What do you like best about Mailgun?

The integration to our app was fast and the integrity of the deliveries was incredible. The things I like the most is the great API support and the HTTP methods to send emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailgun?

The sandlike time took some time. Also, we have not used many features so the pricing could be a little more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mailgun:

Mailgun is a excellent tool for rapid prototyping and stays reliable for small projects to enterprise delivery. The bound system works pretty well and requires no configuration. I would give it a try since the integrations for testing environments can be done in less than a day and from there, you can choose if it fits your need or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our project was an MVP for a brand-new task manager system. We used mailgun to handle transactional e-mails and send weekly reports to our users. After a while we started sending server alerts and our main benefit then was the easy way to integrate multiple parts of our application and just plug in what we needed.

The dashbord may be pretty slow, but it's okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailgun?

I love the ruby library for mailgun. It makes it super simple to get transactional emails up and running on my Rails projects. Also the REST API is a cinch to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailgun?

There isn't much to say about the downsides of mailgun. The UI is probably a little less polished then some of the competition, but I don't have to interact with it much on that level, so I don't notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mailgun:

If you work with Ruby on Rails, mailgun_rails (https://github.com/jorgemanrubia/mailgun_rails) is a fantastic way to get up and running with transactional emails quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Building applications for the web. Using Mailgun (via the great Ruby library) means that I can't get emails up and running quickly for my clients, while still providing robust extensibility and customization when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailgun?

Simple and free service for managing emails. Easy to configure and start use it.

And it has a lot of features at the same time, like domain signing, tracking and creating mailing lists.

10.000 of free email more than enough for a small business.

Great API allows to setup a integration with your application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailgun?

There's no obvious place to preview emails in web interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailgun?

Unlike other transactional email service I had used. Mailgun has something their unique about their API access. API access documented very well while I am able to fetch almost everything on my account using API. I will say for API and webhooks Mailgun is unbeatable. Like API you can customize your email delivery, subscribe, unsubscribe, bounce, spam, open, click almost everything by their webhook service. Giving me the all access to my account, that's what Mailgun actually capable. On the other hand Mailgin is white labeled transactional email service. Allow you use your own domain for sending, tracking and filtering your email activities.

List management always been a struggle for email delivery, using Mailgun you can sort down inactive and invalid email addresses. That's a wonderful API feature they are offering.

Their logging system very useful too, you can see all header information of every single email sent or bounce. Very awake email tracking system they has for sure, all activity logging and filtering let you track down anything you want. Other service good as well, but API is the only reason I will vote for Mailgun. (y) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailgun?

The only thing I didn't liked was I had to change my MX records. I know it might be something helpful they trying to serve yet it conflicts with our regular incoming emails. Even they has incoming emails alert, but I prefer no conflict on MX records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mailgun:

If you are unknown about email delivery system but you want to get or send emails for your apps just using few lines of codes. You may need Mailgun for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Transactional email delivery for web app and cellphone apps. Actually their API helping the most, because I don't have to include any other dependency for email delivery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailgun?

We have been using mail gun for transactional email in our company (www.foxus.me) and it has saved us a lot of money and time to add some e-mail features like confirmation e-mail and forgot my password.

On top of that, we had a quality service for our clients.

Even our clients have noticed the difference when we switched from traditional e-mail to mail gun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailgun?

There's really nothing important to dislike about mailgun. It's a great tool.

Maybe it's a bit complicated at the beginning but just a few minutes of use are enough for mastering maligun.

My team is very happy now with mail gun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mailgun:

I recommend maligun if you need a great tool transactional email at low costs.

Mailgun will definiltely help your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a powerful tool to connect with our clients, and as a startup we don't have a lot of money.

Mailgun solved this with a quality tool at low cost.

We have used mail gun for:

Forgot your password: If a user forgets it's password mailgun helped us send a very nice (used templates) email that's delivered very fast.

Signup confirmation: When a user signs up to our app they need to confirm their e-mail and we use mailgun to send the e-mail in a nice template so they click it and activate their account.

We are going to use it to delegate a task by e-mail. It's on development but it will be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailgun?

We used to send emails throw classic SMTP servers, but we were losing a lot of clients because any traditional hosting company care about specific email configurations. Now, with Mailgun we are getting the best results ever, with almost 99 % of successful deliveries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailgun?

It's build for developers, so a bit of experience is needed in order to integrate it with your systems. After the integration, it's a hosted email delivery service, you don't need to care about anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mailgun:

Email services can be a critical section for your business: from user validation to emergency alerts. Common SMTP servers (or on-premise SMTP servers) are not a solution since there are services like Mailgun, Sendgrid or Amazon SES. Consider pricing, monitoring options and support for integrations for better results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Email validation, newsletters and notification system for several products and companies. Since we moved to Mailgun, all the problems we were having with other providers (mainly delivery errors) were solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Mailgun?

Getting up and running as a startup with very little traffic was very easy on Mailgun. The pricing was reasonable, their Heroku integration was pretty seamless, and every feature we've added so far has been well supported by their platform.

In terms of support and notifications, they did a good job of informing me when they added features to the product; when they improved their sandbox features I was able to start using it pretty easily. They also notified me about an issue with my DNS that could have caused me a lot of grief if I hadn't dealt with it. Big kudos for that!

I get the sense that we'll be using their service for a long time to come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Mailgun?

For various reasons, I've struggled with their link re-write features. Sometimes it's been on myself and my teammates, other times I felt like their tool fell short, but either way that feature stands out as one that has burned us a few times. Improvements around the UI and experience of that piece in general would have gone a long way to making me feel great about the product.

Their web UI feels pretty klunky and could use an update. Their reporting tools are pretty limited, I'd like to see more done there as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Mailgun:

Their are other options; my choice to go with Mailgun was heavily influenced by my reliance on Heroku as a hosting platform. I'd recommend this tool to other Heroku apps without hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Mailgun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sending and tracking receipt and conversion of transactional emails from our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
