Using SparkPost for sending Transactional Emails
Overall Satisfaction with SparkPost
Assessment Generator uses SparkPost as an email delivery service. We use SparkPost to deliver end user results after they take an assessment, as well as notifications to assessment authors that their assessment has been taken. SparkPost allows us to send a larger volume of emails than the SMTP server provided by our hosting service.
Pros
- Good Documentation
- Developer focused
- Supports sub-accounts
- Good support
- Integrates with Laravel out of the box
Cons
- When I first implemented SparkPost, I did not take advantage of the sub-account feature, and my account was suspended on New Year's Eve. It took two days until I could speak with a support representative to get my account re-activated. I am now using sub-accounts to alleviate the underlying problem, but I was disappointed that my account was suspended by an automated system with no notice.
- As a small business, we appreciate the inexpensive plans that SparkPost offers.
- SparkPost allows us to fulfill our email needs at low cost.
I selected SparkPost based on the following factors:
- low-cost basic subscription
- Support for sub-accounts
- Supported out of the box by Laravel.
