Likelihood to Recommend I have already recommended bouncer to a number of my colleagues, and I know of one that is already deploying it. Protecting your online reputation, staying off of UCE blacklists and the like are important to deliverability of your messages. Having a simple tool such as bouncer really helps achieve deliverability goals without deterring from your workflow to any degree.
Read full review It works great as an onsite relay to provide email sending functionality without having to pass through the firewall in order to reach the Office 365 gateway. This is particularly evident when using older programs. A lot of the older, no longer developed, programs will only allow a hard coded port to send email. Office 365 uses a non-standard SMTP port for security. This does not allow the hard coded SMTP ports to use this service. Exchange gives you the control to change those ports and securely use the standards without compromise.
Read full review Pros It's cleansing methodology is different than other services and is much better It performs it's services rather quickly The results are very good. Your bounce and spam rates will greatly improve Running your lists through Bouncer will raise your Reputation scores Bouncer will help keep you off Blacklists Read full review It allows us to send email through the secure email gateway. We are able to track and scan all email communications It provides a way for legacy and current applications to send out notification and mass email communications. Read full review Cons Maybe to add some filters for History checks (by date, period, reason, person's name in case it's a corporate account, domain of email (by writing it manually), etc.) and add a date of verification In case it's a corporate account, to add name of the person who verifies an email/bulk If an email has been previously checked, and now you want to check it again (e.g. a few days later), then to show the status of email BUT to mention that you've already checked this email earlier (maybe to show the date) Read full review As with any technology on a server, we sometimes see issues with downtime related to network changes or firewall updates. It can be a challenge to work with some of our older applications when the TLS feature is used. I wish there was a more direct way to reliably use SMTP for mass email sends without the fear of being blacklisted. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Because I love this kind of solution. Not a lot of different functionalities but really effective for why I'm using it. I need to make sure my email list and CRM are corrects and Bouncer is perfect for that!

Read full review Alternatives Considered Bouncer validates and cleans email lists more accurately than other tools. It has a lower false, positive rate, can identify hard bounces, and provides detailed reports on email validation results, making it a more reliable and effective tool for maintaining a clean email list.
Read full review Office 365 does use secure non-standard ports for SMTP connectivity causing a problem with older programs. SMTP Email Delivery from Exchange solves this problem by giving the network admin full control over ports and specific program connections. While we do use both Office 365 and the SMTP Email Delivery we find that a mix is needed in order to meet all expectations for our end users. The majority of our SMTP communications, for users, go through Office 365 while the majority of our applications and servers do go through the SMTP Email Delivery service.
Read full review Return on Investment ROI can't be defined for mail checking, but it definitely saves much time and effort, and probably money since it allows us to appear in mailbox of our leads. Read full review It's the easiest way to send mail out. No worries about complex configurations. It can be finicky when used in a hybrid Office 365 environment to get the proper pathways secured and working. I wish there were a better way to send out mass emails, on-site, without our domain or server IP being blacklisted. Read full review ScreenShots
