We were looking for a tool to send bulk promotional and transactional emails without putting them in spam, then we looked over Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). It offers various features which are not simple, as its name sounds. We can use their well-developed SDK to send emails via our server and our domain.

Emails Management
We integrate it into our website to get feedback or help the customers after the launch and it was great working using simple email service (SES). It was easy to set up. it is efficient to use. It is very cheap in cost as well. It was a great experience using it
We use Amazon SES to send non-transactional (marketing) emails for our online services. It makes sense for us to keep transactional and non-transactional email routing totally separate, and Amazon SES allows that.

Easy to go Email Notifications Service
We use Amazon Simple Email Service to send out email notifications on different scenarios and different triggers like when EC2 shuts down due to crash. We also detect events like memory overflow on EC2, S3 bucket changes, and various fishing attacks on an EC2 instance.

Amazon Simple Email Service will definitely improve your existing email delivery processes.
We use Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) on several client accounts as well as several of our own applications and services. We primarily use Amazon Simple Email Service to send informational emails related to status notifications, important updates, and information requests within different applications and services. We've implemented SES for as many as 50 domains and feel confident when recommending it to clients.

My experience with Amazon SES
We use it to send newsletters from our company. And we have installed it to a lot of clients, integrated with PHP email scripts (that we made ourselves) so they can send emails too. We have users with more than 1 million mails sent per day. It's very useful because delivery is fast and it's easy to integrate with PHP scripts.

Easy to use!
We decide to use Amazon Simple Email Service for our email service, as we were having all of our infrastructure running in AWS, and we really think this was the best move. Working on a specific web application and we need it to send emails, so for developers was really easy to interact with AWS SDK for implementing the changes. For operation, this was a great option also, as the price is really low, and this is a great plus compare to other services in the market.

Once configured, SES is the reliable, cost-effective choice
I use SES both internally and for customers. Internally it is used for our website contact forms and other internal applications.
We have used SES with several customers for the past 8 or so years.
SES solves one of the most common annoyances in programming. Email deliverability. With SES (configured correctly) we have no issues with spam filters.

Fast and simple setup
I use Amazon SES for mailing forms from websites. I've found delivery to be very reliable and much faster than standard phpmailer. It's quite easy to set-up and verify your domain, and emails still deliver as if they came from your website.

Best Email Service for AWS ecosystem.
We are starting to use the AWS ecosystem for different developments. So for our department in our organization our demos are hosted on AWS and we are sending all the outbound emails using AWS SES. The benefit of this is we don't have to set up an SMTP server and we can directly use this feature with no extra efforts.

True to its title: 'Simple' Email Service
Amazon SES is currently being used by our team (Mobile/ IoT) to send customized emails to users in reaction to events.
I've used several email service products over the years, mainly SendGrid, MailChimp, and SES. In my role as a consultant, I aim to recommend the best tool for the business problem being solved. While most companies can get away with stock or lightly modified SaaS solutions, if email is absolutely core to your business, I'd recommend Amazon's Simple Email Service. It provides the lowest pricing outside of building up your own sender reputation while providing the same flexibility and performance, especially if your application servers are already in AWS.

Amazon SES a great business solution
We use Amazon SES to send transactional emails with high deliverability. We want our customers to have the best rate and results. Setting Amazon SES as a provider is really easy and it helps us reach as many inboxes as possible.

SES is great low cost no frills email platform. Suited for marketing emails more so than transaction emails
I use Amazon SES to send out watch list emails so users can know when new listings appear on our website.

Simple E-mail Service- may not be simple, but well worth it!
We are a CRM vendor and our product is deployed as a service (SAAS). We use SES to send out automated emails to clients - when they register, when they forget their password and need it re-set and [we use it for]the first set of onboarding emails. We do not use it for email marketing.

About SES at a glance.
We use Amazon Simple Email Service for sending out emails related to password changes, emailing the details about the latest updates to the product, sending out links to verify user activity etc. SES enabled us to sink our systems to help users understand their recent driving behavior using a single button click. SES enabled us to send HTML pages which were built very easily.

SES Sends Mail Like a Champ
We use Amazon's Simple Email Service to handle sending out important notifications and replies from our ticketing system. When we initially launched we quickly surpassed the volume of email that Google allowed through their SMTP relay, so I quickly set up SES to get our system back up and running. Where Google limited us to sending 2,000 messages a day, SES allowed us to send 12,000 each day, which was more than enough.

Send thousands of emails -- pay a buck
I'm working for a hosting company and it's no secret that usual hosting providers do not let their users send mass emails. So when our clients constantly exceed the limits, I suggest them to look into Amazon SES. Most of them thank me because they have never heard about Amazon SES. Also, I've been personally using Amazon SES for over 3 years now and it's a live saver! I've sent thousands of emails without any issues and Amazon SES is exactly what I needed.

Finally a simple and programatic way to send emails.
We use Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) in a number of our software products to send large quantities of emails on behalf of our customers. Their support of DKIM allows us to send high-quality emails without worrying as much about spam filters. It has also served as a simple solution for sending SMTP email from various websites (think contact forms and the like) where using the computer's native "sendmail" commands are insufficient.
Our entire organization uses multiple pairs of SMTP credentials from AWS to send all our transactional, marketing, and system monitoring e-mail messages. It makes life for the developers very easy, because they have a single interface to send an e-mail, regardless of the system originating the message.
In addition to its simplicity, the dirt-cheap pricing is almost negligible. The monthly bill for all of our e-mails is roughly $4 per month, and simply cannot be beat by any other SMTP provider.
