Fantastic Partner for Realtime Messaging
What do you like best about the product?
We have a shared Slack workspace with Ably, meaning we get live support within our usual communication channels when needed. They are very responsive and do an excellent job keeping us updated on upcoming holidays that could impact response times.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't kept our usage up to date with Ably's feature set so I feel that we're not getting the full benefit of using the platform. There is some work we'd like to do to take full advantage of all Ably has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem is handling client-side connections with reasonable fallbacks. By using Ably to handle these connections, we don't need to build that expertise internally or maintain a system to manage that concern.

Transparent way I can manage my projects, costs and a high availability API.

Ably powers Sana's realtime push communication
What do you like best about the product?
Ably provides a simple API that hides the complexity of delivering scalable and reliable push-based communication to web clients. We use Ably for syncing state updates and CRDT deltas across clients and the backend. Ably offers excellent customer support and actively engages with their clients. We've had the opportunity to provide feedback and contribute to shaping upcoming features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Ably usage limits can be difficult to understand and plan around. When hitting one of the limits, the entire plan may have to be upgraded.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ably solves the problem of building a realtime communication infrastructure required for delivering a realtime web application. This enables us to focus on feature development and shipping user value.
We use Ably realtime in highly business critical from and back end application
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent response from the team, always willing to help
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Some technical areas could be improved, and a more standard pricing model could be. Overall not much to complain.

communication between from and backend services
Reliable, easy to use service for realtime messaging
What do you like best about the product?
Ably allows us to have globaly distrubuted, reliable, realtime messaging for our application without developing it ourselves and managing all the points of presence around the world. Avoiding that opportunity cost is a huge benefit to us, it allows us to focus on our core mission.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our software platform is primarily is primarily B2B, Ably has a lot of B2C realtime capabilities that are not really applicable to our use case. That is not really an issue with Ably as such, overall we are happy with the service.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is one of our primary mechanisms for direct client to client messaging. Ably provides low latancy messaging between users, with the added benefit of having those same messages appear in our backend.
Powerful low latency solution for realtime data streaming
What do you like best about the product?
Ably Platform is developer-centric and easy to start with. Documentation is detailed enough, while Ably Realtime SDK offers native support for the most popular programming languages and platforms. The best thing about Ably is the flexibility on both the publisher and the consumer side. Ably Support is responsive and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ably Realtime has some hard limits that are not too high and could easily be hit, such as max channels per connection. Connection management is not simple, so you should be careful when designing your Ably channels naming strategy. A feature I miss and will request is to be able to optionally force consumers to subscribe with 'presence' turned on so that all consumers can easily be tracked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ably solves the problem of scalability when delivering data streams on a global level. We do not have to worry about it and can focus on delivering our core business features.
Excellent push notifications platform. Totally engaged with their customers
What do you like best about the product?
Here at Split, we use SSE services for sending updates of their feature flags to our customers. For almost three years, we have been using Ably for this and Realtime for checking our occupancy in the channels or getting metrics usage. During this time, both sides (Ably and Split) have had challenges regarding the amount of data sent, escalation, adding improvements, etc. I like the engagement of Ably team on these topics. You always respond fast, and you have been proactively having sessions with us on some sort of recommendations or getting feedback from our experience using Ably.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing critical to say here. Just be careful when you update your libraries and not using the major version to that as it happened in the past :P. We are good!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Ably for two main topics. The first one is for reducing our cost in our CDN because, in the past our customers only used polling for updating feature flags. Secondly, to get feature flags updates faster than polling.
Great & sturdy notifications streaming solution
What do you like best about the product?
The service is resilient. It can be used via HTTP/SSE, without depending on an SDK, which makes it an ideal choice for libraries that need this functionality. Customer support is outstanding
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing there to dislike. It would be nice to have more control over when/how channels are created/activated based on messages being published and subscriptors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It' keeps our SDK's targeting rules up-to-date by letting them know when changes are available. This helps us reduce traffic in our servers, and minimize the time taken for a customer's application to see their changes propagated.
Good product with excellent service
What do you like best about the product?
Ably's support has been great for us. We have a shared chat channel where all representatives from Ably are active, and they've always helped us promptly when questions and issues arise.
What do you dislike about the product?
The SDK by default throws quite a few errors that are up to the user to handle in a correct way, which makes it more complicated than expected to get to a watertight setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Realtime data communication between clients. It's great to rely on an infrastructure maintained by experts, so we can focus on other things.
It just works, it's made building a real time platform look easy.
What do you like best about the product?
It's a simple solution to a complicated problem. Install a library on both sides of the connection, and you're done.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's quite an opaque implementation; occasionally, a detail leaks out and can be confusing, but it is easily solved with the great support team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The monitoring, availability, and scalability of that part of the product problem are gone, I check the dashboard to see how it's doing and that's all I have to worry about.
