Really good service divided across many regions.

What do you like best? I like the easy integration with many programming languages and other AWS services. It is really good to include in the lambda and other code-related products. What do you dislike? Many times in the beginning of our usage, we got some messages being lost or not sent, even with a good reputation. It could have been related to the sandbox period, since after that it stop happening quit often. Recommendations to others considering the product It is a great tool, ...

SES user and like it so far

What do you like best? High available, I don't have to maintain or set up mail servers. What do you dislike? Fixed from. For project, sometimes we have logic needing to response to different user groups depending on the business logic of the application. But works for big projects. Recommendations to others considering the product The throttling exception needs to handle well. It won't response to different users. It is easy to use and don't have to set up machine or server. What ...

SES REview

What do you like best? I like the simplicity of it. The SMTP endpoint is easy to use and there's not a lot of overhead like some other services. What do you dislike? I really can't think of anything. Some of the Web UI visualizations could be better, but definitely not a deal breaker. Recommendations to others considering the product If you need good tracking like with something like SendGrid, you may not love it. That said, it's simplicity is was makes the product for me so having ...

Easily configurable elastic Email Service

What do you like best? The most amazing thing about switching to Amazon SES is the elasticity and the robustness of the product. And just like most other AWS products configuration was super easy. Prior to SES we were using an in house Exchange Server and the maintenance (bouncebacks, outages, access on that was a nightmare. Initially, I could not believe how simple it was to use SES vs the Exchange Server. Providing group level access was nightmare in Exchange Server, which is handles ...

amazon SES review

What do you like best? It is very simple, and a great price. I also like that it is through Amazon, which is a website that I use alot. I would recommend people who are not sure about where they want to host to use this. It is easy and it is affordable. I would also recommend using it with Cyberduck. I liked using it as well because I never really realized how many web service s that Amazon has since it is usually know as just the web stores. What do you dislike? I have had some ...

Exceptional service - easy to setup and get the stats.

What do you like best? I like the ease of configuration as well as performance of SMTP relay. I have to send about 400 emails and hour and it has been rock solid since day one. What do you dislike? I don't like that it is not possible to review SMTP logs. Recommendations to others considering the product If you're looking for the system which can be used to send emails and can be configured in minutes - look no further. Amazon SES is a simple email relay that can handle large ...

The cheapest and safest way to send bulk email

What do you like best? Price - my finance department laugh everytime I submit the monthly bill for $2 or $3 where we were paying $100's before using commercial email marketing platforms. Flexibility and simplicity. If I have the time and want something robust can use the SES API to build and send messages but if time is tight I can just use it as a SMTP server to send the messages out. Using SES in conjunction with SNS (simple notification service you can easily build in reporting ...

A Great Solution for Sending Email from Applications and Services

What do you like best? The thing I like best about this service is the fact that I can use it from pretty much any of our applications. Setting up the API access is really easy and the tie-ins to Simple Notification Service is nice. What do you dislike? Handling bounces, spam reports and abuse requests is a bit of a pain and requires a lot of manual coding from your end. The issue isn't that you have to do this, as you should do this to ensure you're handling these within your app and ...

An easy to use mail sending service

What do you like best? I like that I can easily integrate SES with my other existing Amazon infrastructure. What do you dislike? Amazon's console isn't very well designed and can be clunky to use. Recommendations to others considering the product Read blogs and StackOverflow for tips and tricks on setup because AWS's documents can sometimes poorly word key steps in the process. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I use SES to ...
