"Learning curve "

**Overall:** The most difficult part for me was the set up it was confusing while in that process. After we got though that it seems to be much smoother and going great now

**Pros:** I love that the cost is low it’s a cost per email not a monthly fee. It can also handle small to massive volumes of emails without any performance issues.

**Cons:** Amazon SES is not beginner-friendly. You need to set up things like domain verification, DKIM, SPF records, and IAM permissions.

"Cheap and Easy but needs Monitoring on a Regular Basis"

**Overall:** Dirt cheap and works, but it does need regular maintenance and monitoring, not feeling like I can completely let it be automated.

**Pros:** Really the frontrunner for email service, it’s effective and affordable, there are some issues with it as far as user error, and if you are not great with technology or computer systems, you can have some work stop issues that you may not be able to diagnose.

**Cons:** Easy to get your emails sent to spam by recipients, also had an issue with email bounce backs - if your bounce back/ spam rate gets too high AWS will stop you from being able to sent emails. I wish there was a default feature to correct this.
