Before adopting Ably, we have made widely comparison among similar messaging facility providers. We eventually choose Ably, since it is not only better in overall score of comparing items, but also in comportable support attitude when we are contacting them for trial during evaluating.
During our product inegrating with Ably, we feel that Ably is worth adopting in these aspects particularly:
(1) It has sincerely designed client library sdk, especially in Java and JS, flexible and comprehensive. And it has detailed and easy-to-read sdk API documentation, kinds of tutorials, FAQs, experiece sharing and so on.
(2) Its technical performance is consistent with its description. Its capacity is still under rapidly expanding, its promised profits of latency, ordering, delivery, reliablity and availablity is still kept.

What do you dislike about the product?
Acutally Ably has no aspects that we very dislike. Each prodcut has its own short-comings, but we wish Ably could improve and become better.
We will feel that the handling of ably connection and channels failure and recovery is a little complex. And the message transmission time will be not very stable when transient publish is used.
Since we could not track and control internal message routing inside Ably, we sitll has the worry if Ably could ensure its stability along time, when it expands further in future.
Also We have not undergone any real incident processing in production enviroment, so we are still not sure for this aspect.

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