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.…

"We have a better process of customer engagement because of the better open rate of our marketing newsletters."

"Setup was very easy, really good platform."

"The email resend feature alone made this product worth the money."

Cons

"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."

"Pricing can be improved for SendGrid, as this is the only area I have seen that needs enhancement."

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

"The contact limit alerts need to be improved."

"The documentation is not fine, so I believe the documentation needs to be improved."

"So, don't think that you could do anything with SendGrid on email matters."

"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."

More SendGrid cons

"It could have a little better usability to get started working with SendPulse, so people could onboard faster and start working faster."

"Would be great if deliverability % would be better."

"I would like to see more integration with other apps and browsers."

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

"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."

"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."
