If you are utilizing mobile push, email, or SMS for marketing reasons, Amazon Pinpoint is amazing. If you are utilizing Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud as your backend system, then the support all can come from one place, which makes troubleshooting easier. We use Amazon Pinpoint in order to send billions of emails. Most notable is the use for password reset.

  • The free version has some limitations that make an accurate evaluation difficult, every day at midnight the data is flushed and you start over.
  • If you are purchasing the appliance, you won't have admin access to it.
  • Reporting could use some polished graphics and advance filtering features.

Amazon Pinpoint is way easier to use than Adobe Campaign and cheaper than Salesforce. Great solution with easy AWS integration for a non-beatable price. When you think about the integration that you need to use with a third-party application and all the backend software installs, you can see why being able to use the AWS API to make calls to Amazon Pinpoint directly would be a way more feasible solution if you're using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud already.

Scrutinizer is a faster and simpler deployment while still delivering the tools and reports needed to gain accurate view traffic and network usage. Its cheaper than most alternatives and daily use is focused on understanding data, not making config changes so you can understand data. Risk reduction and elimination is the primary focus, Scrutinizer helps you do that.
