If a company or individual would like to improve their deliverability and spam rating this is a great tool as you will reach more people and therefore have a better email reputation. You can also test emails to see which content works best which is useful when sending out email campaigns to new prospects that use a range of email account types

I think Sendgrid is a great tool for sending out emails of all types. I've primarily used it for transactional emails as we've had other solutions for marketing emails, but I'm sure it would do just a good job - there is a "Marketing" section within the app you can use. Sendgrid integrates really easily with the development frameworks I've used, such as Laravel and Lumen; I've also integrated it with Moodle with ease.

Pros
  • Improved deliverability
  • Improved email send rate
  • Learning and understanding spam filters
Read full review
  • Drag and drop email designer for transactional emails - super nice even though I do code, it's much quicker and easier to implement without code.
  • Very simple implementation. Only a few lines of code need to be added in our backend and boom we were up and running in less than a day.
  • Listening to customer feedback. They regularly send emails about new features and ask for feedback to improve their software.
  • Some of the cheapest and best dedicated IPs.
  • Easy integration and setup between marketing and transactional emails. Super helpful to have everything in one place.

Cons
  • Less disturbance to mail due to the amount of emails being received in the inbox
Read full review
  • Actually viewing previous emails dispatched. SendGrid does not have this feature - although it provides numbers on emails dispatched within 3 days for the cheapest plan.
  • The service asks you to pay more (although a minimal amount) to have visibility on email activity upto 30 days in the past.
  • The API doesn't allow an export of a report of email activity over a period of time. It can be quite frustrating at times to be limited in this way.
  • Their customer support isn't the best. Certainly some room for improvement there.

It has the potential to be really cool. However, it feels as if it was created by developers for developers (and I work with developers, yet even for me the instrument was somewhat not easy to use - just read SendGrid's help manuals...) However, if you are into data and your way of thinking is more mathematical rather than lyrical, you'll enjoy this instrument

Support Rating
Allegrow's support team is second to none. After spending months back and forth via email correspondences, the pending issue was the direct fault of my email configuration SPF record. All this time spent was cause by me not them. They were kind enough to offer unrelentless support with ample details.They truly and genuinely care about each customer. Don't matter how big or small. One of their reps. is an all star as he held my hand every step of the way.All and all, I highly recommend Allegrow for warming up your domain and IP because their support wont leave you hanging like other services I used before!God bless you guys tremendously!

Twilio SendGrid Email API is everything we want it to be, and we have no reason to look for any other solution. Features and pricing match exactly what we need. As developers for SaaS products, Twilio SendGrid Email API provides a great service. I hope that they stay this way and don't inflate the service with too many marketing oriented features, because there are other tools for that and Twilio SendGrid Email API is a API for sending email first and foremost.

Alternatives Considered
I havent used other Allegrow alternatives. I chose Allegrow because of their lifetime deal on AppSumo and they were the only warm up email services I knew about at the time.

Twilio SendGrid is generally economical and thus can give better ROI compared to competitors and in a short period of time. Twilio SendGrid can be used for mass email campaigns and thus any marketer would prefer that for mass email marketing compared to say Outreach because Outreach is more of a sales tool and suitable for sending lesser emails.
