The best service available with easy message flow and a pay-as-you-go model

Messages easily flow from publisher or application to subscriber. You can also flow messages from publisher to SNS with an https-like mediator. Amazon SQS is there, so message queue services are also there. The message transports to the service provider such as Redshift, the SQ bucket, Teams, Splunk, or any other message service. The solution has no up-front costs. Messages flow much more quickly than in the past. They used to run a bit late after being published.

A value-for-money solution with the requisite features to facilitate efficient communication within an organization

We have been struggling with the stability of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service (EMS), but now I don't know how to differentiate whether the issues are caused by the infrastructure or the product itself. So, I am hesitant to provide a rating because I suspect that it might be due to my setup or environment. I really don't know how to evaluate the product independently. We have faced challenges with EMS, but I am unsure if it is related to infrastructure or the product itself. Even if I reach out for support, I am uncertain if the issue will be resolved since it could be partly related to the product. It's a tough situation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."

"The integration between the features is excellent."

"We have found the key feature of this solution to be the simplicity of sending out notifications."

"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."

"The initial setup of Amazon SNS was easy."

"Messages easily flow from publisher or application to subscriber."

More Amazon SNS pros

"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."

"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."

"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."

"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."

"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."

"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."

"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."

"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."

Cons

"Messages should flow through a gateway without the need for a mediator."

"The tool needs to have direct integration with AvPro."

"I recently worked with Firebase, and it provides an option to create a marketing campaign with a title and a specific image to inform our audience about something. We just design the campaign and then use the push notifications. It would be good if Amazon also adds a similar feature."

"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."

"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."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to have better customer support for SNS. We can then manage it very easily."

"I expect Amazon SNS to provide some capabilities to allow the configuration process to be done in a single script."

"There could be more integration with other solutions."

More Amazon SNS cons

"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."

"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."

"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."

"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."

"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon SNS is cheap and I would rate it a three out of ten. The pricing is usage-based."

"One can use the tool for free."

"The pricing of push notifications and everything is quite fair. If you are using FCM under the hood, it is completely free. When you are using push notification on SMS, it is just a nominal price that you need to pay. SMS services are a lot more costly. It is because we don't have proper providers in India. That's why it gets a lot more costly in terms of SMS. This is the reason why we don't use SMS services from SNS itself. We use other third-party services like SMS Horizon. We use a third-party service for email services. It is almost free. It is just around $1 a month. Configuring Lambda is also quite cheap. You only pay for the Lambda usage. You don't pay for SNS itself."

"It is the cheapest solution in the market. It is on a monthly basis. After a month, you are build based on your usage. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"Their pricing is competitive. I would rate the cost four out of five."

"The solution has no up-front costs because you pay based on the number of messages you publish."

"The pricing is very cheap."

"The cost of licensing is very high. One should go for the product only if they need to ensure message reliability and they cannot afford to lose messages."

"In our case, we didn't pay for each product separately. We simply paid for all those companies that provided the components."

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

TIBCO

Overview

Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) is a highly available, durable, secure, fully managed pub/sub messaging service that enables you to decouple microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. Amazon SNS provides topics for high-throughput, push-based, many-to-many messaging. Using Amazon SNS topics, your publisher systems can fan out messages to a large number of subscriber endpoints for parallel processing, including Amazon SQS queues, AWS Lambda functions, and HTTP/S webhooks. Additionally, SNS can be used to fan out notifications to end users using mobile push, SMS, and email.

You can get started with Amazon SNS in minutes by using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or AWS Software Development Kit (SDK).

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is a standards-based messaging solution that can serve as the backbone of an SOA by providing Java Message Service (JMS) compliant communications across a wide range of platforms and application technologies.
