Mailgun

Shared IP -> 10% der Mails werde als Spam abgewiesen

Vorteile:

Die Einrichtung war super einfach und schnell erledgt.

Nachteile:

Sofern man nicht seine eigene IP hat, werden die Mails sehr häufig als Spam abgewiesen. Die Shared-IPs sind werden von vielen missbraucht und sind daher in einigen Listen als Spam-IP aufgelistet.

Excellent, powerful service

Vorteile:

Different SMTP users (not able to log in - if someone was to compromise a system and get the SMTP user details)

Nachteile:

SMTP user passwords are auto generated, which in 9 out of 10 cases is fine, however some routers don’t allow an SMTP user password this long.

Waste of time and money

Kommentare: I've worked for quite some time with Apollo where they referred me to use a mailing service such as Mailgun to expand my email sending cap to over 200 emails/day. So I did. I created the account on Mailgun, ran a couple of tests, got familiarized with the API, and developed a standard operating process around it, took me 1 week.Everything went well in the testing phase.After sending my first batch of emails LIVE (oh the timing) I got my account temporarily disabled. I get to fill in a completely irrelevant form that was supposed to confirm the "legitimacy" of my business. My business is 100% legit. I got my account permanently suspended, because why not, and who cares? It is not illegal in any country to send cold emails. I haven't received any explanation, there was no warning before starting to use the app. Waste of time and money.

Vorteile:

Yes, there are not too many things left to like at the end of the day.

Nachteile:

Takes a lot of time to set up and requires a serious time investment compared to its competitors.Docs are messy and outdated/inaccurate.Extorsion tactics.They disable your account for no reason.There is no support.

Developer friendly transactional email service

Kommentare: We are solving transactional email needs for a startup I work as a CTO, does a great job there despite pricing not being flexible enough.

Vorteile:

Mailgun is a service that was created by developers for developers. Their top-tier documentation and code is self-explanatory and should present no issues to integrate in just a few minutes. The service itself is reliable and has the latest bleeding edge features. Their customer support is very effective and can get issues solved promptly.

Nachteile:

Mailgun's pricing has only gotten pricier and pricier with time. They are not even able to provide discounts that are not in their scheme and it is up to you to simply accept that when there are many competitors on this market. The service itself is very robust but this inconvenient made me think about other options after some above-base level features were needed.

Incredible Deliverability, Clean Platform, Success with MailGun!

Kommentare: Super pleasant, great chat support, fast email support replies, always quick to help and communicate.

Vorteile:

Clean UXI for navigating the system, simple set up, clear dashboard to find issues quickly and navigate around the site. Ability to clean database lists to minimize bounce. However, the BEST part is they are free up to 10,000 emails a month, which is a ton! So to give the full custom power of connecting your domain and sending out, that's a huge value. I will get over that limit and upgrade soon, but that is an incredible way to start a relationship. Almost a year of free service to use their system versus my server.

Nachteile:

I actually have not found anything that I do not like. Many will complain about high bounce rates or going into spam. I find that issue arrises on multiple factors outside of mailgun control, such as the receiving server, and the mail habits of the person opening it, do they get a bunch of spammy mail already? And was the mail piece written in a poor nature, this increases spam folder direction, however, they do have dedicated IP service for those wanting to mitigate one area of cause for spam direction. Again, never been my experience.

Paid for a service, denied because suspicion of fraud

Kommentare: Wanting to send only notification emails to our users through Mailgun, our very bad experience with the support team killed any interest for the product.

Vorteile:

Mailgun was easy to set up, straight from Heroku. It worked well for some time.

Nachteile:

Despite a paid plan and all the proofs the Mailgun staff could need, they restricted heavily our ability to send mails to our users through SMTP.

Great e-mailing platform

Kommentare: It is helping our business with one of the core services we provide which is OTP verifications

Vorteile:

SImple and user friendly interface. Cheaper than most competitors

Nachteile:

You can not search the logs with the email content

Cheap and reliable emailing service

Kommentare: It helps our bisness with providing our core services.

Vorteile:

It is cheap and reliable. There is no downtime.

Nachteile:

If logs can be searchable by email content that would be great

Easy to use, very intuitive

Vorteile:

Used this to track email delivery and perform transactional emails. Works as advertised

Nachteile:

There is a learning curve to use this service

small and medium busniss best choice for email marketing campaings

Kommentare: it was a good experience during the free trial, i like about this platform it is very user-friendly and email management, but they should improve spam detection and use the power of AI in the platform

Vorteile:

best free plan in the marketeasy to use email verificationdomain verificationgood analytics

Nachteile:

spam detection should be improvedgive more analyticsinclude machine learning and AI

Powerful e-mail API

Vorteile:

Mailgun's API seamlessly integrates with our relationship management software, allowing us to automate communication, reduce workload, and increase impact.

Nachteile:

We use some of Mailgun's more basic features, and the pricing is a little bit steeper than what we'd like to pay. However, we have still benefitted from the service.

Powerful yet tedious to implement.

Kommentare: Overall experience was minimal. We ended up switching to lead connect email through HighLevel.

Vorteile:

The user interface is clean, but I found it difficult to use initially.

Nachteile:

Setup was not clear and no documents to support DNS issues.

Great Value

Kommentare: Overall, I'd recommend it for anyone just starting out and wanting to keep costs low. It was a good experience, and I'd use them again.

Vorteile:

It was free with a low volume of emails, which was perfect for just starting out as a business. The interface was pretty straightforward, and it easily integrated with my WordPress website.

Nachteile:

I don't remember it having features likes what gmail does (sheets, word, etc.). Otherwise, it's a great product.

A Reliable Email Service Provider for Businesses

Vorteile:

One of the biggest pros of using Mailgun is its reliability. I have rarely experienced downtime, and the emails are always timely. It also offers an API that integrates seamlessly with different software applications. I can easily integrate Mailgun into my website, CRM, or marketing automation software to send transactional and marketing emails without any hassle.

Nachteile:

One of the cons of using Mailgun is its pricing model. The service charges based on the number of emails sent, which can be costly for businesses that send a high volume of emails. Another suggestion for Mailgun is to provide more comprehensive documentation for users who are not familiar with API integrations.

Mailgun Review

Kommentare: All of our company's websites utilize Mailgun for email marketing purposes. We've even implemented Mailgun for our customers and strongly suggest it. Email delivery problems have been solved thanks to Mailgun. There is no need for us to use the e-mail server provided by [our hosting server]. Email delivery was a major problem for some of our customers who were hosted with well-known shared hosting providers like GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc. One of Mailgun's best features is that messages can be monitored in real-time, and if they fail to send for any reason, the specific cause is shown in the log.

Vorteile:

Sending an email to someone takes no time at all, and you can even set up a queue for thousands of messages. If you need to contact a large group of people with one message, this is a great feature to have (e.g., newsletter subscribers, marketing emails to clients, etc.). With its help, your emails are more likely to reach their intended recipients and are less likely to end up in the spam or junk folders. The Mailgun reports and logs feature is excellent. If an email couldn't be delivered successfully, what are the exact reasons why? Sometimes, if we can determine the cause, we can work to fix the problem.

Nachteile:

The WordPress plugin for Mailgun could use some work. It needs to have more options made available to users. Our email volume isn't particularly large, but we'd still like to have a dedicated IP address for our outgoing mail. A dedicated IP's high price tag is unjustifiable. fixing the problems that have arisen with sending emails to Hotmail or Outlook.com. Deliveries are made, but the junk/spam folder is where most emails end up.

Consider Mailgun if you want to increase your email delivery rates

Kommentare: Overall it's a great tool to start with if you are a startup doing an initial setup for transactional emails. Just keep an eye on pricing as you scale as we migrated to AWS SES once we started hitting like 50k emails per month because it was cheaper than Mailgun.

Vorteile:

The integration is smooth, and it's very easy to get started. I felt Mailgun has the best success rates. It keeps giving good suggestions with reporting dashboard to improve the delivery rates.

Nachteile:

They had changed the pricing plans and removed the free plan, so if you are starting, it's not free anymore. It just has a free trial of 90 days and after that, you need to upgrade the plan. Customer support can be improved as well. I had one issue with my account that got sorted out in about two weeks.

Unacceptable

Kommentare: Unreliable. The one thing that an email services cannot be.

Vorteile:

Not worth my time to post any pros with their software. Same functionality as competitors.

Nachteile:

Our email has been down this whole morning. No explanation or response from Mailgun. After many unsuccessful attempts to log in to our Mailgun account, we got a popup saying "We are migrating some systems" -- no warning of this in beforehand either. Email is a very critical part of our business. We assumed Mailgun would be a reliable partner — apparently not. Please stay away from Mailgun. I can’t recommend this to anyone having a serious business. There are more reliable and cheaper alternatives out there.

Almost a necessity with server configs and email filters!

Kommentare: Mailgun ensures that emails sent from your site make it the destination email inbox and not the spam folder. Easy to use, free for the first 10,000 and has mail logs. All around, a great product!

Vorteile:

Mailgun ensures that emails from your website actually make it to their destination. With their free tier covering the first 10,000 emails, it's a free solution to a prominent issue: emails getting stuck in email filters or not making it at all. Mailgun is easy to sign up for and easy to integrate into your site, especially if you are using WordPress. Absolutely love the mail logs too - that's come in quite handy on many an occasion.

Nachteile:

As a web developer, I understand the need and value of Mailgun. It can be difficult for new users to understand this though.

One of the best SMTP/API mail integration solutions

Kommentare: 10,000 free emails a month, easy to use API, easy to integrate and send emails reliably.

Vorteile:

Mailgun offers 10,000 free emails a month, which is much higher than a lot of the competing services in this category. The web interface is clean and provides you with the information you need right on the landing page. Integrates easy with many services and plugins exist for many platforms (eg Wordpress). API is well documented.

Nachteile:

While the Free tier of 10,000 emails a month is class leading, when you begin entering the paid tiers there are much cheaper alternatives available. Email validation service is pricey for what it is.

Support is SLOW and New Owners have driven down the quality of experience

Kommentare: It used to be fine but going to hell-in-a-handbasket. We will be moving to AWS SES most likely before the month is out.

Vorteile:

Simple to use for monitoring send activity logs as well as spot complaints.

Nachteile:

Support is terribly unresponsive. They have been recently purchased and the new folks have instituted what appears to be automated "features" that throttle emails even when you are not exceeding paid limits.

Great service with easy integration.

Kommentare: First 10k emails through Mailgun are free, why not give it a try. Transactional outbound emails originating from Mailgun and are less likely to be blocked as spam.

Vorteile:

Free options for small/startup businesses with reasonable prices for larger companies/projects. Mailing lists included. WordPress integration is quite simple with the Mailgun plugin. Once installed and configured, the WP plugin allows websites to send form email responses with relative ease. The mailing list feature is nice bonus. Management portal was updated recently and vastly improved the UI/UX experience.

Nachteile:

Extended log access is only available in more expensive plans.

Need email notification support? This is the one

Kommentare: Is easy to use, has great support and customer care is THE option for email notifications in your App/WebApp.

Vorteile:

Easy to use! Supports integration with a lot of languages including PHP and Rails, we were able to use it in no time, They provide you with free mails monthly for when your startup is starting and is blazing fast, much better than connecting the app to a conventional email.

Nachteile:

Nothing at all, hoping they can implement PWA notifications soon.

Good software, but UI and delivery issues

Kommentare: We use Mailgun to send automated emails for people who are registering on our site and to reset passwords.

Vorteile:

Mailgun is an easy platform to automate sending mail. It is really nice that you can set up alias emails so that you don't have to share a personal email on a platform, but you also don't have to set up a new email account. Mailgun did recently update the UI of the site, so it is more modern, but it could still be improved.

Nachteile:

Some of the UI is still a little counter-intuitive. Unlike MailChimp, there is also not the easy interface to customize messages. We have a number of issues with the emails from Mailchimp going to spam and users struggling to find them.

Most reliable yet

Vorteile:

We've used a lot of solutions, we're a mid-sized business and don't send enough for our own IP, however, every other provider has not had great delivery due to that. Mailgun has been the first shared-IP provider to give us unbeatable performance.

Nachteile:

Not being able to schedule emails more than 3-days in advance is a little bit of a downer, however, workarounds are simple.
