Amazon SES Erfahrungen

Amazon SES satisfies your email needs based Amazon's economy of scale

Kommentare: We are solving the need of simple, reliable bulk email that scales and delivers with confidence.

Vorteile:

Amazon SES is a relatively simple integration despite the need of better documentation, has an very developer-minded logic and allows you to share data to other Amazon AWS services for analytics, monitoring and others. It is the way to go when you want to have bulk email at a fraction of the costs incurred with other competitors. It is extremely reliable and has the Amazon infrastructure to support it. The web console is simple yet provides you with the essentials to monitor the account's health and performance.

Nachteile:

Having migrated from Mailgun, I really felt the lack of proper development documentation when you are integrating for the first time. The current documentation is not well organized and lacks the developer friendlyness that you can find with competing products. However, this may have to do with a more general, bulk approach that Amazon focuses on. There are different versions of their APIs in the process of being migrated with the newer version being somewhat limited in features compared to the older one. My recommendation is that you get prepared to read a lot and test as you start to implement. I don't think you will be provided with bleeding edge email developments early but the basics will always be covered with Amazon SES.

Amazon Simple Email Service - does what it says on the tin

Kommentare: I have used SES in multiple projects and it has proven itself to be a reliable service time and time again. The pricing is amazing and whilst you don't get all the bells and whistles other more fully featured services offer it does what it says on the tin. I've used it for multiple different projects utilising both API and SMTP connectivity and both have been solid.

Vorteile:

The pricing is amazing for such a great service. The API is well documented and SDKs are available for the most popular languages. If you are integrating with legacy systems where you have no API access and require an MTA to be configured that i also supported. There's a generous free tier available for smaller projects as well (so long as you are using either EC2 or Lambda to integrate).

Nachteile:

There's really not much to dislike about SES. A dashboard like Sendgrid provides would be a nice additional option but it's aimed at doing one thing and doing it well.

No Support for Amazon Simple Email Service

Kommentare: It was good to start, but frustrating once we wanted to go further and when we had any issues whatsoever. It was at the owners decision that we pulled the plug on this project once he listened in on our support call, once we did get someone to talk to us.

Vorteile:

this is a very simple but capable email system that we tried to use and i have worked with others who have used it. the feature set is good, the speed is excellent and the ability to lease an IP and to have tiered levels is very good. It also has a good reputation dashboard so we know what is going on and how to make sure we get lots of emails through spam filters

Nachteile:

Spam filters eventually catch up to you. Also they provide no support via phone that is worthwhile. The support techs are condescending and not very helpful. They close cases very fast, they send pre-canned responses that do not answer the questions you ask, and it is useless to talk to them. We moved away from them after we could not get what we needed done.

Amazon SES: " Efficient and reliable email services for businesses"

Kommentare: My overall experience with Amazon SES has been positive. The platform is user friendly and easy to navigate, making it simple to set up and manage email campaigns.

Vorteile:

The most thing I like about Amazon SES is that it's high deliverability rate, ensuring that emails reach recipients inboxes without being marked as spam.

Nachteile:

One common compliant about Amazon SES is it's complex setup process and lack of users friendly interface. Some users find it difficult to navigate the platform and set up their email campaigns, leading to frustration and confusion.

Great relation price vs quality

Kommentare: Overall the experience has been just great. The service simply works, although it's a little complex the first time to setup but once we get used to it (as with anything else in life), it's a little bit of work that is worth it for the price we pay for.

Vorteile:

Price per 1k emails is incredible. As of this writing, we are talking about $0.10 per 1k emails sent, which is really now.

Nachteile:

Their support is getting worse. Very recently I had to wait a month until an account from one of our customers was finally approved and then a couple of months later, we had another customer that was rejected for no reason whatsoever and we had to escalate to have it into production.

The cheapest but the hardest to configure

Kommentare: I have some knowledge and I read a lot to be able to configure it as I wanted, which sometimes it was frustrating, but I finally made it as I wanted and need it, that plus the price, the results... Awesome!

Vorteile:

What I love the most is "The pricing", it is extremely cheap compared with other massive mailing systems like mail chimp or others.

Nachteile:

The ease of configuration... You need a little bit of knowledge to configure, and even more knowledge if you want more specific features.

The BEST choise to mail service

Kommentare: I am a user for a few monthd and i used to have problemas with mail delivery, but It really helped me to improve my email campaigns

Vorteile:

Amazon ses has a really good prive tonuse It for mail marketing and intégrate It with other softwares

Nachteile:

It's not really easy to set Up, but the support works fine.

I only pay for what I use, how much better can it get!

Kommentare: I use it in tangent with another program that allows me to send thousands of emails through my Gmail account. It makes it easy, simple, effective and an overall no-brainer to get those emails out daily. I don't have to worry about delivery or bounce either, which is something I can't say for plenty other similar services.

Vorteile:

One of the biggest things about this program that I absolutely love is the fact that you are only charged for what you used. That alone makes Amazon SES great in my book because I know that I am only paying for the features that I have used over the period of time. It's also very flexible in connecting to various other software/programs etc.

Nachteile:

It can be a bit tricky to figure out how to use the backend for those who are not tech-savvy. As a result, I think that might be something that they can try to improve a little bit. But other than that I'd say it's pretty impressive.

Perfect for transactional emails

Kommentare: I used SES to send notifications from a web platform when certain events occurred.
We had a 100% success rate and were never disappointed y the product.

Vorteile:

- It's easy to configure and implement - It makes sending transactional emails very easy - Costs can be easily forwarded to clients

Nachteile:

SES requires technical skills, so only developers can actually access it features, but that's reasonable given the features the product offers.

Programmatically generate massive amounts of emails for a low price point

Kommentare: Amazon SES is a great solution to use as an automated email sending service for applications hosted in the cloud, if you can overcome the complicated set up process.

Vorteile:

Amazon Simple Email Service is a great way to set up and send out automated emails associated with an application you have deployed on the cloud. It provides a comprehensive API that lets you design and send your email out in any way, and works very fast to send out large amounts of emails. The price associated with sending out emails is very reasonable as well.

Nachteile:

Amazon SES can be quite complicated to set up and integrate in to an existing application for someone who is not familiar with its concepts. Any email address that you plan to send emails from must go through a verification process which could take a while.

Reliable and Cost Effective Business Email

Kommentare: I initially started using this service for two reasons:
#1 The email reputation for my domain (and client domains) was poor and needed to be relayed though a trusted provider with higher reputations.
#2 The server being used was having load issues because of the added email traffic - Moving email to Amazon SES quickly solved that issue.
I liked that it was fairly easy to set up, and there were a lot of "how to" guides available. I like that this is well supported.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable solution.

Vorteile:

Three features are most impactful to my business. 1 - The service is very affordable, this helps preserve budget. 2 - Arguably this is one of the most reliable email solutions I've used. 3 - The automated suppression list helps my business maintain a positive email reputation (so my email messages don't go to junk). Also, I should mention their support was great, and the odd time I felt I needed to reach out, they've exceeded my expectations. Additionally, scaling up (if needed) it easy to do as well, so I know this can grow with my business.

Nachteile:

One thing I thought could be improved was the allowed size of each email message was too small. However, Amazon SES provides a form where you can request to be able to relay email that's up to 10MB each (and it's super easy to request and receive).

Simple like in the name and really cheap

Kommentare: We have been using SES for a couple of years now and are very happy with it. It's simple, stable and fast. Pretty much all you need..

Vorteile:

Amazon SES is super straightforward and cheap. You can set it up in no time and it just works. At first your sending limits might be limited but once you have built your reputation and they go up you can send big batches of emails easily. We use it for our marketing automation suites and for our operational messages.

Nachteile:

Reporting is a little more difficult to setup. It works with other products from Amazon and just isnt as straightforward.

Cost-effective transactional email without all the bells & whistles

Vorteile:

Straightforward service; very cost effective for low/medium volumes of email

Nachteile:

Doesn't have as many features as some competitors; AWS permission policies can be a little cumbersome to work with

Slightly steep learning curve but reliable email delivery

Kommentare: I'm very pleased with SES so far. The free tier is enough for many to get by with, and it's very inexpensive with use beyond that.

Vorteile:

Once I got it setup, it has worked perfectly without any continual maintenance. Emails are delivered quickly and don't end up in spam boxes at the recipient end.

Nachteile:

It's not entirely straightforward to configure and the instructions aren't very intuitive for beginners. You'll need to set it up a few times for a couple domains to get the hang of it.

World class Email communication tool for Marketing email or any

Kommentare: Overall best and cheap email campaign service for Marketing/organizations.

Vorteile:

Amazon SES is world class service from Amazon that provides mass email campaigns. very cheap to use cost. It is cloud based we no need to worry about infrastructure.Well documented. robust service.

Nachteile:

I don't think this is a negative but we need to learn configuration to setup it, which needs little effort to learn.i think they can simplify configuration settings.

Simplest way to send and work with email in the cloud

Kommentare: Excellent solution with great scalability and priceing model.

Vorteile:

SES revolutionized way of sending and programatically working with incomming email in the same way that AWS S3 revolutionized storage few years ago. It not only allows you to send all your commercial email but gives you tools to work with incoming email using all of AWS managed services. It's super easy and extremely scalable solution.

Nachteile:

Before starting using it you need to prepare some kind of monitoring system to carry about your emails reputation.

The best Email Service from AWS, it's cheap and easy to send emails

Kommentare: It's definitely a great business email solution and I would recommend this to others. This is well suited for marketing emails and is simple to use after just setting it up once and off you go.

Vorteile:

I have found it's very effective and being able to monitor your mailing activities. I enjoy that it sends out email notifications and you only pay for what you use. Amazon SES is much cheaper than other solutions. It has an easy setup and only costs a few dollars per month.

Nachteile:

I found that it's not so easy to navigate around the menus, I wish they were more intuitive. There are initial sandbox limits are too low for a production application

Worst customer service

Vorteile:

I have used the service earlier around 4 to 5 years, it was profitable to small business, due to cheap marketing plan and all the IPs are very effective

Nachteile:

The worst part is the customer service of amazon ses, once they blocked from sending campaign for any reason but when you asked for appropriate reason for blocking account, they just simply used canned response some time you feel that robot are working there instead of human

A simple, essential service for most applications

Vorteile:

If you're running a web service that uses a popular web framework you'll probably need an SMTP server for sending certain emails. This is that and it's cheap and easy.

Nachteile:

It's simple like it says. Won't help you run amazing campaigns or track lists of customers.

The only right way to run databased on AWS

Kommentare: SES is vital to our cloud operations and won't be going anywhere as long as we're running databases.

Vorteile:

A managed environment for data is, in my opinion, a must. Turn-key log-based backups and recovery with all necessary features. A good number of database options.

Nachteile:

Lacks direct access to the machine so this is limiting as to what can be set on each database. While most things are possible, there's a learning curve to accomplish some more advanced configuration.

Really Usefull for any kind of projects

Vorteile:

I have used it for 2 different projects and they work a lot better now. It's worth it if the company decides to pay for it.

Nachteile:

A little bit too complex and lack of documentation

Perfect high-volume email solution

Kommentare: We have a newsletter that is sent out to our clients on a regular basis. Managing that email system ourselves was more work than we wanted to deal with. SES is very affordable and relatively easy to use. As mentioned in Cons, my only complaint is with incoming email being either expensive (WorkMail isn't worth the money IMO), complicated (setting up your own income email solution), or messy (mail forwarded with SNS is unformatted and JSON encoded).

Vorteile:

Setting up an email server is relatively complicated. It's made even worse when dealing with a high volume of outgoing emails. AWS SES makes it much easier than any DIY option out there, giving you the exact DNS records to enter.

Nachteile:

As with most AWS services, it will take a little learning. Compared to some of their other services though, SES is quite straight forward. I really don't like that there is no simple incoming email forwarding option. It can use SNS to forward a JSON encoded mess, but unless you are using their WorkMail service, receiving mail is still something you'll have to figure out.

Cheapest SMTP server

Kommentare: I think Amazon provides the cheapest SMTP server, the cost per email is very low as compare to other servers. At the start, I was worried about the reputation of my account but if we follow the rules and use it according to their policy then nothing is better than Amazon SES.

Vorteile:

Well, I think this is the best SMTP server with the best features. I never get my emails in spam with amazon SES.

Nachteile:

It's a bit difficult to start with Amazon services because they need more technical knowledge and it's hard for a noob like me but in the end, with help of youtube videos, I was able to set it up.

Marketing E Mail

Kommentare: My free trial with the Amazon SES is just amazing

Vorteile:

The Best thing that it can notify senders of email deliverability issues and suggest for the improvement of the inbox

Nachteile:

High price for the new users or new businesses are the most hurdle

The great way to send massive mail

Kommentare: overall it's good.

Vorteile:

If you have a business and want to reach your massive customer via mail then AMAZON SES is the best choice.It's very cost effective, they have a feature called-pay as you go, and pay only what you are using, that's is the best thing. You can configure it according to your use ,it means you can set rules when sending mails. as per me it's quite beneficial.

Nachteile:

They have put some limitation on sending mails when you first start using it.
