Seamless email communication improves cost-effectiveness and security with valuable tracking features
The features of Amazon WorkMail that I have found the most valuable so far include sending emails and tracking whether the email is read or not. I find the feature that checks how many emails have been successfully sent and how many of them have been opened very useful, because in our application, we know the usage of the emails. 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. The encryption meets my expectations.

A scalable and easy-to-use solution that has a good user interface and a responsive support team
The product had a couple of bugs. However, the vendor resolved the bugs quickly. People wanting to use the solution must try it out. If they like it, they can switch it on. I have seen and tried many other products. ZeptoMail is pretty easy and straightforward. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"There is no need for me to set up security."
"It is very stable. I haven't faced any issues."
"Amazon WorkMail integrates with Route 53 and other AWS services, providing a seamless experience when using AWS infrastructure."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable thing is that emails sent through SES have a delivery rate of greater than ninety percent."
"The most valuable feature of the Amazon WorkMail for me is the SMC server. It makes my work much easier, especially since I often work with Spring Boot. There are many built-in APIs in Spring Boot that help with messaging. What I appreciate about it is that it simplifies the process. I don't need to write much code; I define the credentials in my properties or environment variables. The Java Message API, an internal API from Spring Boot, does most of the work. I set up the properties and connected them to the SMC server, and I can send emails."
"Amazon SES is very easy to configure."
"The user interface is valuable to me."
 

Cons

"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."
"Amazon WorkMail's user interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly."
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates."
"The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive."
"The solution is quite low-level and lacks some advanced features. For example, it doesn't provide tracking capabilities, such as knowing how many users opened an email, which is crucial for email marketing. You would need to integrate these analytics with other tools to get them. I need to know if there has been a bounce and how customers interacted with the email."
"There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues."
"WorkMail is not available in all the regions."
"We had some minor bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"WorkMail does require a license, it is, per user."
"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."
"The solution is the cheapest in the market."
