"Great Service"

5/5

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)?

It does what it says: publish and subscribe to multiple consumers in an AWS environment. SQS is fine for pushing messages between individual services but if you need to fan-out messages then there is no substitute for SNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No complaints - it is a mission critical service for us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SNS is a huge productivity gain. SQS is useful if you're sending a message to another service but if you have multiple services that need to consume messages in an AWS environment then there's really no substitute for SNS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazon SNS review for small SaaS app"

4/5

What do you like best about Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)?

Reliable. I don't seem to get any dropped messages (APNS). Integration wasn't too cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)?

API could be more versatile. Subscriber lookup in particular. Dashboard is also not very intuitive in places. Particularly, the SNS dashboard and the broader AWS dashboard (which lets you do some SNS configuration) don't jive together 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS):

It fills the gap. Plan your implementation; depending on your app it may take longer than you plan. I feel the developer resources are not as well-developed as some other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a replacement for Parse Push when it went away. For me this is solving APNS delivery and topic subscription. In the future it will be nice to be able to add GCM messaging and deliver them both from the same platform. Also may eventually want to move more of my stack to AWS, and there are no shortage of available services for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
