Featured Reviews

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.
Matheus Ferraz - PeerSpot reviewer
CRM Team Leader at a tech company with 201-500 employees
A very reliable and stable tool that can be used to manage campaigns
When we contact support, sometimes it takes two to three days or even more to get a satisfying answer. It is time-consuming. I'm not sure if it's because of the high demand that the team has to support. At some point, it seemed to me that they were not prepared. I've been using support for three years. I noticed some changes. Support used to be more personal. Suddenly, it is like we have no direct contact with the team. We could not reach them through chats. We can reach them only through emails. I could see that they were trying to be automated in the way they provide customer service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, it provides a good return on investment through reliability, time savings, and improved communication."
"SendGrid is a most powerful third-party tool to use for email sending, and it improves the delivery rates compared to other services."
"The most valuable feature is the conditions in automation."
"With SendGrid, we have found a perfect solution to that scenario, and we don't have to involve infrastructure team anymore."
"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."
"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."
"SendGrid provides the best analytics a competent postmaster needs."
"The API configuration is much cleaner in SendGrid."
"It's a very simple solution for email."
"The solution generates a good return on investment."
"We can merge Zoho Campaigns with Zoho CRM and other applications. I think automation is the best feature of the product because it reduces manual inputs. It will work automatically and generate reports."
"The solution is very inexpensive and very reasonably priced."
"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."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Campaigns is its ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction."
 

Cons

"The documentation is not fine, so I believe the documentation needs to be improved."
"SendGrid has documentation that is not up to date, and their support team is the worst."
"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."
"They are backlogged on feature requests, which is a bit of a shame really."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"SendGrid can be improved by making it more versatile and facilitating easier connections with third parties."
"If you don't really have an advanced subscription for SendGrid, it might take a while for you to reach the customer support."
"Pricing can be improved for SendGrid, as this is the only area I have seen that needs enhancement."
"I would like the product to include a feature that shows website traffic similar to Mailchimp. I would also like to get user and customer activity on the website so that we can easily set campaigns according to customer interest."
"They could get better at dealing with spam. They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
"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."
"The emails were going to spam a lot despite us making various changes, and it appeared to be more because it was being sent from Zoho than anything else."
"My usage is limited to the basic features."
"The reports are not so clear."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
"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."
"The solution is relatively inexpensive."
"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."
"The basic plan starts at €90 per month."
"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 price is reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
"The tool is priced less compared to other applications."
