Overall SendGrid offers a great service with competitive pricing and great performance. Unfortunately the deliverability for emails hosted on Microsoft servers is not that good and other providers might be needed in those cases.
Pros
SendGrid is a well priced ESP with great delivery performance, near instant webhooks and highly configurable. Their API is quite straightforward to use, minimizing integration costs.
Cons
When using a shared IP, deliverability to Microsoft hosted email addresses is really bad, most emails sent to Outlook or Microsoft 365 organizations end classified as SPAM and the only workaround withing SendGrid is to have a higher cost plan with dedicated IP addresses, having to build the IP reputation from scratch. Also support takes days to reply to most concerns.

Easy to set up, secure and verbose logging and reporting make this an easy choice for SaaS email relaying. While there is a marketing portion to this application, we don't use it so I can't speak of it.
Pros
I don't think the email API service has ever had a technical downtime where it doesn't work in the many years we have used it. The API itself is very easy to use and use the least privileges. Integrating the API into your SEIM or reporting platform (Power Bi for example) is also really easy to do and gives verbose information.
Cons
Email reputation can be a concern in ensuring your emails are delivered externally unless you want to pay extra, otherwise, the lower tiers are fine and still have decent deliverability %'s, typically above 95%'s.

In the beginning (some 8 years ago) when we started using it, it was actually good. Both pricing wise and everything else. Last time we used it (around 4 years ago) we stopped using because of what I mentioned
Pros
I do appreciate the fact that their documentation is fairly simple to understand and it's complete. Their options are also good and their system does work
Cons
The biggest problem and what made me and my customers using it, stop using, was the fact that they do not filter their IP addresses (even for PAID accounts as I was). The argument from their support at that time was that they cannot control what IP addresses the system associates to each customer and so they couldn't do anything about it. This was, at that time, very serious because we ALWAYS tried to keep a clean mailing list and we started to have bad reputation just because a bad IP address was suddenly associated to our sendings. Price compared to other suppliers for similar functionalities (such as Amazon SES) is also not as good.

Overall, I would select SendGrid over many of it's competitors. It is simple to use, quick, and best of all the delivery rate is way higher than other platforms that I have used.
Pros
SendGrid is incredibly simple to use. Its ease in usability makes working with team members who are not as tech savvy, incredibly helpful. This lets more folks take on the initiative to use the platform, over having one person who really knows how to use it.
Cons
The contact limit. When downloading large contact sizes, you have to be really careful about doubling up on contacts, or erasing the file but not the contacts which has been confusing for me
