What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

Our IT dept made the switch to Amazon SES about 1.5 years ago. Because SES we use to run tests and figure out email issues in the marketing department, which is not our job. It became our job when we saw low engagement. With SES we haven't brought up any issues with IT for a very long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

There are no dislikes; the best an email-sending service can do is deliver emails every time and fast. Marketer concentrating on email messaging is how we can best send our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) solving and how is that benefiting you?

With our previous email delivery service, there was one problem after another which the marketing department had to deal with, delaying our newsletters and update emails. It's been over a year since we talked about email delivery in my department; seamless service is the best service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

I like the fast email delivery, identity protection, and handling the spam, bounce and reports from customers. SES service is very straightforward to integrate as well using the AWS SDK. They also have good security features; in case of a credential breach, if someone tries to send a lot of spam using that credential, they take immediate actions, which helps the users safeguard their domain score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

I don't like the SES API reporting; in case of a credential breach, one can not access the Sent email logs as there is no feature; you need to guess how your credentials were breached and what email they are sending using that. So AWS SES should provide a way to see the Sent email logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Any application needs an email service to send the transaction emails to their users, for ex: registration confirmation email, OTP email, Order confirmation email, etc., and SES helps us to schedule the emails via API and delivers them to the users quickly. It's easy to integrate in any language as they provide the SDK for all common languages like PHP, Python Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the one thing I dislike but that also for the first time is Upgrading Sandbox env to Prod env in SES. like I applied many times for SES Prod access but was rejected, but finally now after lots of rejection, it's upgraded. thanks to AWS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) solving and how is that benefiting you?

SES is giving me many benefits, from sending bulk emails to my clients/customers to customizing the template with MJML templates, pretty nice, also it's hosted in AWS, so have not to manage all the operation stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

We are using SES to send internal reports within organisation, we can send 50000 of mails free of cost per month l, later on at very minimal cost. Easy to setup, it will provide an endpoint for a particular region and username/ password and that's it. Just need to intergate with any language with credentials and ready to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

Once we had some security breach, that time Amazon blocked our email service with some suggestions / changes, we did that changes right away after reporting, but it still took 72 hours to restart this service from Amazon side. Then we changed our email provider. We didn't wanted to see this down time again in future. Even that was good, but after changes it should start our service within few hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were just using SES to send our reports within organisation, because we were not in need to send huge number of emails and it's also free of cost upto 50k mail per month,so we prefered it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

Amazon SES can be integrated with with any services to send email or alerts , SES is very useful for setting up triggered email within minutes just by registering senders email address with SES service.

SES can be used in variety of use cases like delivering business critical or any other service critical real time email to respective authority.

It is super easy to implement SES with python code too, a user can integrate it easily using boto3 library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

Lack of debugging is one thing which I expect more in simple email service by Amazon. For triggering an email using ses a user needs to register the email address with ses service but in case if a user doesn't register the email address and try to sends email the email will not get triggerd , SES will not show any error too in this case leaving the end user clue less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon SES is solving the problem of email delivering at high speed and in bulk . Ses differentiates itself from other email delivery providers on ease of use and implementation.

Ses is benefiting me by providing real time critical email alerts on different configured services like lambda, S3, WAF alerts etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

It is the cheapest email service provider to my knowledge. It has all the basic featured to send emails with proper SPF and DKIM domain authentication from e-commerce giant Amazon. They just provide API, which you need to set up in your panel from which you can send emails. We used Amazon SES for both transactions as well as promotional emails. For promotional emails, we used easy sendy, email octopus and self-hosted mail wizz to compose and send emails via Amazon SES. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

It support is the main negative point that leads to switching to other email providers with a much better support team, especially at the time of integration. Amazon SES dashboard is also not friendly for a nontech person; it was difficult to configure and find the API key needed to integrate a 3rd party email-sending tool like WebEngage. We can have different unsubscribe groups according to the email type like triggered, OTP, promotional etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used amazon SES to send both transactional emails and promotional emails. Being in the affiliate e-commerce domain, we need to send OTP, tracking, confirmation, forget password, etc., emails for which we were using Amazon SES Email API. Being a small organization, the operating budget is limited, and amazon ses pricing is relatively cheap among its peers, which helped us save some money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
