Solid service and decent price

What do you like best? You cannot choose SES and not mention the price. It's just its best feature. Deliverability at its best. What do you dislike? It has extremely strict rules. After years using it, my account was closed because they assumed it was spam. Turns out I was sending email for my own forum and the long emails from their support failed to see that. Recommendations to others considering the product: Be very aware of the rules and do not break them. They do not forgive. ...

Simple, effective but set-and-forget

What do you like best? You can send e-mails both using an API or through the creation of SMTP credentials for integration with systems that wouldn't support a better way of doing so What do you dislike? The lack of an easy way to manage e-mail feedback. Bounces are only sent as an SNS notification that you have to handle and correlate to the message sent on your own.

heavy production SES user

What do you like best? It eliminates the need to manage mail servers which is the bane of the class sysadmin's existence. What do you dislike? Sometimes it seems like the rate limiting is not accurate and mail can be delayed/throttled for 24 hours or longer. Recommendations to others considering the product Ensure that you have most of your mailing lists configured properly and that you are not on any blacklists currently before switching. Ensure that the default ratelimits are ...
