My favorite features:
1. SAAS web app to manage the service with logs, and configuration as well as multi-user management with various roles.
2. HTTP Rest-like api for sending mail from your app
3. API keys for authentication, managed through web app
4. They do monitor black-lists and removals from blacklists. They also manage the warm-up time for your IP to make sure it is ready to send the volume of email you are sending, and can queue emails to avoid sending too many at once to the same destination mail service.
5. Spam control, in case you use the key in an app that turns out to have a relay vulnerability.
6. Return-path management to catch blocks and smtp errors.
I've managed my own SMTP services with PostFix and SendMail, and I will never go back to doing that myself again. It would take a lot more than 1M emails/month to make that worthwhile.
