Great if you are worried about deliverability.

What do you like best about the product?
I've used Sendgrid for both marketing and transaction emails. It's less user friendly than other options but it's reliable and I trust their consistency with delivery. If anyone is having issues email delivery I always recommend Sendgrid for an easy solution to remove their headache. It's api means makes integration easy. It's very reasonably priced and would be great for smaller businesses with low budgets if they have a team to get it set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not as user friendly as newsletter programs so I usually only recommend it to larger business or techy teams. The other occasion where I recommend them is if someone has repeatedly had issues with delivery because I think this is where Sendgrid shines. There is a larger setup barrier but this is generally worth it because all this setup means better reliability for your messages and campaigns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email delivery problems! It also has great email marketing features that add confidence that your campaign will be delivered but it's not very user friendly as other newsletter programs.

it is not very accurate for some recipient data, I think that is the only complaint i have about sendgrid but I believe the technical difficulties exist for all vendors.

Starts with going to one of the sendgrid partners and click their link to start trial for extended trials. It can be 60 or 90 days!

For the tech-inclined marketer on a budget

  • December 14, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use considering the amount of flexibility they provide, like custom configuring domains, subusers, subscription groups
Integrates easily with a variety of tools - like SimonData, Zapier, Interact, etc
Template builder produces responsive designs easily & reliably
Support tickets have been thorough, with good service
Low-cost, similar pricing to MailChimp but with a lot more under the hood
What do you dislike about the product?
Compared to marketer-centric ESPs like Mailchimp, not as intuitive to use
Reporting isn't great - they want you to export (eg via API/webhooks). Email activity only stored for 30 days which is problematic for customer service to track down a customer's email history. Basic reports e.g. open/clicks don't seem to work when you toggle to a percentage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy integration with our core platform (Heroku) with a low-cost and high level of flexibility/customisation to suit our business.

Easy to implement transnational emails

  • December 13, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Reliable and robust transaction or promotional emails at a very inexpensive price point.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you run into reputation issues your account is burned, notifications of problems are not sent automatically.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Extremely cheap email at an enterprise scale.

I've also used it for CCTV emails and server correspondence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be mindful that whilst support is provided, it can be a little unhelpful if you run into reputation issues through no fault of your own.
