Featured Reviews

Marketing Specialist at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives
It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports. It also sent out a couple of emails between November and December twice. I don't know how you'd deal with the false positives thing, but certainly sending out emails more than once should be fixable, and a really good team of UI guys could probably make some headway with the difficulty in actually publishing reports and the like.
Amrit Dash - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
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.
