    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).

    Its a goto product for transactional emails. Developer friendly and you have control over showing message content to suprressing email deliveries. You can configure multiple domains and create multiple accounts to keep account of usage if you need to. Less appropriate scenarios? I cant think of any use cases. One concern is on the max file size, which is about 15 MB. If you intent to send emails with larger attachments, this may not be the right product for you

    Cons
    SMTP2GO
    • 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.

    • Dashboards can be better than how they are now.
    • Code snippets are shown even after years of integration is success and working fine. This can be avoided. Being stable product, none of the dev team logs in now.
    • There is scope to make templates better than how they are now.
    • some features like auto-suppression can be shifted to agent/sub-account level. Presently they apply for all emails from all accounts.

    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.

    While reporting could use some tweaks overall it is a very good product that works reliably and is simple to set up and maintain.

    A good product. I cant rate very good as portal looks like built for developer. Once product is setup and in use, developers wont login, as said code snippeet isnt required. I dont have an option to hide this. I recommend we have more easier way to search the emails, have dashboards that are more relevant. for example, multiple charts on dashboard have differnt time-frame and are opened by default with such settings. Its kind of weird to see this. Another thing is their email alert on usage of the tokens is not well formatted :) I raised this concern a couple of times.

    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.

    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
    SMTP2GO
    • 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.
