No Yahoo
What do you like best about the product?
It was easy to attach as a plug in to Wordpress
What do you dislike about the product?
It was slow and they forced you into bad IP pools when you start. The more you paid, the better IP pools you were put in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was trying to set up notifications out of the back end of Wordpress, so interested parties would know when a user completed a form. Realized zero benefits
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you don't have to send notifications to yahoo users, because SendGrid notifications will bounce

Works great
What do you like best about the product?
Great option for sending emails from a variety of services. I use the wordpress and microsoft flow integrations.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can sometimes be difficult to login as I set it up through Azure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our problem was that we often need to send transactional emails as a part of other workflows. We've benefited from a solid platform with good deliverability
Does Its Job
What do you like best about the product?
Sendgrid is appropriate for what we use it for.
What do you dislike about the product?
It seems to have some issues with spam filters frequently, which ends up giving our email addresses bad spam ratings otherwise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use sendgrid to send confirmation emails after they purchase a product from us. As I mentioned, it merely does its job.
Send Grid is Great!
What do you like best about the product?
When it comes to SendGrid, I like the user interface and the contact management.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing really I particularly dislike about SendGrid.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SendGrid benefits our marketing efforts by allowing us to track our click through and open rate. It also allows us to manage our unsubscribes effectively.
Great API for sending transactional emails
What do you like best about the product?
We currently use SendGrid for our transactional emails as well as our marketing emails (they recently added the marketing piece). It is flawless for transactional emails. I really like that I can have templates and edit them directly on the SendGrid site and then pass in whatever data I want via API when sending the emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
The marketing email tools are still being fleshed out. I'm not complaining about them, but the email editing tools aren't anywhere near as easy to use as Mailchimp's editor. I'm optimistic for it, though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to jump in and send out emails to customers who are already customers, who opted in to marketing emails during a purchase. I'd have to plug that data in to a different service and have disparate data if I didn't use SendGrid for marketing as well, since we're already using them for transactional emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep in mind it is still growing up and will continue to improve over time. SendGrid is a great company who's come a long way since their inception. They already have the best-in-class transaction email sending so they know how to send email that arrives successfully, so jumping on board here is a smart move.
Simple solution, huge time saver
What do you like best about the product?
We use SendGrid because it integrates well with MailPoet's Wordpress plugin. Our newsletters are now automated, and that is an amazing feeling.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've had no problems with SendGrid or its integration with MailPoet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management - Now our team is able to focus on other projects, rather than spending valuable time laboring over weekly newsletter emails.
Excellent email marketing Platform!!!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the navigation and ease of use as well as the customer service that tells you exactly how to operate this software solution. I found the platform to allow me to learn quickly as the layout is logical. The price is very competitive and also the solution allows most companies to run a whitelabel service on it if you have more than 1 client if you are an agency. The reporting part of the software is very detailed and can provide a great level of intel for you and your clients. So outstanding and also A/B testing can be very useful when trying to learn the best way to target your customers. I would ty this platform first before any other and you will see how easy it is to use and benefit from.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found very little things to dislike about this product. If anything I would like the system to be able to integrate with certain CRM systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving my problems by using this software to communicate effectively with their brilliant level of authentication that allows more emails to get through to the intended recipient using DKIM settings and so forth. Also the cost again provided me with a platform that would fit in with my budgets that other systems would be too expensive to do.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Highly recommend this platform as it will change and streamline your emailing workload.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Not user friendly, not working smoothly. It looks like there are a lot technical issues, a lot of bugs;
- Not show custom fields for manual upload;
- It is hard to manage the contacts: when you delete a list, the contacts are still there;
- Can only create 100 lists/account. Not enough for segmentation;
- Sometimes can't get test emails although it shows they are being successfully sent out ???

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just start using the SendGrid. But its templates work good now.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a lot of lists/segmentations, don't use SendGrid. You can just create up to 100 lists in one account.
Great platform
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is set up for any user type to be able to load and send content to customers and prospects without being a professional user.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly isnt much I didnt like, so I cant really answer this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communicating with a larger audience instead of the personal 1 on 1 emails
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, you'll love engaging a larger audience bringing yourself a higher response.
Robust email service for marketing lists
What do you like best about the product?
Sendgrid is a reliable email service that consistently gets your emails to your customers' inboxes. For marketing lists it is somewhat lax on bounce limits, and shows how 'healthy' your email list is in real time. Stats provided in real time are informative and show crucial info such as open rates, click-through rates, and soft/hard bounces.
What do you dislike about the product?
While services provided are good, this is a pricey option, offset by a good free starter plan. If you have too high a bounce rate, you will be sorted into a sending server that has more of a chance to land in the spam folder when sending emails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefits realized is the level of information provided after each email campaign. I am better equipped to perform a/b analysis and work on improving each email campaign based on the the open and click-through rates.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While sendgrid has a way to manage marketing campaigns, the api can be integrated into other software to still utilize the email sending capabilities, but manage the marketing campaign with a third party.
