Automated event monitoring has improved alerting and simplifies scheduling for data workflows
The best features Amazon EventBridge offers include the ability to integrate multiple AWS services such as SNS, Lambda, SQS, and ECS with Amazon EventBridge. You can filter events based on routing rules, and it is serverless and easy to auto-scale. You can also manage event routing across cross-accounts and schedule cron jobs inside Amazon EventBridge, which provides numerous use cases. The impact of Amazon EventBridge on my organization is very positive. I can directly receive notifications via Amazon EventBridge because I have integrated my Redshift queries inside my JSON payload, and I receive notifications over email as well as over Squadcast based on the events triggered from the Redshift side. Amazon EventBridge helps reduce manual work significantly. Previously, when I did not receive Redshift events and my Redshift query got stuck, which mainly happened during maintenance time and impacted the customer side, I had no way to address it. By monitoring those Redshift query events inside Amazon EventBridge, I can receive timely alerts via Squadcast, allowing me to monitor and fix the respective issues with the help of the Redshift data team.

Messaging design has become visual and reliable and now supports fast microservice communication
The unique functions I appreciate about PubSub+ Platform are that it allows me to design my solution in a graphical manner, which is not available in many other products, and the design can also be pushed to the actual infrastructure layer, making it quite advantageous. Mesh technology is useful in scenarios where different geographies have to be connected, although such situations are not commonly found. It is beneficial but not a super-used feature of PubSub+ Platform. The event replay function is quite mature in PubSub+ Platform, allowing me to replay messages that are days in the past, which is a good feature. The main benefits PubSub+ Platform provides for the end-user include building a robust and scalable system with very low network latency, which improves the customer experience, whether using mobile phones or applications. This type of messaging framework is extremely important, and Solace is a very good product in that space. Nowadays, most applications are built using microservices technology, with small microservices interchanging messages via PubSub+ Platform. Without it, realizing a scalable system would not be possible; for example, one cannot have Netflix or similar services that require quick data transit and a good user experience, ensuring that data cannot be lost in transit. The analytics part of PubSub+ Platform is quite useful as it can connect with many analytical software tools, mainly for analysis of system logs, such as Splunk, DataDog, or Prometheus. It has the flexibility to connect with any of these and supports OpenTelemetry, which is not available in many other products, making traceability very easy. I can see how a message travels from a source system to the target system, end-to-end, along with what happens to that message along the path, making the analytics quite good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"Amazon EventBridge allows for customization at my level, providing many options for determining which services are dependent, what account to use, and when the Lambda will trigger."
"The best aspect of Amazon EventBridge is that it supports filtering options."
"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"The impact of Amazon EventBridge on my organization is very positive."
"In my assessment of Solace against other products — as I was responsible for evaluating various products and bringing the right tool into companies in the past — I worked with multiple platforms like RabbitMQ, Confluent, Kafka, and various other tools in the market. But I found the event mesh capability to be a very interesting as well as fulfilling capability, towards what we want to achieve from a digital-integration-strategy point of view... It's distributed, yet it is intelligently connected. It can also span and I can plug and play any number of brokers into the event mesh, so it's a great deal. That's a differentiator."
"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."
"Capital markets couldn't operate today if Solace were down."
"The way we can replicate information and send it to several subscribers is most valuable."
"The valuable feature of PubSub+ Event Broker is the speed of processing, publishing, and consumption."
"The best features of PubSub+ Platform include being highly scalable, allowing us to handle billions and billions of events, and configuring and managing PubSub+ Platform is straightforward and simple while being highly reliable."
"With all these new features in place it increases our productivity by something like 50 percent."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would rate the stability eight out of ten because sometimes I need to monitor EventBridge since there are occasions where it is not triggering."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"Amazon EventBridge can be improved as there are numerous use cases, but it is not able to handle as many events as compared to other tools such as Kafka or RabbitMQ."
"Potential areas for improvement in PubSub+ Platform are its authentication mechanisms, which could be slightly better."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the message pooling size for persistent messages to handle both small and large messages effectively."
"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."
"Additional in-line information about certain things on PubSub+ Platform could be more beneficial for new users who are just starting to use this technology."
"Some improvement is required with Solace professional services. The professional services really needs to drive the solutions for the customers and share best practices."
"We have requested to be able to get into the payload to do dynamic topic hierarchy building. A current workaround is using the message's header, where the business data can be put into this header and be used for a dynamic topic lookup. I want to see this in action when there are a couple of hundred cases live. E.g., how does it perform? From an administration perspective, is the ease of use there?"
"It could be cheaper. It could also have easier usage. It is a brilliant product, but it is quite complex to use."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"It could be cheaper. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The pricing and licensing were very transparent and well-communicated by our account manager."
"I would rate the product's pricing a ten out of ten."
