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. Secondly, we would like to separate notifications for instances when there are multiple jobs in progress and to be able to create specific alerts for new jobs that are started.
There needs to be more documentation on the integration with different platforms. For example, creating an Apple integration and learning how to build the SNS platform is difficult. The pricing can also be better.
There could be more integration with other solutions. Right now, I can communicate in five different ways within a minute. I would like there to be more options for integration, like with Slack or Microsoft Teams for example.
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.
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. Previously, we used to use SNS for connecting microservices. SNS has around six types of subscribers. We can subscribe to Lambda, HTTP, HTTPS, SMS, email, and push notifications. We used to use HTTP endpoints and Lambda for connecting to microservice systems. About a year ago, AWS released EventBridge, which is a better service for connecting microservices.
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...
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.
The tool needs to have direct integration with AvPro.
We would like the integration with third party applications to be improved within this solution.

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