"Ever since switching to SES we hardly think about email issues."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

Our IT dept made the switch to Amazon SES about 1.5 years ago. Because SES we use to run tests and figure out email issues in the marketing department, which is not our job. It became our job when we saw low engagement. With SES we haven't brought up any issues with IT for a very long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

There are no dislikes; the best an email-sending service can do is deliver emails every time and fast. Marketer concentrating on email messaging is how we can best send our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cheapest and Best Email service provider to use in the applications"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

I like the fast email delivery, identity protection, and handling the spam, bounce and reports from customers. SES service is very straightforward to integrate as well using the AWS SDK. They also have good security features; in case of a credential breach, if someone tries to send a lot of spam using that credential, they take immediate actions, which helps the users safeguard their domain score. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

I don't like the SES API reporting; in case of a credential breach, one can not access the Sent email logs as there is no feature; you need to guess how your credentials were breached and what email they are sending using that. So AWS SES should provide a way to see the Sent email logs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cheapest Email Service"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

We are using SES to send internal reports within organisation, we can send 50000 of mails free of cost per month l, later on at very minimal cost. Easy to setup, it will provide an endpoint for a particular region and username/ password and that's it. Just need to intergate with any language with credentials and ready to use.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES)?

Once we had some security breach, that time Amazon blocked our email service with some suggestions / changes, we did that changes right away after reporting, but it still took 72 hours to restart this service from Amazon side. Then we changed our email provider. We didn't wanted to see this down time again in future. Even that was good, but after changes it should start our service within few hours.
