Chose Postmark
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.
Chose Postmark
I've also used AWS Simple Messaging Service (SES) but couldn't select it from the above, as well as the old one Mailchimp used to run and shut down. We had big deliverability issues with those services, inconsistent but often for self-hosted email providers and free email …
Chose Postmark
They are a bit different and, in many cases, it makes sense to use both Postmark and Mandrill. Aside from these two, I don't have experience with other email delivery services. Both tend to be extremely reliable and rarely fail to send and deliver emails. Both are …
Chose Postmark
We found Postmark early on and have not looked back. There has never been a need to reevaluate the solution, as its cost is fair and the service has functioned as expected. We regularly recommend Postmark to our partners.
Chose Postmark
We felt Postmark's focus on transactional emails and their use of shared domain reputation made them stand out. We also like their user interface and ability to have many virtual email servers. Pricing was competitive and after a trial we saw a big increase in deliverability …
Chose Postmark
In terms of UI and deliverability, Postmark really blows other ESPs out of the water. We've seen a huge improvement in delivery rates, especially for Outlook/Live/Hotmail email addresses.
Chose Postmark
I have briefly used Sendgrid and it provides similar functionalities. However, I have not used it extensively to express a complete opinion.

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.

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

  • 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.

Usability
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.

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.

Support Rating
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.
