Albert H
Web Developer and IT
5.0

Albert: Hi, I'm Albert. I'm a web developer at a nonprofit organization in Nova Scotia, and my company has 25 to 30 staff in total, and I give Mailgun five out of five. Prior to Mailgun, I was using the default SMTP mail server inside LearnWorlds, and the problem was it just kept going to spam. Customers didn't receive the emails, and we couldn't track whether they got it or not. So we looked at several mail platforms, and based on the YouTube channel, knowledge base and developer resources, we found that Mailgun was the best choice for our particular instance of our learning management system and our website and batching platform. It was very easy to get started. Their YouTube channel covered everything, and whenever I encountered a problem that wasn't covered by YouTube channel, I reached out to their staff and they were very prompt to help me and assist me every step of the way. So before choosing this platform, I recommend watching the YouTube channel to make sure it fits your specific use case. And also, don't buy it right away, use their free trial. Every pricing plan on their platform has a free trial, so use that for 30 days to make sure it fits your business case. And then if that works, then I recommend going forward because it makes email delivery and email tracking a lot better.
