Warum Amazon SES gewählt wurde

it was becoming extremely expensive to send emails via Mailchimp, and Zimbra as wellas Bluehost mail delivery was leading to a number of mails landing up in spam. Elastic email, we never really were able to get comfortable with

Price and scalability

Vorteile

The pros are that there are a number of people that one can contact if they run into any issues. I appreciated the system that is built within AMAZON. If one person can not assist they have an immediate person to contact

Nachteile

The cons - that not just one person can assist you, if you get the wrong person you will be bouncing around till you do.

Vorteile

Very profitable. deliverability is excellent from very efficient smtp. the ability to send emails per minute is super goodthe economics of the service.

Nachteile

technical support is very poor. the documentation sometimes doesn't help.the desktop board is very unfriendly. Configuring the smtp and getting it to production is a big challenge

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).

Vorteile

The best thing about Amazon SES is the price. You only pay for what you use, and even with this, it's possible the cheapest solution for bulk emails. The delivery rate is good, and it integrates with most bulk email platforms and programs.

Nachteile

Amazon SES is not exactly easy to set up unless you're a bit tech-savvy. Also, the support is a bit slow when responding to limitation issues. However, once you overcome these hurdles and get it running, the rest is just a piece of cake.

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.

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

Mainly cost

Vorteile

The email notification are sent using Amazon Simple Email Service, which is a cloud based email service. The cost of this solution is much lower that that of the most other solutions in the market. Due to the fact that it provides good reputed IP addresses, our emails do not end up in SPAM folders.

Nachteile

It would be very useful if there were a way to track the delivery of emails are sent by Amazon Simple email services.

Vorteile

One of the best revolution in the history of cloud solution is Simple email service, It removes overhead of maintaining mail server on your datacenter

Nachteile

AWS SES has a limitation of sending 200 emails in 24 hours which is pretty low when iam running a campaign Though you can call support and increase it by giving justification

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.

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.

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.

Vorteile

The ability to send emails via SMTP protocol and an API. With the API they can achieve millisecond speeds to send emails. It's very affordable.

Nachteile

Some of the configuration options are a bit complicated and require purchasing other products from AWS.

Vorteile

Simple interface for the purpose of sending and receiving emails.

Nachteile

Lack of incoming email security control tools.

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.

Vorteile

I've used SES since it was first launched. Several websites have been using it for years and I've never had a problem. Extremely reliable.

Nachteile

Like most AWS services, make sure you set it up right in the beginning. I once had to make a change for security reasons and it was a pain updating my live apps that use SES.

Vorteile

Amazon SES is absolutely incredible when it comes to saving you money compared to ANY bulk email sending and marketing platform out there. I love the fact that I am spending pennies on the dollar, literally, compared to what I was previously on sending emails to my clients. I've also seen a huge increase in deliverability since switching over as well!

Nachteile

Much like many cloud systems, setting up and configuring Amazon SES is not the easiest thing in the world, which i guess is to be expected. I don't really like that I have to involve a third party for certain management functions, but given how much I am saving, I'm OK with it!

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.

Vorteile

Dirt-cheap email service from Amazon. It's super-reliable and easy to set up. Integrates nicely with the rest of the Amazon stack.

Nachteile

Sender domains must be whitelisted and verification is done through DNS records, which can be inconvenient at times.

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.

Vorteile

I integrate Sendy email marketing app (a script) with Amazon SES to do more complicated email marketing management such as automation, rules, and so forth. I like Amazon SES because I don't need to pay recurring and pay what I send. Deliverability is decent, not the best but I don't argue because it's really the most affordable way to do so.

Nachteile

The initial set-up requires some patience, tinkering and you even need an external app to increase its functionality. However, its price is unbeatable.

Vorteile

Very easy to set up. Probably the cheapest transactional email service in the market. Has a high deliverability rate.

Nachteile

Creating email templates for your transactional emails is a pain. You'll have to write HTML/CSS by yourself, make an API to create a template. Not at all intuitive.

Vorteile

I am using a e-commerce website. Per day 800 I mailing through AMAZON SES. You believe it or not , I am really success for Amazon SES.

Nachteile

This email service make my product email easier.

Vorteile

Amazon Simple Email Service is the best match to send marketing emails from the AWS cloud environment. Best facility to send marketing, transaction emails to your client and employees.

Nachteile

While configuration you must have skills of SMPT etc to configure the Simple Mail Services, which a cloud practitioner can do.
