Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)

We use SNS to send out emails and text notifications. The majority of our uses are to send out One Time Passwords through our online application process. SNS is an inexpensive and safe way to send out a high volume of these codes. SNS was also very straightforward to implement.
  • Sending Text messages
  • Ensuring test message compliance with 10 digit numbers.
  • Notifying us when certain providers are down.
  • Transactional messaging for our OTPs
  • SNS is a lot cheaper per message costs than the competitors. It's allowed us to save money on our OTP transactions.
  • SNS is a very stable platform. When we have issues with our OTP, it's almost never an issue with the actual service uptime.
SNS is much cheaper and easier to integrate.
