Gründe für den Wechsel zu SMTP2GO: SMTP2Go was a better fit for my usage scenario.

A no-brainer: it just works!

Kommentare: It's been excellent. I tried two companies, and I had an issue with deliverability to Yahoo accounts with the other one! SMPT2GO had no issues. You can have multiple websites on the account, so I gradually brought other websites over to SMTP2GO. The API is easy to understand - or if you just want to use their SMTP credentials you can do that too. I've hardly needed to contact support - and once they contacted me to let me know I needed to make a tweak to improve deliverability. Overall, SMTP gives me peace of mind, meaning I'm not worrying about whether emails are making it to my customers.

Vorteile:

I needed to separate out my transactional emails from regular communications. I also needed to be absolutely sure that messages were being received. I'd never set up transactional email before and I didn't want a time-based free account to start with. SMTP2Go has a free plan for up to 1000 a month. That's perfect if it's going to take time to roll out. Overall, for me the best thing is that it 'just works'. That means I can concentrate on other aspects of the service we offer, rather than worry about emails not getting through.

Nachteile:

Really nothing. I had a couple of questions, and the support was friendly and sorted it out immediately.

Warum SMTP2GO gewählt wurde: Google was fine when the website was in its infancy. However, I needed to separate out transactional emails from my company's regular emailing with customers.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Google Workspace

Gründe für den Wechsel zu SMTP2GO: The pricing for SMTP2GO was cheaper. There was also a higher threshold for test emailing.

It works-ish

Vorteile:

Provides SMTP on the go which is great for temporary email solutions

Nachteile:

Had a couple of tests with this to ensure it works via temporary email addresses. Account got blocked. Other than that, its great.

Easy Integration with WordPress - It Just Works

Kommentare: What I like about SMTP2GO is that it was easy to get started and it just works. I searched pretty hard to find the features I wanted on a free service, and while they weren't the only organisation that fitted the bill, the others wanted me to jump through hoops to sign up. By the time I'd jumped through them, I'd already implemented SMTP2GO. We may move away at some point, but on our current level of usage the benefits of doing so would be marginal and we'd obviously have some set up and testing work to do.

Vorteile:

SMTP2GO was amazingly easy to implement. Signing up was free, I was happy with the level of service available on the free tier and connecting it to WordPress couldn't have been simpler as they maintain a plugin to make sure all email calls go via their service. We currently combine SMTP2GO with the WeMail plugin for sending mailshots to our members, and the combination works nicely.

Nachteile:

The usage limits on the free tier aren't especially generous, and to stay within them when sending mail shots we have to allow the messages to send over an hour or so, which means "last minute" emails aren't an option for us. Not a big deal as we'd prefer to avoid last minute emails in any case, and now we have an extra reason to do so!

Gründe für den Wechsel zu SMTP2GO: The free tier gave sufficient level of service and it was very easy to implement.

Lifesaver

Vorteile:

It just works. It's good being fancy and all, but in the end, it's the product that matters. Simple layout, no dynamic loading. Clean sections. I love it.

Nachteile:

No real downside to their services. If I had to, I would change the following: The overall style of the app, make it feel more modern. Support light/dark mode. Just to make it simpler on late night debugging. The logo feels a little outdated. The landing page could use a breath of fresh air.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Mailgun und Mailjet

Warum SMTP2GO gewählt wurde: The support was kind, but in the end not helpful. The company was stuck with tons of undelivered emails in Black Friday weekend. Hell. SMTP2GO worked 100% no missed deliveries, no nothing.
