Featured Reviews

Rahul Siddu - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows automatic notifications for events and stable performance
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. For example, if I want to schedule a job at 12 o'clock, I can only schedule one job at that specific time. If I want to perform multiple jobs simultaneously, let's say sending a notification and starting a task at 12 o'clock, I can't do that with the current system. It only allows one job at a time. In future releases, I would like to see specifically multiple jobs at the same instance of time and multiple triggers simultaneously.

Performs well, high availability, and helpful support
We use approximately four people for the maintenance of the solution. My advice to others is this solution has high throughput and is used for many stock exchanges. For business critical use cases, such as processing financial transactions at a quick speed, I would recommend this solution. I rate PubSub+ Event Broker an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"When it comes to granularity, you can literally do anything regarding how the filtering works."
"We like the seamless flexibility in protocol exchange offering without writing a code."
"The most valuable feature of PubSub+ Event Broker is the scaling integration. Prior to using the solution, it was done manually with a file, and it can be done instantly live."
"The way we can replicate information and send it to several subscribers is most valuable. It can be used for any kind of business where you've got multiple users who need information. Any company, such as LinkedIn, with a huge number of subscribers and any business, such as publishing, supermarket, airline, or shipping can use it."
"The topic hierarchy is pretty flexible. Once you have the subject defined just about anybody who knows Java can come onboard. The APIs are all there."
"Guaranteed Messaging allows for us to transport messages between on-prem and the cloud without any loss of data."
"One of the main reasons for using PubSub+ is that it is a proper event manager that can handle events in a reactive way."
"Going from something where we had outages and capacity issues constantly to a system that was able to scale with the massive market data and messaging spikes that happened during the initial stages of the COVID crisis in March, we were able to scale with 40 plus percent growth in our platform over the course of days."
 

Cons

"Amazon EventBridge doesn't have the feature of event replay."
"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"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."
"It could be cheaper. It could also have easier usage. It is a brilliant product, but it is quite complex to use."
"I would like them to design topic and queue schemas, mapping them to the enterprise data structure."
"The deployment process is complex."
"The integrations could improve in PubSub+ Event Broker."
"For improvements, I would suggest increasing the max payload size to a limit of 100MB or more. The current max payload size is limited to 5MB."
"The licensing and the cost are the major pitfalls."
"The ease of management could be approved. The GUI is very good, but to configure and manage these devices programmatically in the software version is not easy. For example, if I would like to spin up a new software broker, then I could in theory use the API, but it would require a considerable amount of development effort to do so. There should be a tool, or something that Solace supports, that we could use for this, e.g., a platform like Terraform where we could use infrastructure as code to configure our source appliances."
"We've pointed out some things with the DMR piece, the event mesh, in edge cases where we could see a problem. Something like 99 percent of users wouldn't ever see this problem, but it has to do with if you get multiple bad clients sending data over a WAN, for example. That could then impact other clients."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon EventBridge's pricing is pretty cheap."
"Having a free version of the solution was a big, important part of our decision to go with it. This was the big driver for us to evaluate Solace. We started using it as the free version. When we felt comfortable with the free version, that is when we bought the enterprise version."
"We are looking for something that will add value and fit for purpose. Freeware is good if you want to try something quickly without putting in much money. However, as far as our decision is concerned, I don't think it helps. At the end of the day, if we are convinced that a capability is required, we will ask for the funding. Then, when the funding is available, we will go for an enterprise solution only."
"There are different tiers where you can choose what would work for you. As a customer, you need to know roughly how many messages a month you will use."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The price of PubSub+ Event Broker is reasonable for the capability it offers. However, when compared to others solutions on the market it is expensive."
"The licensing is dependent on the volume that is flowing. If you go for their support services, it will cost some more money, but I think it is worth it, especially if you are just starting your journey."
"The pricing and licensing were very transparent and well-communicated by our account manager."
"We have been really happy with the product licensing rates. It has been free for us, up to a 100,000 transactions per second, and all we have to do is pay for support. Making their product available and accessible to us has not been a problem at all."
