What do you like best about the product?

We use Ably to send out push notifications and rely on it quite heavily. We decided to go with Ably years ago to avoid having to build or manage it ourselves. It was very easy to set up and reasonable when it came to pricing, so we decided to go for "buy" rather than "build.

Years later, we still use Ably for all push notifications. Initially, we thought we'd use Ably until the cost started to increase and it would be worth managing the push notification service ourselves. But the fact that we don't have to worry about them, and that the price increase due to increased traffic has been reasonable has made it that it's still not a priority Today.

What do you dislike about the product?

Of course, we'd love to see lower prices, but the ease of mind we get for it makes it worth the money.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our application has many async processes as they often take a fair amount of time (optimization problems, data processing) or are related to real time events. Ably allows us to give our customers the experience they are looking for, always with the latest information, always on top of things.
