Featured Reviews

it_user241752 - PeerSpot reviewer
Marketing Specialist at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives
It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports. It also sent out a couple of emails between November and December twice. I don't know how you'd deal with the false positives thing, but certainly sending out emails more than once should be fixable, and a really good team of UI guys could probably make some headway with the difficulty in actually publishing reports and the like.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The analytics were the most valuable part, although they returned a lot of false positives from the remote configurations of email servers we hit."
"It enables the quick creation of email templates, and also tracks valuable metrics."
"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."
"White-listed mail which avoids spam on mail services like Gmail and Yahoo."
"SendGrid offers features that stand out for me, including that it is very easy to use, especially for a developer."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Their REST API feature is the most amazing and easy API I have used."
"Since switching to SendGrid, I have seen that time is saved, and the trust of the portals like Gmail and Outlook ensures the emails are received quickly with minimum failure, which increases the business."
"Easy API documentation is the most valuable feature of SendGrid, including its deliverability rate."
"It does everything we need. It's got templating. It's got email validation. It's great."
 

Cons

"It was not particularly user friendly in setting up the emails, managing the lists, or publishing reports."
"The drag and drop templates are great, but sometimes they cause HTML errors that require diagnosing the problem within individual lines of code."
"They are very bad at supporting clients."
"SendGrid has room for improvement in the UI/UX or dashboard usability for users. Another area for improvement in the tool is its conditional logic facilities. The response time of SendGrid technical support needs improvement."
"The documentation is not fine, so I believe the documentation needs to be improved."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login."
"A long time ago, I may have had an issue, and I had to wait for support, which wasn't that helpful. However, that was a very long time ago. Overall, I've had a good experience."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"SendGrid has positively impacted my organization as we moved to it from our own email servers, though it also gives us less control over everything."
"So, don't think that you could do anything with SendGrid on email matters."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"The basic plan starts at €90 per month."
"We are using the Advanced plan,10K. That is about $100 per month but sometimes we do go over the limit of the plan."
"Its cost can vary. It can go as low as $10 or $15 to $1,000 depending on how much you use it."
