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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives from the remote configurations of email servers we hit."
"It enables the quick creation of email templates, and also tracks valuable metrics."
"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."
"It does everything we need. It's got templating. It's got email validation. It's great."
"They enable us to automate all the communication with our clients around commercial campaigns, marketing activities, and also during transactional tasks, basically, any transaction that happens on the account."
"The valuable features include email capabilities, among other offerings."
"Their REST API feature is the most amazing and easy API I have used."
"SendGrid is a very good, reliable system for handling multiple or high-volume emails."
"The best features SendGrid offers is the template customization, which really helps in creating templates according to client demand and their UI/UX experience."
"SendGrid offers features that stand out for me, including that it is very easy to use, especially for a developer."
 

Cons

"It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports."
"The drag and drop templates are great, but sometimes they cause HTML errors that require diagnosing the problem within individual lines of code."
"I forgot my password, and when I tried to log in, it indicated that a reset link was sent to my email, but I did not receive it."
"SendGrid has positively impacted my organization as we moved to it from our own email servers, though it also gives us less control over everything."
"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."
"SendGrid can be improved by making it more versatile and facilitating easier connections with third parties."
"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."
"I would prefer an easy plugin for Linux mail installation."
"They are very bad at supporting clients."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login."

"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."
