Reduced manual work and built reliable real-time collaboration with serverless messaging
I love Ably for its advanced pub/sub messaging capabilities, which help us with messaging Delta Compression, allowing us to send only changes from previous messages instead of entire payloads every time. For example, if I have to say 'hi', instead of sending the whole payload, it only sends the change in the current payload, reducing bandwidth consumption and enabling high-frequency data streaming. This major change has made our clients really happy as they receive notifications and messages without latency. Additionally, if a client goes offline, Ably stores messages in history for up to 72 hours, allowing clients to query history and catch up on missed events, ensuring complete stream continuity. It also supports multi-protocol, using WebSockets and gracefully falling back to server-sent events and long polling as needed, including support for MQTT and IoT devices along with pub/sub control for easy migration.I appreciate the serverless integration that has the integrated native web hook, instantly triggering serverless functions such as AWS Lambda and Azure Function when specific real-time events occur. It also allows Kafka Connector for seamless ingestion of messages from Kafka topics to stream them out to millions of users in milliseconds.

Recruiting has become more efficient and consistently delivers strong candidates for every role
Improvements could be made for Dice Tech Recruiting, such as verifying the profiles uploaded by individuals outside the US who are pretending to be in the USA. This would help recruiters reach out to the right candidates, potentially by adding a feature for verification with an ID. I would like to add that while I use mostly Boolean search on Dice Tech Recruiting, sometimes there are glitches resulting in irrelevant results being shown, which does not help in finding the right match. I would suggest that Dice Tech Recruiting should only provide profiles that match our searches. I believe I have covered all the suggestions I could make for improvements needed in Dice Tech Recruiting, but I remain open to suggesting additional features in the future as different scenarios may appear.

Pros

"Ably has a big capacity to stream data all over the world, has higher reliability and a 99.99% uptime, offers robust security guarantees and ease of integration, and saved at least 80% of the cost that would have required more developers and more time for integration testing and development."
"Ably has improved our organization by enhancing real-time communication capabilities and providing reliable data delivery."
"Ably's API integration is intuitive; it definitely improved our efficiency, and we saw faster user interaction and around a 20% reduction in latency during peak times, which improved user experience as well."
"Ably has positively impacted our organization by providing a good return on investment by avoiding the labor cost of building and maintaining a custom WebSocket server."
"We experience vast improvements across many areas with Ably; when users connect bank accounts, we previously had to poll repeatedly, which is now replaced by Ably's real-time infrastructure that maintains a persistent back-end connection, significantly reducing the need for infrastructure management and API load, resulting in average bank connection display times decreasing from eight to twelve seconds down to one to two seconds, and with persistent back-end connections reducing API calls, we achieve a lower operational load, seeing an impressive reduction of thirty thousand to forty thousand calls monthly."
"My most-liked feature is its highly reliable real-time messaging capacity."
"Overall, Dice Tech Recruiting is a valuable platform for technical recruiting, especially for sourcing specialized IT talent."
"Dice Tech Recruiting has positively impacted my organization as we have noticed many changes, as after investing significant money in LinkedIn RPS, we found that most requirements were fulfilled by Dice, leading us to stop purchasing LinkedIn RPS and save considerable money."
"Dice Tech Recruiting positively impacts my organization by providing faster hiring, as the turnaround time is very less and it delivers better quality resumes."
"Regarding Dice Tech Recruiting's AI capabilities, I find the accuracy to be great."

"Dice Tech Recruiting has impacted our organization positively, and we have generated a huge amount of revenue, achieving approximately 50% growth."
 

Cons

"It falls just short of a perfect ten only because full twenty-four-hour phone or live chat escalation is heavily gated behind their highest enterprise pricing tiers."
"Ably can be improved in several areas."
"Overall, Ably appears strong for managed real-time operations, but could improve areas such as pricing predictability."
"Dice Tech Recruiting could be improved by enhancing the AI feature. The AI feature needs improvement because it is not accurate; sometimes it gives matching results, and sometimes it gives zero matching results."
"My biggest frustration with Dice Tech Recruiting is that while searching with Boolean, I sometimes find irrelevant resumes, as not all skills I search for are highlighted in the profiles."
"In my experience, Dice Tech Recruiting is not stable, mainly because of the AI feature, with which I used to face some problems."
"Regarding pricing, the cost is somewhat high compared to other job portals, but the interface, flexibility of use, and user interface are excellent."
"Dice Tech Recruiting is good, though the AI part can be improved because it is not accurate."
"I would appreciate more platforms having proper job titles and skills that we need to verify."
"I would like to add that while I use mostly Boolean search on Dice Tech Recruiting, sometimes there are glitches resulting in irrelevant results being shown, which does not help in finding the right match."
"The area of improvement for Dice Tech Recruiting is the AI part, as the AI is not accurate."
