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.
Manav Sharma - PeerSpot reviewer
A good software for email marketing that integrates well with other third-party software, but its UI should be improved
I have found two or three issues with Zoho Campaigns. If we add any email content, Zoho Campaigns takes a lot of time to review by the back end. Two years back, a client set up Zoom Campaigns, and the lead was not entered into the campaign. The flow and everything else was fine, but entering the journey or the campaign took time. My company lost a customer because it took two weeks to review the emails we entered into that content. Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging. So that's why people have started moving to Zoho marketing automation instead of Zoho Campaigns. Zoho Campaigns should include immediate sync for the deals model because it's still not there. Whenever a lead is entered, it is immediately synced, but there is no immediate sync for the deals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is easy to set up."
"Easy API documentation is the most valuable feature of SendGrid, including its deliverability rate."
"They have pretty good support in terms of any issues."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The solution scales well."
"The most valuable feature is the conditions in automation."
"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."
"We can merge Zoho Campaigns with Zoho CRM and other applications. I think automation is the best feature of the product because it reduces manual inputs. It will work automatically and generate reports."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution generates a good return on investment."
"Zoho Campaigns is a great product. It's easy to use. Zoho Campaigns is integrated with my CRM, so I can see everything happening within my company from the dashboard. I can manage and group my contacts and automate reporting. I enjoy checking on the metrics for my campaign. It also gives me the option of linking with Google Analytics, but I like Azure analytics better."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Putting the campaigns together on Zoho is reasonably straightforward. They have a little campaign builder tool that works very well as long as you don't want the campaign to be too sophisticated."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Campaigns is its ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction."
"Zoho Campaigns is a good software for email marketing."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."
"SendGrid is a great solution. I don't have any areas of improvement."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"The contact limit alerts need to be improved."
"The reporting part needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
"They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
"The reports are not so clear."
"The support team takes a while to respond to our request."
"I would like the product to include a feature that shows website traffic similar to Mailchimp. I would also like to get user and customer activity on the website so that we can easily set campaigns according to customer interest."
"It takes a lot of work to get it set up the way you want. It's not an intuitive product. It takes coding work to get the sales process to work. That setup process could be simplified significantly."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The basic plan starts at €90 per month."
"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."
"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."
"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
"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."
"Since the product is part of a bundle, it is definitely very cost-efficient."
"Zoho Campaigns is not that expensive as compared to other solutions like MailChimp."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We have an enterprise license for this because we use Zoho for lots of things. We have HR and a bunch of other things. We probably don't pay individually for marketing or sales, and it's all in the overall license that we have."
"Zoho Campaigns is cheaper compared to other products."
"The tool is priced less compared to other applications."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
