Amazon Simple Notification Service Pros and Cons Based on Customer Reviews

"Amazons SNS comprises a unified publishing/subscription pipeline, handling all the steps between the initial publication of a message and its final delivery point."

"is truly simple to understand and use. I have used it in conjunction with AWS S3, Step Functions, and Lambda functions."

"Push notifications of events occurring are the best scenario where Amazon Simple Notification Service is used within our stack. But because it can be integrated with different products, it bridges the gap between different communication platforms we use. Though sometimes there are more elegant ways to accomplish this, SNS is sometimes the quickest way to move forward because we are already using it."

"Availability of plugins for open-source cross-platform developer tools like many new frameworks."

"Cost of using this software with increasing subscribers is a downside of things."

"1) Reporting available is good, but there is always room to grow.2) Analytics on message origin would be beneficial.3) Increase message size limit."

AWS Makes SMS Easy.

Somewhat, it provides an easy API to send/trigger messages to the desired audience. SNS, standing for Simple Notification Service, is straightforward to understand and use. I have used it with AWS S3, Step Functions, and Lambda functions.

A Simple and best notification Service that's actually very usefull to everyone!

The main use of Amazon Simple Notification Service within our organization is to enable our different products to communicate in a subscription-based communication paradigm. We can share state information across servers in a notification style, which reduces the number of consecutive pulls or checks of a common resource, allowing our infrastructure to scale as needed.

How Amazon Simple Notification Service is better/different from its competitors?

SNS stands for Simple Notification Service while SQS stands for Simple Queue Service. SQS is a pull-based delivery, i.e., messages are not pushed to the receivers. Users have to pull the messages from the Queue. SNS is a push-based delivery, i.e., messages are pushed to multiple subscribers. In SNS service, messages are pushed to the multiple receivers at the same time while in SQS service, messages are not received by the multiple receivers at the same time. SQS polling introduces some latency in message delivery while SQS pushing pushed the messages to the subscribers immediately.

A Divine experience -Amazon SNS

The experience with Amazon SNS was amazing. Amazon, being a vast MNC, never lets down in any of its services. The promotional details were received at the right time, and the flexibility of using this application is another reason everyone should look forward to Amazon SNS.

Amazon service

The Amazon experience alone is enough to illustrate how many products and services there are. As for the notifications, they are also important, as is the monthly Amazon subscription.

Amazon Simple notification service - Ease of use

We use Amazon SNS on a day-to-day basis at work. It's very simple to use and offers great benefits. For many scenarios or events happening in the backend of the AWS environment, SNS is a great service to use to get notified about the process via SMS or email without having to follow the process and log into the environment. It also helps in sending error notifications.

Amazon simple notification Service

Overall, my experience with Amazon Simple Notification Service is good. It's really easy to set up and can be up and running in less than 5 minutes. It's a managed service that can be easily collaborated with. It offers 256 KB for published messages, which can be split into 4 chunks of 64 KB each.
