Twilio SendGrid Email API is for sending transactional emails like password reset, payment related and order related. So whenever our users place an order on our web application an email is sent to the user regarding the order and delivery information. We can easily create dynamic templates using handlebar templating language and push the data through Sendgrid API and our data is automatically rendered on the template. Email sent through SendGrid API is delivered instantly to our users and we have never faced any delivery issue with Sendgrid API.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wanted reliable transactional emails to reach our customers inboxes while making sure our email sending was monitored effectively to protect our IP and Domain reputation.

Sendgrid is providing a similar set of features from other transactional email providers at a premium cost compared to other providers. We get good access to download historical data to use in our own app, and they have a clean, limited functional dashboard.

Where they failed is when we did get exploited when someone hijacked our email script. The exploiter was able to send off more than 400K in emails through our mailscript before any protections kicked in by Sendmail. Our account typically delivers 1000 transactional emails a day, so for any type of reputation protection kick in until 4000 X our daily average went out within 3 hours means they really don't provide any reputation protection. Once they did finally stop queuing the emails, they were unable to remove the emails that had made it through (but not sent yet) to their deferral queue. So we were stuck for the next 72 hours while their servers tried to send spam emails under our account (350k of them) domain. Even though we knew they were bad emails and were already identified. So our IP reputation went from a perfect 100% to 20% over 4 days. Now most of our emails go to junk and we have to start with a brand new IP and rebuild our reputation over the next 6 months.

Sendgrid told us it was our responsibility to monitor traffic and that they had notification tools (which we had implemented but didn't notify us of the unusual traffic until it was too late - very limited notification like "you've reached 50% of your monthly quota". Pretty useless when this notification gets sent at 2am on a Sunday).

In short, they do not have the capabilities nor consider it their responsibility to protect your IP or Domain reputation.

1. They do not stop a send attack until your reputation has been damaged beyond rehabilitation (pausing sending emails at 10X our daily average to wait for our approval would have stopped this issue immediately).
2. They have no way to stop emails in their deferral queue even though they have been identified as fraudulent (we watched at these known emails took our rep down from 55% to 20% even though we knew they needed to be deleted).
3. They do not see this as their responsibility.

Almost all other transactional mail service providers have the ability to add in hard caps to daily email limits and much quicker technical triggers to catch unusual sending activity (most would have caught it before 10000 emails were sent from our IP, instead of waiting until 400000 were queued and sent).

Recommendations to others considering the product:

The API is easy to implement and the data export and reporting are clear and useful. The help documentation is weak. The monitoring to protect your IP and Domain Reputation is non-existent so you better make sure you eliminate any exploits possible to your endpoints that access your sendgrid account. Sendgrid does not have the self service monitoring tools to effectively identify and/or stop an attack before the damage to your reputation has been done.

What do you like best about the product?

I used SendGrid to send out emails and register users on my personal website. It's great for notifying your customers.

What do you dislike about the product?

The setup and configuration took me some time as I had to install the API library that SendGrid provided for my web application.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Registering new users to my website, sending out notifications to engage users and send them back to my website

What do you like best about the product?

Their stats page. It was very informative and gave various insights. Their support was very responsive and they actually accept that the fault is from their side and compensate it even from their end. The panel is easy to set up and they guide you with everything if you're new to email marketing.

What do you dislike about the product?

Their IP pool, really annoying to deal with it and they push you to buy their dedicated IP which costs way more because it is included in a plan. For a price tag, they actually throw on you this is unacceptable. When requested to change your IP for better deliverablty they refused it saying it is automated. I've proved their IP is blacklisted and yet they refuse to change their IP and try to push a product when the solution should've been given automatically considering you're paying 100$+ a month.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not really solved anything. Trying to move away from it now.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It has a huge price tag. If you're a small business and totally dependent on email marketing go for it. But you will have to work hard to keep the reputation up since you will have to work on your dedicated IP address. You're basically paying huge bucks for them while they do nothing since you're going to build IP reputation along with a domain reputation (If it's a fresh domain). Rethink twice if you're sure you want to take this approach

What do you like best about the product?

It is incredibly easy to set up and API and integrate it into whatever platform, service, or application you're using.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would like to see more options for email marketing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to set up email integrations for client websites.
