Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)
Amazon SNS is used to communicate simple notifications across different scenarios, using emails and SMS. It addresses the problem of notifying different states for example in cloud instances, so we don't need to check each one manually. Also, it is very easy to integrate into your workflow, as it communicates fluently with other AWS Services.
- Simple
- Easy
- Good Integration
- Hard to debug
- Email format
- Weak dashboard
- Proprietary API
- Minimum manual revision
- SMS to automate sign up
- Less work to developers
The main reason we chose Amazon SNS is for easy integration with all the workflows in AWS. The other alternatives can be (and really are) best in specific points, but the main strength of SNS is that is one service of AWS, so we don't need to complicate things in our developments.
