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.

It's easy to use and integrate, but I have a problem with messages getting marked as spam
When we use Zoho Campaigns, our emails often get routed to the spam or promotion module instead of the inbox. For example, people who use Gmail to receive our newsletter will often miss it because it was sent to their promotion module or folder. Many of our clients aren't seeing our work. We compared it to another solution, and the open rate was much higher because the emails went directly routed to the inbox.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most valuable feature is the conditions in automation."
"The solution scales well."
"They have pretty good support in terms of any issues."
"It is easy to set up."
"Easy API documentation is the most valuable feature of SendGrid, including its deliverability rate."
"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."
"The solution generates a good return on investment."
"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."
"It is a very reliable and stable tool."
"It's a very simple solution for email."
"Zoho Campaigns is a good software for email marketing."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Campaigns is its ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction."
 

Cons

"The contact limit alerts need to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"The reporting part needs improvement."
"SendGrid is a great solution. I don't have any areas of 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."
"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."
"When we use Zoho Campaigns, our emails often get routed to the spam folder instead of the inbox. For example, people who use Gmail to receive our newsletter will often miss it because it was sent to their spam folder. Many of our clients aren't seeing our work. We compared it to another solution, and the open rate was much higher because the emails went directly to the inbox."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
"The reports are not so clear."
"They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
"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."
"My usage is limited to the basic features."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Zoho Campaigns is cheaper compared to other products."
"The tool is priced less compared to other applications."
"Since the product is part of a bundle, it is definitely very cost-efficient."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Zoho Campaigns is not that expensive as compared to other solutions like MailChimp."
