
 

Cons

"SendGrid has documentation that is not up to date, and their support team is the worst."
"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."
"They are backlogged on feature requests, which is a bit of a shame really."
"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."
"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."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login."
"SendGrid could improve pricing flexibility and offer more detailed analytics without extra cost."
"The contact limit alerts need to be improved."
"Would be great if deliverability % would be better."
"It could have a little better usability to get started working with SendPulse, so people could onboard faster and start working faster."
"I would like to see more integration with other apps and browsers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The basic plan starts at €90 per month."
"The solution is relatively inexpensive."
"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
