Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/28/2020 "Email Marketing Game Changer!" 5/5 What do you like best about SocketLabs? Our company has been using SocketLabs since 2012. It didn't take long for us to determine SocketLabs is one of the best solutions for sending email. The user interface is easy to use and provides all the features needed to send to email, no matter if its 1 hundred or 1 million emails an hour. All the latest security features like DMARC & DKIM are easy to setup in the admin console. Updates to their software are timely and easy to setup. Their customer service is top notch offering both phone and email support. We always had a positive experience when we needed customer support to troubleshoot any issues. In addition, they have extensive help guides in case you want to research things on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SocketLabs? Honestly, there's not much to dislike about SocketLabs. There are a few minor quirks in the Hurricane MTA server application, but none of them are worrisome. I wouldn't be surprised if they address them in the next update, if they haven't already done so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Manager Infrastructure and Compliance Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 9/17/2020 "Socketlabs Provides Quality SMTP Delivery" 5/5 What do you like best about SocketLabs? Sockectlabs has the advantage of being simple to use while having the full set of features normally only available in highly priced onsite solutions. Having run onsite solutions in the past, they often required a fairly high level of expertise as well as constant tinkering. Socketlabs provides you with that level of function without the time and money investment. The product also helps with the compliance to standard around good mail sending. These features are especially important when attempting to be a good mail sender and keeping off blackhole lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SocketLabs? While the product has powerful reports, it lacks a level of native alerting without going into API creation and setup. I would like to see the reporting expanded as well as several options for native event alerting. Integration with a tool that reviews a message and checks it for possible consideration of spam would also be useful to have in the product, vs having to purchase a 3rd party tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SocketLabs: If you are tired of dealing with an SMTP onsite solution, or you are experiencing SMTP outages, I highly recommend this as an alternative. The price is reasonable, and the service is fantastic. The Support team is very responsive not only on setup but also on-going when there are product based questions. Overall setup time is very small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SocketLabs solving and how is that benefiting you? Socketlabs replaced a costly alternative and has done a better job then the alternative onsite product that was being used. The pricing and service tiers as well as periodic billing choices allow for the solution to easily scale as needed to your business requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Product Supervisor Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/23/2020 "Over than 5 years of partnership" 5/5 What do you like best about SocketLabs? All those years of partnership can say by itself. SocketLabs does the job. Definitely the differential is the account management and the all the support. On the feature aspect, highlights to the possibility to scale by adding new servers, each with a delivery configuration (custom bounce domain, DKIM signature and tracking) and the recently added possibility for each server to have multiple configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SocketLabs? Not exactly a dislike, but business model for enterprises could be better structured. This was recently solved and Socket labs could meet our requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SocketLabs solving and how is that benefiting you? Our Business Unit is responsible for the Transactional emails for the biggest companies in Brazil on the Telecom, Banking/Financial, Insurance and Utilities segments.

Host, Producer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/28/2020 "One less headache to worry about; ensure deliverability and traceability in one step." 5/5 What do you like best about SocketLabs? Ease of use. It's easy to set up using the standard SMTP parameters or their API hooks with several applications; I just use their wordpress plugin and I'm up and running in 5m or less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SocketLabs? I wish there was just a bit more control over logging and monitoring. Don't get me wrong, the existing tools are fine; but if it were up to me I'd add additional logging options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple setup with good tools to analyze your emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SocketLabs? I have not found problems with SocketLabs, yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SocketLabs solving and how is that benefiting you? Most of my activity is websites sending out emails for notifications, passwords, etc. I have used a variety of the "free" SMTP gateways. They were always changing the rules on what could be sent, and when. Delivery was often a problem. You don't often get feedback when your emails don't go through. The users just stop trusting your site. SocketLabs provides a nice, simple, stable, platform to send through. Their reports let you know where problems may exist and give visibility on where email addresses may be entered incorrectly. And it's always good to know that there is more available with SocketLabs if I need it. I know I'm just using a small portion of the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic SMTP delivery service" 4.5/5 What do you like best about SocketLabs? Easy to implement SMTP delivery service. Strong deliverability, customer support and a sleek analytics interface. The service is priced competitively as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SocketLabs? No complaints as of yet with Socketlabs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SocketLabs: I highly recommend socketlabs to any mailer looking for a strong SMTP delivery service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SocketLabs solving and how is that benefiting you? We deliver a large amount of emails in several verticals and socketlabs provides us an smtp service which hooks directly into our esp. We also manage several lists, and have a large amount of triggered mailings so we prefer to keep our operations within one ESP(Ongage). Socketlabs hooked right up to ongage seemlessly and we were able to begin sending almost instantaneously after some initial setup. We have scaled from 0 to 5 million emails/month in a small time frame while maintaining 99+% delivery and strong engagement with no signs of slowing down. We've worked with several smtp partners and socketlabs has been best in class in terms of scalability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick response to questions, even as a free tier user. The service addressed the issues that we had prior to using them, and we haven't had any problems with mail delivery since switching. As we grow, we will certainly keep using SocketLabs and will incorporate their services into our growth and marketing strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about SocketLabs? While we haven't utilized their entire range of offerings, there is nothing so far with this service that we dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering SocketLabs: SocketLabs offers great service, low cost (or even free) tiers of services, and great support. While I can't speak for larger companies, they are great for smaller companies as they scale up their operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is SocketLabs solving and how is that benefiting you? We were initially using a service with a shared email server that was not monitored for spammers which caused our mail to be rejected because the entire server had been blacklisted. Government agencies frequently utilize these block lists and we would run into mail bouncing when corresponding with existing clients if someone else on the server had been spamming. SocketLabs is careful to be compliant and we have not had any delivery issues since switching to them from teh old service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
