Cons
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.
Con Brazillian Portuguese only
As the time of writing(30/08/2016), the only language is pt-BR. Even though the support answers in English if needed.
