Cons

Con No Multi User Accounts
Not able to have an account accessed by multiple users.
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.)
Con No phone support
Sendy provides support via email and the support forums, but there's no phone support option.
Con No templates
Con No on-the-fly segmentation
Con Self-hosted
You require access to an Apache server running on Unix with PHP and MySQL to set it up. But if you've setup a self hosted Wordpress site before, you should have no issues.
