Best Bang for Buck!
What do you like best about the product?
Sendgrid allows me to send my emails direct through its servers from my preferred email client using the address I've associated with it, rather than forcing use of its own web interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Other than being a cheapskate who wishes everything was free, nothing!
An update:
Since I wrote my initial review of Sendgrid, it has been acquired by Twilio. The fallout from that is not terrible, but I wouldn't describe it as especially positive either. Prices have increased, and sending from my preferred email client was made more difficult (from a standpoint of having to set up everything again) by ending the ability to use an SMTP username/password and requiring generation and use of API keys instead.
On the whole, I still appreciate Sendgrid. I haven't found a better deal for the money for my personal use case (sending op-ed columns to a large list of newspapers three times a week). My impression is that Twilio has added several new features to the service. While they're not applicable to my use case, they may be to yours.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sendgrid seamlessly handles bounces/bad addresses so that I can keep my list clean. It also proactively addresses spurious additions of its servers to spam lists like Spamcop so that my emails actually get delivered.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Everyone's needs vary, but at its price point Sendgrid was clearly the best option for my product and niche.
