Pro
Multi-factor authentication available for all accounts
Mailing lists are sensitive pieces of information, especially as they contain contact information that is subject to high levels of abuse, and this enhanced protection against unauthorized access greatly aids in keeping that data secure.

Pro
Freemium pricing model creates access to professional tools for startups at no cost
Since all features are available on a free plan, those looking to get a newsletter off the ground have access to the same toolkit as entities with tens of thousands of subscribers. Free tier caps out at 1000 subscribers.

Pro
E-mails generated by the system are authenticated using DomainKeys, DKIM, SenderID and SPF
To reliably traverse the Byzantine system that e-mail has become, it's necessary to adhere to many protocols simultaneously. By attending to these most critical structures, you can be confident that your messages are not subject to various spam filters and blacklists. They also remove any impediments to DMARC compliance for your domain.

Con
Annual lock-in contract
By default, the contracts are annual, but it would be preferable to have it monthly considering that they have pricey packages. We are talking about $200 per month (basic) that becomes a $2400 LOCK-IN annual contract. Having contracts by month allows you to terminate the contract earlier with lesser loss than having to pay an entire year's cost.

Con
Port 2525 is not encrypted
Most cloud providers block ports 25, 465, and 587. Port 2525 is commonly open but SendGrid only allows unencrypted messages via that port. Note: There are also so some certificate issues (see https://support.sendgrid.com/hc/en-us/articles/200182008-Certificate-verification-failed-for-smtp-sendgrid-net)

Excellent analytics
SendGrid offers amazing analytics and reports. You can check which messages are delivered, which are marked as spam and much more. SendGrid also lets you download the data in order to look through it locally.

Great support for beginners and experienced users
If you are just getting started with email marketing and transactional emails or if you get stuck somewhere, SendGrid includes amazing videos and guides to help you work out any problem you may have. What's more, it also has phone, chat and email support available 24/7.
See More
Top
Con
Not suitable for people without a technical background
There are some features which are missing by default from SendGrid (sign-up forms or follow-up messages just to name a few). In order to implement those in your emails, you need to know how to program because you have to code them yourself through SendGrid's API.
See More
Top
Pro
Both newsletter and transactional emails
Usually when choosing a service to send your application's emails you need two. One to send the newsletter or news and promotions from the marketing team and the other to send you application's automatic emails and messages. With SendGrid you don't have to choose two because it doubles both as a transactional and marketing platform at once.
See More
Top
Con
No sandbox/test mode
Does not support test keys that can be used to check integration with SendGrid and that cannot be used to send real e-mail out. It means that either you don't cannot verify that your integration with SendGrid works during development, or you have to use real credentials which should not be shared widely across your team.

Cost effective
Sendy costs a one-time fee of $59 and uses Amazon SES that charges 0.0001$ per e-mail.
See More
Top
Con
Have to setup Amazon SES account separately
Not an all-in-one solution as Sendy is just a front-end for the actual mail server on SES. (This is entirely understandable as you probably wouldn't want to self-host the actual mail server, but it's extra work to be aware of.)

You can use Sendy with Amazon SES to send huge email marketing campaigns. Configure Sendy on DigitalOcean server and start sending mass email marketing campaigns.
