A free solution that provides notifications via emails and provides users with great monitoring services

I don't mind if, in the future, Amazon SNS plans to provide any future configuration from AWS at a good price. In the future, there needs to be an update in Amazon SNS. If you are going to initiate Amazon SNS configuration and set up the tool in your organization, the configuration phase is carried out one by one. For example, if I get 50 servers, I have to go through the configuration phase and initiate the Amazon SNS topic, for which you need to provide a proper SNS configuration that could take a lot of time. I expect Amazon SNS to provide some capabilities to allow the configuration process to be done in a single script. Amazon SNS needs to provide a bulk uploading system to users in the future.

Can be fed information from existing database tables, JMS feeds, PL/SQL, BPM and SOA projects.

Aside from the normal bug fixes that were in the previous release, Oracle BAM 12.2.1.(3) is a great improvement. Customers using Oracle BAM 12.1.3 should consider upgrading to 12.2.1.(3). The three primary reasons I would give a customer to encourage them to upgrade are: 1. End user dashboard responsiveness has been performance vastly improved. 2. It is easy to detect trends and have Oracle BAM automatically send notifications due to its integration with Oracle Stream Analytics. This means Non-technical people can create queries and alerts based on pre-built templates such as: * Top N Template - e.g., provide a rolling window of a specified number of items (e.g., order amounts) over a specified period of time * Trending Detection Template - e.g., detect when order processing time in a specified rolling window of time is trending down by x% then output the time and trending values * Duplicate Detection Template - e.g., If duplicate values are detected for a supplier and requester over a specified rolling window of time, the duplicated output is output * KPI Alert Template - e.g., send an alert if processing time over the last specified time period is not within the previous average +/- standard deviation * Missing Event Template - e.g., when an EDI file is submitted and the response is not received within a time specified, an alert can be fired * Moving Aggregation Template - e.g., the moving average of dropped calls over a rolling window of time exceeds a certain amount then send an alert. 3. It might seem like a small thing, but list views can now be used to export to a CSV file. Other improvements that I have already found useful include: * It is not always possible to build BAM queries declaratively. When this is the case, you can now create your own pre-defined SQL queries * The data objects can now be on a purge schedule automatically using Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Manager * Data objects can now be joined using Inner or Left Outer Joins * Some widgets now support zoom

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Amazon SNS has SMS notifications as well. Most of the other solutions have only email notifications."

"Stability has been good for us. It is quite high."

"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."

"It's a simple communication service that allows us to communicate with customers."

"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."

"We see ROI because we use the features that help us and make our product work better."

"The initial setup of Amazon SNS was easy."

More Amazon SNS pros

"Oracle BAM's ability to be fed information from a variety of sources that include existing database tables, JMS feeds, PL/SQL, BPM and SOA projects, along with its synergy with other Oracle products, makes it an excellent fit for Oracle shops."

"It provides automatic sending of alerts for the monitoring of the business, and it is a feature which works and is very valuable to the organization."

"This tool gave us the capacity to understand how our personnel is managing priorities and how these priorities affect our business."

Cons

"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."

"We would like the integration with third party applications to be improved within this solution."

"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."

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

"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."

"There needs to be more documentation on the integration with different platforms."

"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."

"There needs to be more documentation on the integration with different platforms."

More Amazon SNS cons

"Bugs are in every product and this is no exception."

"Sometimes creating a new measurement could be difficult."

"There were so many bugs and restrictions that were sold as "characteristics"."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The pricing is very cheap."

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

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

"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."

"One can use the tool for free."

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

BAM

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).

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (Oracle BAM) gives business users the ability to create their own dashboards and monitor their business services and processes in the enterprise. Oracle BAM supports both "active" real-time, changing dashboards that update without having to refresh the browser and also "tactical" dashboards that allow a user to change parameters to see a new perspective of the data without having to develop a database query.
