SNS Review

What do you like best? The ability to send messages to a large group of people through multiple APIs. This makes it a cost effective way to get a message out via mobile or email. It seemed very reliable when used. What do you dislike? No major complaints when I used it, except maybe too many notifications. SNS works with so many subscribers that they work well with multiple PNS. Recommendations to others considering the product: Since it can be used through an app or on a ...

Feels more complicated than it needs to be

What do you like best? I love that I can send notifications to my team's Stride chats when there is a deploy, error report, etc What do you dislike? When settings up "alert" notifications, it's not always clear what the service/notifier is for. They use their "unique" AWS naming structure - so I setup notifications for what I believed were "downtime notices" - but they did nothing. It took a long time to get anything useful in place. What problems are you solving with the ...

Email hosting rocks through AWS

What do you like best? absolutely it is the uptime that makes a huge difference. Many of my clients depend on me to be able to give the best out there. If I can't they will find someone who will. What do you dislike? The price is a bit steep given some of the other solutions out there. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have seen its easier for my staff.

New to the service but satisfied

What do you like best? While relatively new to the service, it's been effective in letting us send out notifications to groups What do you dislike? The inability to recall a message that was sent out incorrectly. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? With only recently using the service the benefits have not yet been realized but the goal was to offer an effective tool to send notifications out to a variety of groups

Amazon SNS is a great solution for email

What do you like best? The uptime and reliability has never been an issue and is what keeps us using it. What do you dislike?

It is very reliable and we haven't had any issues with it.

Thoughts About the Amazon Simple Notification Service

What do you like best? Others can subscribe to the topics and they will get messages pushed to them. Messages can be pushed over HTTP or SMTP (email). Using access control policies one can control who is allowed to subscribe to a topic. The SNS system is redundant and retries message delivery if necessary. The cost at volume is $0.06 per 100,000 messages published and $0.06 per 100,000 HTTP message pushes. Email pushes cost 33x more. Good news is the first 100,000 messages ...

Super easy way to subscribe to alerts

What do you like best? It's basically no cost to setup a system where anyone in the company can subscribe to notifications about our ETL workflow What do you dislike? There is nothing I dislike. The service has never gone down or given us any problems. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Various people and services need to be notified of events that occur in our ETL pipeline and SNS makes that easy.

SNS is the easiest way to send mail and so much more

What do you like best? SNS is super easy to set up. Way easier than a mail server! You can be up and running in as little as 5 minutes... okay maybe like 10 to 15 if you want to make sure everything is setup correctly.... What do you dislike? I dislike the fact that sometimes SNS is blocked by providers and you need to get your own elastic IP, but I wish they could give you more than 1. Recommendations to others considering the product: I recommend using SNS so you don't have to ...
