Do any humans work at this company?? short-sided way of treating customers
What do you like best about the product?
nothing... I ran a campaign... and it shut down AS I was sending...
no explanation... no report...
I used their own blog post which shows links to check the status of your website
and mine passed with no issues...
so still confused why this happened... and what the decision was based on.

What do you dislike about the product?
Obnoxious company culture... no humanity
No transparency with their decisions...
rude, cold way of interrupting service...
no one has replied to my complaint, despite trying to reach them a few times
and this kind of behaviour will not have it impact their business?

Recommendations to others considering the product:
they will let you waste hours building out a campaign... only to run it and then close your account with absolutely no explanation. no one will even respond to you.
Easy, fuss-free experience. Superb API support.
What do you like best about the product?
Very intuitive UX that is a pleasure to use, marketing campaigns are a breeze to create with their high quality templates. Node.js documentation (and I daresay for the rest of the sdks) are well-written and concise, making it easy to integrate.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything to nitpick. This is a very well designed product.

EDMs used to be cumbersome to send and manage, sendgrid has made it such a pleasure that I now I can't wait to send my marketing emails!.
Great ESP
What do you like best about the product?
Integrates well with other email and marketing platforms

Nothing really...the customer service is solid and the send rate is decent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The cost is reasonable and it integrates will with OfficeAutoPilot
Fast, Effective, Reliable Email Delivery
What do you like best about the product?
We use the API to create a separation of concerns between our various environments. SendGrid makes it fast and easy for us. No more email servers. No more headaches.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be challenging to get up and running on a new system. Not unique to SendGrid. Most solutions require a little bit of onramp time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Email delivery and the elimination of maintenance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't manage your own email servers, use an API driven solution like SendGrid.
Best email marketing tool I have used so far.
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, effective and responsive emails. I have been getting better deliverability since making the switch.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t always receive my test emails for some reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Campaign emails for new developments, leads directly to showings and sales
Reasonable service
What do you like best about the product?
Getting setup and running was a smooth and seamless process. We switched over from Mandrill after they decided to combine the product with MailChimp and increase pricing. SendGrid even offered a similar plan with free credits to make the switch a no-brainer. Soon after we started paying for an account due to increased Email sending. However from the first level to the next is a big price increase for a small business getting started.
Being a small niche SaaS product and having the white labelling functionality is great, helps out customers trust in us more which is a huge benefit.
Tracking covers a lot of statuses which is great at an overview, however there is also times where this is inaccurate.
We use the SendGrid API as well as SMTP and found it super simple to setup with a number of libraries available and good documentation.

What do you dislike about the product?
There hasn't been too much to dislike at this point.
We have had some minor problems with SMTP timeouts from time to time but they normally recover after a few minutes, not really ideal for some of our messages.
Support can be slow to respond to questions from time to time.
Had issues with shared IPs being blacklisted and being at the mercy of SendGrid to resolve or pay the huge jump in price for a small business getting started without funding to get a dedicated IPs and a Pro account.
Needing to have a PRO account for sub user management.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We allow our customers to craft their own internal emails to send to their own employees using the API and also send app based transactional emails using SMTP relay.
Simple to use - but lacks advanced customization
What do you like best about the product?
Drag and drop features make it very simple to use
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customization - e.g. social media buttons look outdated, and the column setup doesn't allow a huge amount of adaptability
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our whole structure is modeled around a solid email list, and Sendgrid allows us to hit these lists accurately
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sendgrid is great, but I'd like to see some more customization options - I've seen some features that MailChimp have that would be cool in Sendgrid
Easy to use, not the best sendability.
What do you like best about the product?
Sendgrid is very easy to set up via API token.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sendability is less than ideal for use cases outside of transactional emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had to overcome gmail's email send limit. This tool solved that problem readily.
SendGrid transactional/marketing email service

The user friendliness of the UI is outstanding, reliable& stable service, plenty of tools for customization, well documented API, excellent deliverability, great tools for import, edit, name, rename, segmentating contact lists, great automation unsubscribers management, excellent email campaign building logics.

We have SAAS ERP solution. We use Sendgrid for two different purposes:
1. Our system is using sendgrid transactional mail sevice (Through sendgrid API) for sending emails on behalf of our subscribers for various needs (invoice sending for example) .
2. We use the marketing campaign system directly, through user interface, by importing lead lists and creating campaigns for them based on segments to improve ctr and conversion rates.
