Featured Reviews

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.
Matheus Ferraz - PeerSpot reviewer
CRM Team Leader at a tech company with 201-500 employees
A very reliable and stable tool that can be used to manage campaigns
When we contact support, sometimes it takes two to three days or even more to get a satisfying answer. It is time-consuming. I'm not sure if it's because of the high demand that the team has to support. At some point, it seemed to me that they were not prepared. I've been using support for three years. I noticed some changes. Support used to be more personal. Suddenly, it is like we have no direct contact with the team. We could not reach them through chats. We can reach them only through emails. I could see that they were trying to be automated in the way they provide customer service.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have pretty good support in terms of any issues."
"The valuable features include email capabilities, among other offerings."
"SendGrid is a very good, reliable system for handling multiple or high-volume emails."
"The API side of things is valuable. It is flexible enough to handle pretty much anything that needs to be done in an automated manner."
"With SendGrid, we have found a perfect solution to that scenario, and we don't have to involve infrastructure team anymore."
"Overall, it provides a good return on investment through reliability, time savings, and improved communication."
"I use SendGrid for sending marketing emails and confirmation emails from our web pages."
"The most valuable feature is the conditions in automation."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The out-of-the-box integration with all the other Zoho applications is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It’s a very easy product to use, you do not need to be tech savvy or a whizz at email marketing."
"We can merge Zoho Campaigns with Zoho CRM and other applications. I think automation is the best feature of the product because it reduces manual inputs. It will work automatically and generate reports."
"Zoho Campaigns is a good software for email marketing."
"It is a very reliable and stable tool."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Campaigns is its ability to set up chain campaigns depending on the user's reaction."
"The solution generates a good return on investment."
 

Cons

"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
"SendGrid is already nice, but it could be improved by providing the company ID when sending the email."
"The biggest problem that we have faced is with the authentication during login. For certain people, SendGrid requires MFA, which is good as a security feature, but it doesn't always work in all geographies. We've got people and users who are based in Nigeria, and some of those people had real trouble logging into SendGrid because the MFA wouldn't send codes to people on their numbers. The security mechanism that they use for login doesn't work in all geographies."
"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."
"Maybe they could have a mobile application to give to admins, so they could see some insights related to the data."
"Pricing can be improved for SendGrid, as this is the only area I have seen that needs enhancement."
"I forgot my password, and when I tried to log in, it indicated that a reset link was sent to my email, but I did not receive it."
"SendGrid is a great solution. I don't have any areas of improvement."
"There is room for improvement with integration with other applications like MailChimp."
"When we use Zoho Campaigns, our emails often get routed to the spam folder instead of the inbox. For example, people who use Gmail to receive our newsletter will often miss it because it was sent to their spam folder. Many of our clients aren't seeing our work. We compared it to another solution, and the open rate was much higher because the emails went directly to the inbox."
"Zoho Campaigns has to improve its UI because sometimes it won't load the campaigns, and the software is a little lagging."
"The support team takes a while to respond to our request."
"They could get better at dealing with spam. They need to improve their anti-spam capabilities."
"The emails were going to spam a lot despite us making various changes, and it appeared to be more because it was being sent from Zoho than anything else."
"It takes a lot of work to get it set up the way you want. It's not an intuitive product. It takes coding work to get the sales process to work. That setup process could be simplified significantly."
"Its deliverability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"The solution is relatively inexpensive."
"The tool is priced less compared to other applications."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"There are additional charges, like whenever I add additional users, I need to pay extra."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"Zoho Campaigns is cheaper compared to other products."
"Since the product is part of a bundle, it is definitely very cost-efficient."
"We have an enterprise license for this because we use Zoho for lots of things. We have HR and a bunch of other things. We probably don't pay individually for marketing or sales, and it's all in the overall license that we have."
"Zoho Campaigns is not that expensive as compared to other solutions like MailChimp."
