Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Pricing is the best in the market. I am not an expert in email marketing, but the analytics are perfect for me. It is easy to use and set up. The template editor is excellent. Cheap pricing and works well.
  • - It works pretty well even in the free version. - It is simple to use. - The reports provided are simple to understand. - The emails look professional. I love it. - I can see how many subscribers opened my emails and how often the links are used.
  • I started using EmailOctopus to send email to my SaaS customers. It is super user friendly. I have never user one of these email marketing services before and even so I could setup my first campaign in a little time. The templates are just perfect. It is tottaly professional. Everything that you need to use it is easily find in the website.
  • - Free features that are paid in other competitors - Good for Small business - If you need to scale, the price is really good compared to other options - Excellent customer support. I just use the free version and as a newbie, - I had a setup problem my email in the WebHost. The support helps me in a few minutes. Everything is free. It was a real person in the support.
  • I found EmailOctopus when looking for a cheaper alternative to Mailchimp. For now what I need is free, and if I do need to upgrade later it will be less than 1/2 what Mailchimp is. It is very user friendly, I have had no problem importing contacts and setting up/ sending emails, even though I have never used one of these email services before. I love how professional my emails look! I have also been able to easily find answers to all the questions I have had on their site. I love that I can look and see how many of my emails have been opened and how often the links are being used.

Cons

  • I do not have any cons yet. It is working perfectly for me.
  • The interface when you are setting up your email could be better. But it is ok to use.
  • No cons till now. Everything works correctly and It has been easy to use.
  • There are just a few email templates available in the free version.
  • No cons so far, everything has been easy and looks amazing.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Ok, thanks for the opportunity, be honest, these are my feedback after useing, please check below. first pro: 80% successful rate to find right email. second pro: most of time input first name and family name with company website, i can find right email.
  • Emails actually get delivered unlike some other email marketing services and transactional email services we were using prior to SendGrid.
  • Almost nothing. The system is too barebones, can't put emojis in emails, very little actual customization, other platforms are much better.
  • I did like that the software was easy to use. It had a very user-friendly interface and made things easy to navigate through. Uploading contacts was a streamlined process.
  • Sendgrid allows our company to send updates to a vast array of consumers through email. The credentials built through Sendgrid software allow our emails to not end up in the Junk Folder.

Cons

  • First con: if a person has many job positions at different companies, you only can obtain the first company information and existing person emails. Second con: it can't link with more social channels, like Twitter or Instagram and can't grab email in pictures and PDF files, also many information shows in Google but can't be found here. Third con: RocketReach can find the right email but usually GetEmail can't. Fourth con: the cost is high for monthly, and can't get free credits most of times. That's all the cons I found, i have been using this tool for more than one and a half years, anyway, thank you very much, hope your team can improve and do better.
  • No cons for our use cases. Does everything we need it to do.
  • First of all the service didn't work. The campaigns wouldn't be sent at all and I had to call customer support. EVERY TIME. And it would take time, hours DAYS, every time. So we lost a lot in proper campaign timing, leads would get cold. We lost ROI there.
  • I didn't like that their shared IP still got bad ratings. I used a few of their competitors before this, and was getting much better open rates using the same emails on the other platforms.
  • I needed a lot of help setting up my account. It would be helpful to have a more user-friendly set up.
