I am currently considering moving to AWS, and possibly using their Amazon SES. However I see that there are other alternatives like mailgun.com or sendgrid.com
what would be the advantage of using 3rd party solution vs in house Amazon SES? I see that the pricing is pretty similar and I am leaning towards using SES, but I would like to hear opinions.
Thank you.
Sendy uses SES to send the emails on our behalf - so far so good - we do a weekend update to about 1500 address (so far) and it's worked quite well.
Someday I'll script something to dumb the current user email list into sendy so I don't have to export it to csv and reimport it every weekend...
I believe that Mandrill etc give a better deliverability compared to SES.
I'm using Mandrill for transactional email, and will most likely start using Mailjet for email campaigns. I believe that Mandrill etc give a better deliverability compared to SES.

Can you please share more of your experience regarding deliverability of various services? I'm somewhat surprised to hear SES can be surpassed in this department.
I switched off SendGrid after seeing quite a bit of gmail owners got their email sent into spam (but I believe they fixed the issue).
I use DKIM/SPF with Mandrill and nobody mentioned a spam issue since then.
On SES: I cannot find back the precise article I was thinking about right now (a benchmark if I remember well), these are just my memories.

I only tested SendGrid and Mandrill for transactional email. I switched off SendGrid after seeing quite a bit of gmail owners got their email sent into spam (but I believe they fixed the issue).
