Amazon SES

Vorteile

I do like it's ability to integrate well with other AWS services like Lambda, SNS, and CloudWatch, making automation and monitoring easy.

Nachteile

While SES provides some email metrics, more advanced analytics (like click tracking) require integration with external services like Amazon Pinpoint or third-party tools.

Vorteile

This software provider low pricing for bulk email and handel a small to large email volumes.

Nachteile

I need approval for production use in this.

Vorteile

No complaints, high capability and respected platform.

Nachteile

If you are a simple user and want a quick easy solution there are better options out there.

Vorteile

Sending email without getting spam is best thing about this.

Nachteile

Little bit setup becomes hard for this and price is little high.

Vorteile

Price per 1k emails is incredible. As of this writing, we are talking about $0.10 per 1k emails sent, which is really now.

Nachteile

Their support is getting worse. Very recently I had to wait a month until an account from one of our customers was finally approved and then a couple of months later, we had another customer that was rejected for no reason whatsoever and we had to escalate to have it into production.

Vorteile

Amazon ses has a really good prive tonuse It for mail marketing and intégrate It with other softwares

It's not really easy to set Up, but the support works fine.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Amazon SES

Vorteile

The most thing I like about Amazon SES is that it's high deliverability rate, ensuring that emails reach recipients inboxes without being marked as spam.

Nachteile

One common compliant about Amazon SES is it's complex setup process and lack of users friendly interface.
Some users find it difficult to navigate the platform and set up their email campaigns, leading to frustration and confusion.

Vorteile

Amazon SES offers reliable email delivery with high scalability and strong integration with AWS services at a cost-effective price.

Nachteile

Amazon SES has a complex setup with strict email-sending policies, and achieving high deliverability requires careful configuration and monitoring.

Vorteile

Kind of friendly and easy to use to it's people.

Nachteile

The redemption of their cards into cash is not acceptable

Vorteile

Integrates well with the rest of AWS services and has high deliverability rates. It was easy to set up, though I have not tried the advanced features yet.

Nachteile

Initially you are sandboxed and have to apply to have this removed manually. It's quick, however!

Vorteile

The Best thing that it can notify senders of email deliverability issues and suggest for the improvement of the inbox

Nachteile

High price for the new users or new businesses are the most hurdle

Vorteile

Amazon SES uses various technologies and protocols to help ensure that emails are delivered to recipients' inboxes and not marked as spam. This can be particularly important for businesses that rely on email marketing campaigns to reach customers.

Nachteile

the complexity of setting up and configuring Amazon SES, particularly for those who are not experienced with AWS. This could result in a steep learning curve for users who are not familiar with AWS and its various services. Overall it is a good service.

Vorteile

We light how easy it is to setup credentials for our email addresses and send them out. For example, we needed a process which bulk emails many of our insureds and needed a way to easily do this through python.

We previously had a self hosted email server we were using but wanted to upgrade to something cloud based and secure.

Nachteile

One issue we have had was that we would like to be able to store a copy of the messages we send. We are required to save copies of outbound communications for some of the messaging and we have to get around this by using an email account as an 'archive email'. Nothing major but just something that has come up.

Vorteile

Amazon Simple Email Service is a great way to set up and send out automated emails associated with an application you have deployed on the cloud. It provides a comprehensive API that lets you design and send your email out in any way, and works very fast to send out large amounts of emails. The price associated with sending out emails is very reasonable as well.

Nachteile

Amazon SES can be quite complicated to set up and integrate in to an existing application for someone who is not familiar with its concepts. Any email address that you plan to send emails from must go through a verification process which could take a while.

Vorteile

this is probably the most inexpensive yet reliable bulk email tool out there in the market and competes head to head with mailchimp and others.
aws ses is the classic case of set and forget, where once you are configured then you are good to go, no need for maintenance.

Nachteile

very limited service regions would be the biggest con.
there is an initial limitation on how many emails you can send before you get approved

Vorteile

The price is just the best feature along with its deliverability. You can authenticate your domains and email in a simple way.

Nachteile

The support is as slow as it can be. It's really annoying to have to ask permission for everything and be under investigation for every email blast you send.

Vorteile

Amazon SES is super straightforward and cheap. You can set it up in no time and it just works. At first your sending limits might be limited but once you have built your reputation and they go up you can send big batches of emails easily. We use it for our marketing automation suites and for our operational messages.

Nachteile

Reporting is a little more difficult to setup. It works with other products from Amazon and just isnt as straightforward.

Vorteile

Setting up Amazon SES is straightforward and the interface is user-friendly. I've found that emails sent through SES have a high delivery rate and have not had any issues with emails going to spam. Affordable compared to other email sending services, especially when sending a large volume of emails.

Nachteile

SES does not have a built-in template system, so you will need to design and code your own email templates.

Its very reliable and stable, Ive used ir for many apps along with the Amazon suite and I highly recommend it. Ive never had issues with sending emails.

Nachteile

The only issue Ive had is that you need to create a support ticket to disable sandbox and enable production and increase the sending quote. It would be easier to do so without creating tickets.

Vorteile

Straightforward service; very cost effective for low/medium volumes of email

Nachteile

Doesn't have as many features as some competitors; AWS permission policies can be a little cumbersome to work with

Vorteile

Once I got it setup, it has worked perfectly without any continual maintenance. Emails are delivered quickly and don't end up in spam boxes at the recipient end.

Nachteile

It's not entirely straightforward to configure and the instructions aren't very intuitive for beginners. You'll need to set it up a few times for a couple domains to get the hang of it.

Vorteile

The ability to send emails via SMTP protocol and an API. With the API they can achieve millisecond speeds to send emails. It's very affordable.

Nachteile

Some of the configuration options are a bit complicated and require purchasing other products from AWS.

Vorteile

I have found it's very effective and being able to monitor your mailing activities. I enjoy that it sends out email notifications and you only pay for what you use. Amazon SES is much cheaper than other solutions. It has an easy setup and only costs a few dollars per month.

Nachteile

I found that it's not so easy to navigate around the menus, I wish they were more intuitive. There are initial sandbox limits are too low for a production application

Vorteile

Well, I think this is the best SMTP server with the best features. I never get my emails in spam with amazon SES.

Nachteile

It's a bit difficult to start with Amazon services because they need more technical knowledge and it's hard for a noob like me but in the end, with help of youtube videos, I was able to set it up.

Vorteile

I integrate Sendy email marketing app (a script) with Amazon SES to do more complicated email marketing management such as automation, rules, and so forth. I like Amazon SES because I don't need to pay recurring and pay what I send. Deliverability is decent, not the best but I don't argue because it's really the most affordable way to do so.

Nachteile

The initial set-up requires some patience, tinkering and you even need an external app to increase its functionality. However, its price is unbeatable.

Vorteile

Amazon SES makes a determined email marketing assistance for companies, and it saves on communications costs.

Nachteile

Amazon SES is impressive and makes no operational mistake.

Vorteile

This application really help me with my emails, when I have the need to monitor or check my email on a daily basis, this platform helps me. Because of this even I can reach out to Amazon whenever I want because they it gives answers and access to answers too.

Nachteile

Nothing at all for me. This application is very helpful, let's say you have problem with them, because of this application you will know how to reach them and it will give you answer right away.

Vorteile

The deployment of Amazon SES has been so easy.
I also like the effectiveness of the interface and features of Amazon SES.

Nachteile

Amazon SES potrays simplicity.
I do not dislike Amazon SES.

Vorteile

I'm always in the know of services that they have available and if I'm eligible, and I'm always updated about Prime membership, and more.

Nachteile

Honestly I do not have a problem with Amazon SES

Vorteile

Able to use it for mass marketing emails and email authentication.

Nachteile

Can’t say because I’m so glad it is based on the cloud and it allows me to manage inbound and outbound mail effectively

Vorteile

Bulk email, email management and email marketing

Nachteile

It need IT expertise to use it. So, for uneducated is not suitabla

Vorteile

Great API, well priced, and well integrated into the Amazon Web Services ecosystem. Deliverability is good, and dedicated IP pricing is very low.

Nachteile

Support is pretty weak, as with all of AWS. You need to have in-house expertiese to successfully use most AWS services, and SES is no exception. When deliverability is problematic the support team can help but it requires escalation and patience.

Vorteile

FAST, USER FRIENDLY AND EFFECTIVE BUSINESS TOOL

Nachteile

I DONT HAVE A CON FOR THE SOFTWARE NOW AS ENJOY USING IT

Vorteile

Everybody knows Amazon, it is a tool that we can believe. Reliable and scalable infrastructure

Nachteile

Just strict sending limits for new accounts

Vorteile

Easy to set up and use, also a quick learning curve for myself

Nachteile

The Amazon interface is not something I prefer

Vorteile

Cost Friendly, Easy to use, List Management, Reporting, Housekeeping Features, High Deliverability, Bulk Emails

Nachteile

Incorrect Analytics at times & lack of automation capabilities

Vorteile

I really like this software and the possibilities that are present.

Nachteile

At the moment I dind't find any cons with this software

Vorteile

It fun way to learn something new and easy to use at times

Nachteile

It does sometimes has it's problem of being slow

Vorteile

Three features are most impactful to my business.
1 - The service is very affordable, this helps preserve budget.
2 - Arguably this is one of the most reliable email solutions I've used.
3 - The automated suppression list helps my business maintain a positive email reputation (so my email messages don't go to junk).
Also, I should mention their support was great, and the odd time I felt I needed to reach out, they've exceeded my expectations.
Additionally, scaling up (if needed) it easy to do as well, so I know this can grow with my business.

Nachteile

One thing I thought could be improved was the allowed size of each email message was too small. However, Amazon SES provides a form where you can request to be able to relay email that's up to 10MB each (and it's super easy to request and receive).

Vorteile

Amazon SES is a relatively simple integration despite the need of better documentation, has an very developer-minded logic and allows you to share data to other Amazon AWS services for analytics, monitoring and others. It is the way to go when you want to have bulk email at a fraction of the costs incurred with other competitors. It is extremely reliable and has the Amazon infrastructure to support it.

The web console is simple yet provides you with the essentials to monitor the account's health and performance.

Nachteile

Having migrated from Mailgun, I really felt the lack of proper development documentation when you are integrating for the first time. The current documentation is not well organized and lacks the developer friendlyness that you can find with competing products. However, this may have to do with a more general, bulk approach that Amazon focuses on. There are different versions of their APIs in the process of being migrated with the newer version being somewhat limited in features compared to the older one.

My recommendation is that you get prepared to read a lot and test as you start to implement.

I don't think you will be provided with bleeding edge email developments early but the basics will always be covered with Amazon SES.

The pricing is amazing for such a great service. The API is well documented and SDKs are available for the most popular languages. If you are integrating with legacy systems where you have no API access and require an MTA to be configured that i also supported. There's a generous free tier available for smaller projects as well (so long as you are using either EC2 or Lambda to integrate).

Nachteile

There's really not much to dislike about SES. A dashboard like Sendgrid provides would be a nice additional option but it's aimed at doing one thing and doing it well.

The best thing about Amazon SES is the price. You only pay for what you use, and even with this, it's possible the cheapest solution for bulk emails. The delivery rate is good, and it integrates with most bulk email platforms and programs.

Nachteile

Amazon SES is not exactly easy to set up unless you're a bit tech-savvy. Also, the support is a bit slow when responding to limitation issues. However, once you overcome these hurdles and get it running, the rest is just a piece of cake.

Vorteile

We have been using Amazon SES service right from the initial stages of our product journey. It is extremely reliable and has never failed us. I like the fact that we can track the emails sent, I use it for a lot of purposes. It has always been fast and robust, a must use. The best part of it being very cheap.

Nachteile

The implementation is not very fast, it did take a bit of time. But once you are up and running, it does not require a lot of maintenance.

Vorteile

One of the biggest things about this program that I absolutely love is the fact that you are only charged for what you used. That alone makes Amazon SES great in my book because I know that I am only paying for the features that I have used over the period of time. It's also very flexible in connecting to various other software/programs etc.

Nachteile

It can be a bit tricky to figure out how to use the backend for those who are not tech-savvy. As a result, I think that might be something that they can try to improve a little bit. But other than that I'd say it's pretty impressive.
