Notify.Events vs Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS): Which is a better fit?

They have amazing services and lots of integration with multiple communications channels, they have good user interface, you can use it without extensive technical expertise.

Initially, the platform may have a slight disadvantage, particularly for users who are not familiar with similar notification management tools.

Overall, this app has helped me stay on top of everything, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect notification management platform.

Sometimes the notifications were delayed or not delivered at all. The lack of a reliable support system is also a con of Notify.events.

With the ability to schedule notifications based on the local time zones of my recipients, I'm confident that messages are delivered at the most suitable times, regardless of where they are located.

Sometimes, there may be a brief delay in receiving the SMS. Other than that, I haven't been able to discover any yet.

It is a desirable solution for people or organisations wishing to simplify their notification procedures because to its adaptability, simplicity of use, and customisation possibilities.

Integrating needs lot of time and is difficult for new users.

Pricing is great considering the amount of functionalities it provide. Provides nearly realtime delivery which is very important for critical time sensitive applications.

The biggest con I have with SNS is that there is no way to store the sent messages, making it costly and hard to implement when something goes wrong and you need to resend all the previous messages.

The best feature I most like about SNS is its on-time alert notification and if there is one message already there. Then the SNS queue will start and works on the First in first-out perspective.

At times there are cases were few notifications are lost when the s3 trigger event was set up to throw the notification when the file arrives.

I'm impressed with its reliability and ease of use.

It has hard limits on the number and size of messages per second. It is difficult to decide whether to use SNS and SQS or, for example, EventBridge.

The SNS is great at integration. The services is almost able to interact with all the other AWS services and able to get the notifications for them and deliver the same to the users.

They need to work on it because many of our clients stop using it because of price issues.
