Pourquoi choisir Mailgun 

Logiciel antérieur 

Pourquoi passer à Mailgun

Avantages

Mailgun was easy to use, pretty straightforward and user friendly.

Inconvénients

The software seemed a little generic to me, no frills.

Avantages

It has good pricing, is fairly easy to use, and is affordable price. We've achieved a very high deliverability, exceeding our expectations in that aspect.

Inconvénients

Some of the user and account management interfaces were a big challenging to use and navigate. It took us a while to configure Mailgun according to our needs.

Avantages

Very reliable service for a good price.

We use for transactional emails for sales lead captures, dispatched via API. Solid and reliable.

Inconvénients

No concerns, long time user. We probably have some ancient price, so I cannot comment on that.

Avantages

+ API mailing+ driver for laravel+ triggers / webhooks+ price/value+ easy setup and integration+ easy deployment on new domains+ fixed IP address if needed+ good support and best practise+ reliable

Inconvénients

Pourquoi passer à Mailgun

Avantages

The best thing about mailgun is that you move away from it very easily. Just close your account and don't look back

Inconvénients

I didn't like how mailgun disable our account (with over 25 active applications/domains and hundreds of users) and didn't tell use why for over 3 days.

Avantages

I'd love to be able to fill this section, but I pay for a plan I can't use. Hence, I couldn't try it.

Inconvénients

I never thought I'll come across such an appaling product and customer service.

I pay $35/month for the "Foundation" plan, which includes 50k emails/month. However, my account is limited and can only send email to 9 recipients per email.

I provided all the information they asked for, and my account still stays limited. Even more, I have 3-5 days of sending emails, which they keep asking about.

So bottom line, I pay money for something I can't use.

Now, you might ask - why don't I move on and use something else? Unfortunately, I can't because the Ghost blogging platform only works with Mailgun for sending bulk emails.

Conclusion? I highly highly higly advise anyone to avoid Mailgun and use something else if possible.

Avantages

Reliable email delivery with good tracking tools.

Inconvénients

The interface can feel complex for beginners.

Avantages

Very good delivery, if you respect the rules you’ll go to inbox.

Inconvénients

Could have better user interface, more confortable for users.

Avantages

The functionalities are simple and reliable, stable and exactly what you expect.

Inconvénients

The price could be cheaper but I guess that is the usual customer complaint right?

Avantages

Inconvénients

- Bit of struggle with UI but time to time will be used to with it.

Avantages

Easy integration, and well-defined logs which helps always for better tracking when some issues arise

Inconvénients

The regular change in the interface and the toughness to find options with new ones

Avantages

The ability to connect to our internal system to send transactional emails and monitor activity are genuinely exceptional features that fully meet our criteria for email delivery, activity tracking, and technological solutions.

Inconvénients

I have many complaints that come from not understanding the technical aspects of the software, which are too difficult for me to comprehend. I am unable to give a thorough opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of using the software or its user interface.

Avantages

Mailgun is very easy to configure and use, even in free subscription, you can use a lot of features and can send up to 10,000 emails that makes it very great.

Inconvénients

The price is really costly, but you can still stick to the free plan and maximize it.

Avantages

Mailgun allows users to send and receive email from a variety of different platforms and applications, making it a versatile and flexible solution. This can be particularly useful for organizations that use a mix of different systems and tools

Inconvénients

While Mailgun is a solid email service, there are some potential drawbacks to consider. For example, the cost of the service can be a barrier for some organizations, and the advanced features may not be necessary for all users.

Alternatives envisagées 

Avantages

good email deliverability for outgoing emails, ability to monitor email campaign performance

Inconvénients

pricing could be reduced for SMBs, strict restrictions on using the platform for email marketing purposes

Avantages

Its api is very simple to use, most PHP frameworks come with mailgun integration out of the box - if they don't, mailgun supports standard smtp anyway. Great usage graphs and multiple regions to send from. Is makes it very easy to send emails from php applications which would normally be blacklisted if you use standard php mail from inside a VPS on e.g amazon/azure/vultr/digitalocean. Very generous free tier.

Inconvénients

Their anti spam measures can sometimes not work - if your sending details have been compromised you can be hit with a pretty large bill before you realize someone has been sending hundreds of thousands of emails on your behalf.

Avantages

Configuring email is like conjuring drunk dragons with black magic: most of the time it only works so-so and any tiny mistake gets you burned. Mailgun has very good documentation on setting up your domain and configuring things so that your reputation is great and does not suffer. The REST API makes dealing with events a pleasure and the dashboard gives you great insight into where your mails are going to or coming from and why your audience is behaving the way it is.

Inconvénients

There's not much not to like. The price is great (mostly free) and the documentation and reliability are 100%.

Avantages

When developing a custom PHP app or using Wordpress you often face the issue of your notifications and customer emails getting stuck or not passing the mails filters. This is a big issue, when for example you are sending out important information like an order confirmation or a ticket for your event and your users are not getting your emails or they are arriving into their SPAM folder.

Mailgun has proved superb on improving email deliverability and their logs are super helpful as well, you can track what went wrong if anything. Their interface is easy to use and to the point. Moreover, their free tier gives you 10.000 emails for use, for free. Something great for companies doing product research, I found their API easy to use and easy to integrate with my projects, Wordpress being the easiest: a plugin + an API key/secret. Regarding Wordpress I found Mailgun the best amongst options tried for email deliverability.

Inconvénients

Cost of the paid tiers is pricey if you compare with the alternatives. Everything in Mailgun goes through their API, so if you need a Full UI alongside the API this might not be the best choice.

Avantages

I'm using mailgun for transnational emails and I'm very happy I never encountered any problem, the interface is very good and simple, I like the fact we can setup multiple domains in the same account. All in all it's the best!

Inconvénients

Mailgun didn't notify me when my account was suspended for a verification and in that time I lost many emails that may have resulted in contracts if they were delivered! You need to check you account regularly to make sure everything is OK!

Avantages

Mailgun has a really easy to implement API (for devs) with a bunch of different languages support like curl, PHP, Java, etc. - Within minutes, we were running the PHP API on our app, and sending out transactional emails.

Also good for devs: the extremely in-depth official docs provided by Mailgun. Along with case examples, and demos, you'll be ready to go, even if you're a bit less experienced with implementing an API of this sort.

One of my favourite features is the email validation API, which easily integrates into your forms via jQuery, and uses the Mailgun API to validate email inputs as users type their email. We use it on all of our forms now!

Inconvénients

It's worth noting that everything that operates through Mailgun is through API, unlike something like SendGrid which offers a full dashboard alongside their API. This may or may not be an issue for some people.

Avantages

We liked the simplicity and set it and forget it nature of the product. We never really ever had to go in and perform maintenance since when we first set up the service on our app a few years back.

Inconvénients

We recently had an issue of emails not getting sent out that was due to a different service we had integrated with mailgun. Because of this issue, we had wondered if we were able to go back in the mailgun logs to see the old emails. Unfortunately, the logs only go back to about 2 months or so which meant we had just lost all the old data. It would have been nice if there was some option to perform automated backups of everything or automated exports after the 2 months period.

Avantages

Mailgun allows for a lot of customization. Users use the service on the backend as the infrustructure to mail, while using their own service portal to send the mail and segment their subscriber base. Mail sending is fast, reliable, and they have dedicated and shared IPs for sending.

Inconvénients

Since it is only to be used as the infrastructure to mail, companies will need the know-how of hooking up SMTP connections and have access to a developer and front-end software.
