Find out in this report how the two Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"Messages easily flow from publisher or application to subscriber."
"We have found the key feature of this solution to be the simplicity of sending out notifications."
"The initial setup of Amazon SNS was easy."
"Amazon SNS has SMS notifications as well. Most of the other solutions have only email notifications."
"The mobile push notifications are the most valuable. Previously, we used to use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for this functionality. It is a Google service for sending push notifications. Android did not have a good service for sending push notifications, but now, Amazon SNS integrates with FCM. Under the road, it is actually using FCM, but we can see all the metrics on our AW service itself, which makes it a lot easier instead of using a third-party service for this particular functionality."
"Stability has been good for us. It is quite high."
"The integration between the features is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SNS is speed. It's really fast."
"Currently, it only supports triggering one job at a time. It would be helpful if it could handle multiple jobs or triggers simultaneously. What I mean is that currently, we can only perform one job at a time."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"Amazon EventBridge doesn't have the feature of event replay."
"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"In future releases, I want to see if the platforms that SMS can reach. It would be a good way to improve it. More platforms to be able to use it."
"We would like to have the option when someone leaves the organization or moves to another team, to remove notifications. Currently this needs to be done manually by the company admin."
"I expect Amazon SNS to provide some capabilities to allow the configuration process to be done in a single script."
"There needs to be more documentation on the integration with different platforms."
"I recently worked with Firebase, and it provides an option to create a marketing campaign with a title and a specific image to inform our audience about something. We just design the campaign and then use the push notifications. It would be good if Amazon also adds a similar feature."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to have better customer support for SNS. We can then manage it very easily."
"A major issue with AWS as a whole is that it has a lot of services that do the same thing, and people get confused about which one to use in which scenario. Previously, we used to use SNS for connecting microservices. SNS has around six types of subscribers. We can subscribe to Lambda, HTTP, HTTPS, SMS, email, and push notifications. We used to use HTTP endpoints and Lambda for connecting to microservice systems. Now we have something called EventBridge, which actually does that for you. For connecting to services, we should just use EventBridge rather than SQS, SNS. I hear a lot of complaints from people wherein they do not understand when to use EventBridge and when to use SQS, SNS. They can remove these features so that it doesn't confuse users about when to use SQS, SNS, or EventBridge."
"Messages should flow through a gateway without the need for a mediator."
