Pros

“Constant Contact helped simplify email marketing and communication with customers by centralizing contact lists, campaign creation, scheduling, and reporting into one platform.”
BR

Bradley R.

IT Director

“It provides an intuitive platform for creating professional email campaigns, managing contact lists, and tracking campaign performance without a steep learning curve.”
SS

Stacy S.

Sales Marketing Coordinator

“It handles the practical machinery of email marketing: contact storage, list management, templates, campaign creation, sending, and basic reporting, without turning every campaign into an engineering project.”

James G.

Senior Manager, Infrastructure Engineering

Pros

“Steep Learning Curve: The sheer breadth of options (dedicated IPs, suppression lists, custom routing) can overwhelm newcomers; the UI feels more like a developer console than a user‑friendly dashboard.”
GP

Gilbert P.

DevOPS

“Limited Built‑in Email Templates: Unlike some competitors, Mailgun doesn’t offer a visual template editor; you need to craft HTML yourself or use third‑party tools.”
GP

Gilbert P.

DevOPS

“They provide backward compatibility with their old API to reduce downtime during upgrades, especially for legacy systems where upgrading to the latest library or source code is not feasible.”
AP

Alan P.

Software Engineer

Cons

“You can't resize images within blocks, for example, and when you create a new block yourself, you can't copy and paste them into a new template or save them as a content block for reuse.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Jill R.

Founder, Owner

“Some advanced automation features lack flexibility compared to other solutions on the market, and customer support sometimes responds with a bit of a long delay.”
ML

Mike L.

Global Head of Product Development

“Some of the automation and advanced segmentation features are not as deep as some higher-end marketing platforms.”
BR

Bradley R.

IT Director

Cons

“Pricing Complexity: While free tier is generous for low volume, the cost structure (per‑sent + per‑recipient, dedicated IP fees, and extra features) quickly adds up, making it hard to predict expenses without careful budgeting.”
GP

Gilbert P.

DevOPS

“Need your own custom domain which is understandable for the sake of potential email spam which degrades the credibility of the platform.”
EL

Edward L.

Manager

“I didn't like how mailgun disable our account (with over 25 active applications/domains and hundreds of users) and didn't tell use why for over 3 days.”
