Reliable and Scalable Marketing and Transactional email capabilities

  • September 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All-in one transactional and marketing email solution that appeals to both developers and marketers. Easy to integrate API triggers into external sites / apps and also easy to integrate with 3rd party marketing stack providers. Full suite of solutions from managing marketing lists to creating campaigns or transactional triggers. Category-based transactional reporting gives me lots of flexibility in how to roll up /aggregate reporting data. Robust activity exports out to other marketing stack tools for open / click / send based segments.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see reporting developed out even further. e.g. more robust report data export options, more ways to slice and dice and analyze reporting data from the UI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrating a multi-layer marketing stack that leverages disparate data sources and tools to create a unified and robust customer communications and marketing platform. Great value for cost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider how your data is managed, overlay your internal processes for setting up, creating and measuring campaigns. Consider taking in the SendGrid open / click export data as it is valuable to have and use in ways that you can't always do within the campaign UI. Think about how your programs divide up between marketing and transactional and which platform you will mail from. For example, I manage all our data in Simon Data and use SendGrid's transactional platform for both marketing and transactional emails but I have dedicated IPs for each message type.

I like the UI of SendGrid. We use the API to send out emails to our clients. It's simple to see email activity and bounce reasons.

Solid, reliable and easy to setup system

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is really nice and for marketing, the drag an drop features whilst allowing for code editing in the section is fantastic! This is the first time I have seen in done like this.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the pay walls are a pain, e.g. 3 day transaction history. You need at least 14 days and I am not happy that there are not more bulk email options only 40k and 100k.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For us we started using sendgrid just for API sends, but after realising the ease of use for marketing, we migrated from another provider to sendgrid, now all of our emails come from a single source and we like that.

It is more time efficient and saves costs.

What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of configuration when integrating SendGrid with our in-house or 3rd party applications. In addition to that, SendGrid has proper Feedback loops set up, which allows us to scale our operations accordingly.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to really get the answers you need when you need them with send grid because their UI has so much available to it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use SendGrid to send emails from various 3rd party and in-house platforms that require an SMTP server in order to work. SendGrid has great Feedback loops set up and this allows us to scale our email campaigns accordingly.
