InboxAlly vs. SMTP Email Relay Solutions

If you're sending cold emails to market your product, you definitely need the tool. It will likely increase your open rates by 30-50% at least. This change will add a lot to your conversions and bottom line. The tool has a very high ROI on the investment. Also, if you have a list of subscribers or customers to whom you're sending out broadcast emails. A big chunk of them ends up in your customer's spam or promotions folders. If you want them to actually see your emails, I recommend you to use IA.

SMTP Email Relay Solutions is a great service if you are in a field where sending out bulk information, such as monthly statements to clients, invoices, or any back-to-back emails that would normally get flagged for "spam" is required.

• Improve their back end UX a bit. It's very easy to understand and super useful, but there's always room for improvement.

• 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.

I have yet to encounter any hiccups with their services. I send a large volume of emails monthly and have yet to experience any delay in my work.

Inboxally is more specialised in solving the very problem that we had, while others do a lesser job on tackling the problem of deliverability.

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.

• 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.
