We performed a comparison between ActiveMQ and Amazon SQS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Queue (MQ) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I'm impressed, I think that Active MQ is great."
"The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"The most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration."
"I appreciate many features including queue, topic, durable topic, and selectors. I also value a different support for different protocols such as MQTT and AMQP. It has full support for EIP, REST, Message Groups, UDP, and TCP."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding."
"There is no setup just some easy configuration required."
"With SQS, we can trigger events in various cloud environments. It offers numerous benefits for us."
"One of the useful features is the ability to schedule a call after a certain number of messages accumulate in the container. For example, if there are ten messages in the container, you can perform a specific action."
"I appreciate that Amazon SQS is fully integrated with Amazon and can be accessed through normal functions or serverless functions, making it very user-friendly. Additionally, the features are comparable to those of other solutions."
"SQS is very stable, and it has lots of features."
"The solution is easy to scale and cost-effective."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The libraries that connect and manage the queues are rich in features."
"I would like the tool to improve compliance and stability. We will encounter issues while using the central applications. In the solution's future releases, I want to control and set limitations for databases."
"I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We"
"The clustering for sure needs improvement. When we were using it, the only thing available was an active/passive relationship that had to be maintained via shared file storage. That model includes a single point of failure in that storage medium."
"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."
"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"It would be great if it is included as part of the solution, as Kafka is doing. Even though the use case of Kafka is different, If something like data extraction is possible, or if we can experiment with partition tolerance and other such things, that will be great."
"The tool needs to improve its installation part which is lengthy. The product is already working on that aspect so that the complete installation gets completed within a month."
"Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle."
"The current visibility timeout of five minutes is okay. However, I'd like to explore the possibility of extending it for specific use cases."
"There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received."
"Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker."
"The initial setup of Amazon SQS is in the middle range of difficulty. You need to learn Amazon AWS and know how to navigate, create resources, and structures, and provide rules."
"The tool needs improvement in user-friendliness and discoverability."
"The solution is not available on-premises so that rules out any customers looking for the messaging solution on-premises."
"Sometimes, we have to switch to another component similar to SQS because the patching tool for SQS is relatively slow for us."
"I cannot send a message to multiple people simultaneously. It can only be sent to one recipient."
