We performed a comparison between Amazon EventBridge and Amazon SNS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"The mobile push notifications are the most valuable. Previously, we used to use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for this functionality. It is a Google service for sending push notifications. Android did not have a good service for sending push notifications, but now, Amazon SNS integrates with FCM. Under the road, it is actually using FCM, but we can see all the metrics on our AW service itself, which makes it a lot easier instead of using a third-party service for this particular functionality."
"The integration between the features is excellent."
"Push notifications are the most valuable. I have mostly used push notifications for my system. Amazon SNS supports all devices for push notification services. It supports iOS, Android, and Windows notifications. It provides reliable push notification services. We have queues, and we can track which notifications have failed or had some issues. We can then figure out the issue. We can also debug the issue because of which our push notification didn't reach the end users."
"Amazon SNS has SMS notifications as well. Most of the other solutions have only email notifications."
"It's a simple communication service that allows us to communicate with customers."
"Messages easily flow from publisher or application to subscriber."
"The best aspect of this solution is its simplicity. We just have to create topics and can have as many subscriptions as we want under any topic we create."
"Stability has been good for us. It is quite high."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"Amazon EventBridge doesn't have the feature of event replay."
"Currently, it only supports triggering one job at a time. It would be helpful if it could handle multiple jobs or triggers simultaneously. What I mean is that currently, we can only perform one job at a time."
"A major issue with AWS as a whole is that it has a lot of services that do the same thing, and people get confused about which one to use in which scenario. Previously, we used to use SNS for connecting microservices. SNS has around six types of subscribers. We can subscribe to Lambda, HTTP, HTTPS, SMS, email, and push notifications. We used to use HTTP endpoints and Lambda for connecting to microservice systems. Now we have something called EventBridge, which actually does that for you. For connecting to services, we should just use EventBridge rather than SQS, SNS. I hear a lot of complaints from people wherein they do not understand when to use EventBridge and when to use SQS, SNS. They can remove these features so that it doesn't confuse users about when to use SQS, SNS, or EventBridge."
"There could be more integration with other solutions."
"I expect Amazon SNS to provide some capabilities to allow the configuration process to be done in a single script."
"Messages should flow through a gateway without the need for a mediator."
"We would like to have the option when someone leaves the organization or moves to another team, to remove notifications. Currently this needs to be done manually by the company admin."
"The tool needs to have direct integration with AvPro."
"In terms of improvement, I would like to have better customer support for SNS. We can then manage it very easily."
"In future releases, I want to see if the platforms that SMS can reach. It would be a good way to improve it. More platforms to be able to use it."
