Oracle Dyn Email vs. Postmark

Oracle Dyn Email is well-suited for organizations that need to create, manage, and analyze bulk email campaigns from existing email templates. If your organization's business objectives are fulfilled by the out-of-the-box features of Oracle Dyn Email, then it is a perfect solution for you. On the other hand, if you think you will be needing more advanced features, I would suggest looking for another solution.

If email deliverability is important, then Postmark is king. I've used all sorts of providers, with dedicated IPs and without. Postmark has always had the best deliverability and has resulted in the least amount of customer service time wasted dealing with users who simply did not receive an important email from us. It is pricier than other options, but it's well worth it if deliverability is at all important to you.

• More user-friendly portal for power users (easy to switch between subaccounts without losing information, direct URLs, better reporting visualization)
• Simplified support ticket submission process (less manual input, like my e-mail address, etc.)

• Not many cons since it's pretty straightforward, and if email delivery service was often impacted, we'd most likely find a new provider.

I think it is very likely we will continue to use Dyn

The only thing that confused me initially was that if you don't put a specific sender email into the Wordpress plugin settings (I use Postmark exclusively with Wordpress site), it won't send emails. I thought that having selected the option to send via any @domain.com email, I wouldn't need to fill out a specific email to send from, but that isn't the case. I sorted that out quickly with support.

Customer support for Oracle Dyn Email is very responsive. We usually get replies within a half an hour if not earlier. It is clear that the support team is experienced with the product due to the amount of time it takes them to solve all of our problems. We are fully satisfied.

Fortunately, the support is not often needed, but when it is, they are available and ready to dive into your needs and often your customer's needs. It's a bad day when you have to call your email delivery service provider, it means that your own customers most likely are calling your support team, and you're calling to see what the issue is. Postmark makes this process simple, and they own their mistakes. Always nice to see that.

While the UI is a little outdated, this system is FAR easier to set up and manage that some other services we have used. Also, our questions to the support team are answered quickly and fully within an hour of submitting a ticket. We have had other services where questions were answered 24 hours later AT THE EARLIEST. Not so with DYN.

In my opinion, sendgrid is complete garbage compared to Postmark, it's not even a comparison. I had issues with emails being sent to spam using sendgrid IPs. The dashboard is inferior, the setup is fairly comparable in difficulty, and ongoing visibility is inferior.

• We did not have to spend a lot of time or resources to get our transaction email program up and running. This by far was the best positive impact.
• Inbox placement rates were great due to the Oracle Dyn Email's awesome network.
• The negative impact is that they are not partnered with an data quality platform like Webbula cloudHygiene to identify risky emails prior to the send.

• It is really "set and forget." I have not had any issues that I've needed to deal with. It just works.
