Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Email Service

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.
  • Speedy delivery - usually in seconds
  • Easy setup - just a few minutes per domain
  • Inexpensive to use - few dollars a month for reliable service
  • The set-up interface could be made simpler. Some things aren't intuitive.
  • It's not easy to find from the AWS menus.
  • A simple testing script would be nice, but I've never had trouble using it.
  • More reliable email for clients
  • Very inexpensive to implement
  • Easy to manage for small orgs
I haven't used others in this space.
I've never needed it, due to the plethora of documentation online.
