Centralized email accounts have streamlined routing, security checks, and long-term organization
While using Amazon WorkMail over time, I haven't encountered substantial disappointments, but there have been usual glitches with the web interface. For instance, while the service is generally 99.5% perfect, I experience issues like the folder structure I set up sometimes not remembering the state of expanded and collapsed nodes after refreshing the page. This lack of persistence in which nodes are collapsed or opened can be frustrating. However, since it's a minor technical issue, I doubt the average user would notice it. If Amazon WorkMail were not discontinuing, I wouldn't think there is much to improve or enhance about it. It is standard enough and easy to use, and any glitches are minor, not worth evolving or disrupting its current functionality. As for whether the user interface is intuitive and if I'm satisfied with its flexibility and customizability, there are some minor features lacking, but I don't feel a need for changes since it works as designed. The most crucial aspect is that I can set up my address book with the complex organizational structure needed for the accounts connecting to AWS. The lower-level functionalities suit me well enough. Other services often have customizable views of email representations with senders, subjects, and even snippets of content. While my external application on mobile can show customizable lines with my email list, Amazon WorkMail does not offer that feature. I don't really need it, but it would be a nice addition for power users.

Cost effective communication solution that has added value to our projects by facilitating automated and ad hoc customer communication
Reporting for this solution could be improved. For example, when you run A/B tests or MVT tests with multiple variants, then it is difficult to get a consolidated report. There are limitations on how to use the automation. The sending of messages could be more transactional as it is only possible to synchronize one per day.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The encryption of emails, both in transit and at rest, has benefited our security strategy as it is a layer of security that provides us better confidence for customers and also internally tracks the security aspects."
"It is highly available and scalable. It is also highly reliable. I don't lose any of the messages or emails. If there is an issue where the email sent operation failed, Amazon as a platform ensures that the send operation is retried, and the email reaches its destination. This way, it is highly reliable."
"It is very stable. I haven't faced any issues."
"Amazon SES is very easy to configure."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"Despite being an end-user service on AWS, the backend is complex enough to enable many useful features, I invested time in configuring it, and it worked flawlessly for six years."
"There is no need for me to set up security."
"We use the tool for transactional emails and marketing."
"We use this solution for user onboarding via email automation and to send out product update newsletters, and we also use it to send out maintenance messages or ad hoc communication focused on a specific topic."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues."
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates."
"WorkMail is not available in all the regions."
"Now, I'm not very happy because they are discontinuing the service, and I will have to find a new one to migrate everything, including all my filters and routing rules."
"If we can have a completely managed backup solution where we have a tiered backup or a tiered archival to be able to retrieve emails, it would be great."
"It would be nice if they had a what you say is what you get editor to build newsletters like MailChimp has."
"It would be ideal to have detailed data and reporting on email opens, clicks, bounces, and other metrics, as well as integration with other business intelligence tools."
"When we first set up an email on Amazon SES, they had to verify it, which was not fast enough."
"Reporting for this solution could be improved. For example, when you run A/B tests or MVT tests with multiple variants, then it is difficult to get a consolidated report."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's very cheap. The cheapest among all the services available."
"I rate the solution's pricing as one out of ten. It is close to being cheap. Sometimes, the tool offers a generous amount of free messages, up to 40,000, which is great for startups like ours. This means that we don't accumulate any costs for some months because we stay within the free usage tier. When we exceed the free allocation, the costs are reasonable, and no hidden charges exist."
"The solution should improve its price."
"WorkMail does require a license, it is, per user."
"This solution is more cost effective than MailChimp."
