Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Email Service (SES)
We use Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) for sending email related to information, notification, workflow approval, one time password from our self created applications and systems. These emails are rolled out to customers as well as internal teams. As we're on AWS so it is the best suited service for us to use for all these scenarios.
Pros
- As compare to other vendors that I have integrated response is very quick.
- You can verify both domain or email to send out the emails from.
- While setup you can easily configure it with your domain with few clicks like adding CNAME, DKIM records
- Easy to use with or without access key and secret key within aws servers. You can directly map permissions to servers to go without credentials using boto3.
Cons
- When we're creating user access key and secret key becomes username and password. As per compliance we need to rotate them it you need to create new user to rotate. Instead we must have option to generate new access key and secret key as new password or just secret key. This option should be provided in IAM service.
- Very cost effective and almost $3-4 billing amount every month.
- Better communication with client and internal team.
They have fix cost and not pay per use model like Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) and moreover selecting best suited plan is also difficult as per our organisation use case.
