Mailgun Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Die Einrichtung war super einfach und schnell erledgt.

Nachteile

Sofern man nicht seine eigene IP hat, werden die Mails sehr häufig als Spam abgewiesen. Die Shared-IPs sind werden von vielen missbraucht und sind daher in einigen Listen als Spam-IP aufgelistet.

Vorteile

Different SMTP users (not able to log in - if someone was to compromise a system and get the SMTP user details)

Nachteile

SMTP user passwords are auto generated, which in 9 out of 10 cases is fine, however some routers don’t allow an SMTP user password this long.

Vorteile

Great documentation, 10k emails on the free plan was great previously for the prepaid plan is okay. Good API and interface.

Nachteile

Downtimes and deliverability issues can be daunting.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Mailgun

Vorteile

You can try Mailgun and really use it on your site for free

Great customer support that will treat you well even if you're using free plan and don't know nothing about emails.

Being one of the most popular company, there is lots of information around the web on how-to-dos.

Easy integration with wordpress plugins.

Nachteile

If you don't have a dedicated IP, your reputation will be influenced by other users. So if someone is using Mailgun abusively and is using the same IP to send emails you may get some problems.

Vorteile

Ease of setup. Transparent pricing. Free tier goes up until a really high scale. Can use it via API or smtp, whatever you need.

Nachteile

Support is a little slow for non paying plans, but that is expected. There are no alarms in place for when something starts going wrong unexpectedly.

Vorteile

Mailgun is the one of the best email software, from validation to deliverability, parsing to SMTP, and much more. It's the great tool with all in one email solution.

Nachteile

I believe it's the complete solutions and having all sorts of features and functionalities.

Vorteile

API is very easy to integrated, SMTP alternative is a quick start to use in software that require SMTP protocol to send email.

Nachteile

Current dashboard is kind of complicated, sometime I could not find a setting or where I could set a adjustment.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

The ability to connect to our internal platform to send transactional email and monitor activity are features that really stand out and directly address our needs in terms of email deliverability, activity tracking and technical solutions.

Nachteile

The ability to migrate from the legacy to the newest version of the platform has not been the simplest process. While the workarounds have suited our needs just fine, it hasn't been the simplest process to migrate over from the legacy version.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Mailgun's many features make email marketing easy to plan and implement. We can import contacts and create target group lists. Mailgun's custom templates allow you to design unique campaigns and save them as drafts. It's incredible how the real-time notifications and statistics show how actively customers engage in the campaign. My team and I love that future campaigns can use the same model. It's also good that you can hide and reorganize dashboard items.

Nachteile

I have no major technical problems. Mailgun improves email workflows for organizations large and small, the creators of Mailgun provide various videos and how-to materials that help develop our skills, and the support staff is always available.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Not worth my time to post any pros with their software. Same functionality as competitors.

Nachteile

Our email has been down this whole morning. No explanation or response from Mailgun.

After many unsuccessful attempts to log in to our Mailgun account, we got a popup saying "We are migrating some systems" -- no warning of this in beforehand either.

Email is a very critical part of our business. We assumed Mailgun would be a reliable partner — apparently not.

Please stay away from Mailgun. I can’t recommend this to anyone having a serious business. There are more reliable and cheaper alternatives out there.

Vorteile

Mailgun offers 10,000 free emails a month, which is much higher than a lot of the competing services in this category.
The web interface is clean and provides you with the information you need right on the landing page.
Integrates easy with many services and plugins exist for many platforms (eg Wordpress).
API is well documented.

Nachteile

While the Free tier of 10,000 emails a month is class leading, when you begin entering the paid tiers there are much cheaper alternatives available.
Email validation service is pricey for what it is.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

We've used a lot of solutions, we're a mid-sized business and don't send enough for our own IP, however, every other provider has not had great delivery due to that. Mailgun has been the first shared-IP provider to give us unbeatable performance.

Nachteile

Not being able to schedule emails more than 3-days in advance is a little bit of a downer, however, workarounds are simple.

Vorteile

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!

Nachteile

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!

Vorteile

I like the way the dashboard is built, it's really easy to use. Easy to find e-mails.

Nachteile

I always struggle to find the function of whitelisting an e-mail, but I always get there eventually.

Vorteile

Sends emails, sometimes. Most of the time it took a while to get the emails sent.
They have a free plan, but limited.

Nachteile

Free plan is no good
Emails have delays all the time
Shared IP has issues with spam all the time, good luck sending to yahoo or other big companies
They will delete your account if they do not make money from you
Customer Service is hard to contact, and when you do, it takes them 24 hours for each response

Vorteile

We use Mailgun to send to large email marketing lists because it's more affordable than many alternatives. The UX is pretty solid and the reporting tools are nice.

Nachteile

Sometimes there are things in the report that don't make sense like an open rate dropping considerably one day and then back to normal. We can't really tell what caused that. Also the open rate is lower than other tools that are not marketing based. So perhaps they're tagged as marketing server. Not sure there's any way around that and they take email server health seriously

Vorteile

It usually sends mail. API is straightforward.

Nachteile

If mailgun gets an IP blacklisted - from other senders - you could end up in trouble. Since they do not answer tickets for 48 hours you might not be able to send mail for 48 hours . Big problem.

Vorteile

One of the biggest pros of using Mailgun is its reliability. I have rarely experienced downtime, and the emails are always timely. It also offers an API that integrates seamlessly with different software applications. I can easily integrate Mailgun into my website, CRM, or marketing automation software to send transactional and marketing emails without any hassle.

Nachteile

One of the cons of using Mailgun is its pricing model. The service charges based on the number of emails sent, which can be costly for businesses that send a high volume of emails. Another suggestion for Mailgun is to provide more comprehensive documentation for users who are not familiar with API integrations.

Vorteile

Mail-gun lets you handle all you send any number of email using a simple rest API, who intgration is available in almost the leading technologies.Let Developers to focus to business logic, as it handles email part itself.

Nachteile

Never found any con till day, but once we had an issue, one of e-mail address which was deactivated for a small span of time, it stopped working with mail gun. that might be some kind of bug may be.

Vorteile

Once you have connected your domain with mailgun, you will get mailgun secret key using which all your project and applications can send emails. It makes work a lot simpler and easy. Its client tools are available in all the leading technology platforms and integration is very easy.

Nachteile

Sometimes there can be some delay in receiving emails due to heavy loads on mailgun servers.
