    Works well, relatively easy to use - but lacks some up-to-date and modern features as well as look and feel. The support provided is OK but not world class. It is too bad as APSIS as a company is quite good at inspiring and providing insights into trends in email marketing.

    It's great for any application that you need to track email receipt and recipient interaction, or with devices/programs that don't fare well with Exchange based email services. Don't try to set SMTP2GO as your outbound email server if you're using O365, that just isn't a possibility (not that I've looked into that setup).

    Pros
    APSIS International AB
    • We have a pre-designed template and pre-build elements and thus it is quite easy to compose nice looking newsletters.
    • Doing split-tests on subject, clicks etc. is quite easy and requires no tech help.
    • Imporing new contacts and adding to the list is straight forward.

    • adding senders or domains to improve email deliverability
    • you don't have to deal with RBL to white list an IP address previously used for spaming
    • Control panel gives you enough flexibility without a cluttered UI
    • Everything you need is well documented
    • The API is easy to use offers you the ability to integrate SMTP2Go with virtually anything

    Cons
    APSIS International AB
    • The user interface is not good. Too much scrolling and too many menues to navigate. Half of the pages are updated to a "new" look with the rest still being the (really) old design. This badly needs a make-over.
    • There is no one-click "send reminder to those who did not open". To send reminders, it is nescessary to build a filter a do a new send using the filter. Such a simple and often repeated task should be automated.
    • It is not possible to add a "Why did you leave us?"-page for opt-outs... Really misses this.
    • The statistics are too limited and to difficult to use - mostly due to the UI design as described above.

    • Might be nice to add a monthly good looking PDF report for subaccount users that can be branded and sent directly to the subaccount contact. A 'client facing' report that we can use to show our customers the email usage history.

    Reliability in email delivery is what counts the most. SMTP2GO is undeniably a winner in this category. The price is reasonable, therefore the RoI is excellent.

    When I first contacted SMTP2GO while searching for a solution, they were extremely helpful and attentive. I think it only took two email messages to answer all my questions and make a decision. I don't think I've ever needed any support to implement and operate the several solutions I currently use with the SMTP2GO service. It just works intuitively and flawlessly.

    MailChimp offers more flexibilty but also seems a bit more complicated to use. We did not use it long enough to really get an idea of the positive and negative.

    It has been so long since I did my comparison with other products that no comparison would be valid today. It has worked so well at a price point that is so acceptable that I don't feel an urge to do the evaluation again.

    Return on Investment
    APSIS International AB
    • We are still trying to figure out how to use this medium for sales. We have had some success with Black Monday sales, but in general we do not have much response to our emails.
    • We have increases our visibility with our customers by making sure to land in their mailbox regulary with nice looking messages.

    • Allowed us to use the same SMTP information across the board for all customers instead of having them split between several accounts.
    • More cost efficient than paying for several different email accounts.
    • Created an additional layer of great customer service for us since SMTP information is able to be preprogrammed into the equipment before ever leaving our facility.
