Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)
I used to use AWS SNS for sending text messages for transactional messages. Now I use SNS for sending alerts from our dashboards. SNS is very versatile and there are a lot of features you can use as well as benefits of setting up the subscriptions from the back end. We use Terragrunt to easily upload all our data
Pros
- Easy GUI to use
- Integration with automation
- Integration with third party platforms
- Daily reports
- Ability to have subscriptions and topics
- Ability to connect to third party applications
Cons
- Errors are hard to debug
- Lack of verbose errors
- Subscriptions and topics
- Email and SMS
- SDK integration
- Integration with Grafana
- Ability to see when our services are down
- Ability to alert based on number of occurrences
- Clients awareness through alerting
I worked with Adobe Campaign 2 years ago and comparatively, SNS is way better and easier to integrate with. There's a lack of latency with SNS and better customer support. Easier to group with subscriptions and easier to work from the command line with the use of the SDK. All in all a superior product
