We performed a comparison between Amazon SQS and Redis 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."The solution is easy to scale and cost-effective."
"I am able to find out what's going on very easily."
"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."
"We use SNS as the publisher, and our procurement service subscribes to those events using SQS. In the past, we relied on time-based or batch-based processes to send data between services on-premises. With SQS, we can trigger actions based on real-time changes in business processes, improving reliability."
"We use the tool in interface integrations."
"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."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The libraries that connect and manage the queues are rich in features."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."
"Redis is better tested and is used by large companies. I haven't found a direct alternative to what Redis offers. Plus, there are a lot of support and learning resources available, which help you use Redis efficiently."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"Sometimes, we have to switch to another component similar to SQS because the patching tool for SQS is relatively slow for us."
"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."
"It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues."
"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 current visibility timeout of five minutes is okay. However, I'd like to explore the possibility of extending it for specific use cases."
"Be cautious around pay-as-you-use licensing as costs can become expensive."
"Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
"I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
