Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Amazon SES is very easy to configure.""The best feature is that Amazon SES provides verified email messages.""It is highly available and scalable. It is also highly reliable. I don't lose any of the messages or emails. If there is an issue where the email sent operation failed, Amazon as a platform ensures that the send operation is retried, and the email reaches its destination. This way, it is highly reliable.""We use the tool for transactional emails and marketing.""Amazon SES can handle a high volume of emails, making it suitable for organizations with large email lists or that need to send a large number of emails on a regular basis.""The product is very user-friendly.""There is no need for me to set up security.""The most valuable thing is that emails sent through SES have a delivery rate of greater than ninety percent."

Cons
"I would like to see detailed reports on email success and failure rates.""There is room for improvement in the support. It's just that customer support, though good, takes time to resolve issues.""The only issue is the price, which is far too expensive.""Email service is definitely a requirement from an enterprise standpoint. Many organizations have their own on-premise email services, which take a lot of memory, backup, and other resources. If we can have a completely managed backup solution where we have a tiered backup or a tiered archival to be able to retrieve emails, it would be great. I would like to be able to retrieve emails in real-time (hot retrieval), over the 90-days period (warm retrieval), and over the one-year period (cold retrieval). It would be useful to have tiered backup and retrieval. It would help us in managing emails better and have a better backup solution. So, backup is something that we require.""When we first set up an email on Amazon SES, they had to verify it, which was not fast enough.""The product should improve technical support.""It would be ideal to have detailed data and reporting on email opens, clicks, bounces, and other metrics, as well as integration with other business intelligence tools.""There is room for improvement in the scalability."
