Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is easy to scale and cost-effective.""It's very quick and easy to build or set up Amazon SQS.""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.""SQS is very stable, and it has lots of features.""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.""The libraries that connect and manage the queues are rich in features.""I am able to find out what's going on very easily."

"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs.""The product's feature of data transaction works fast.""RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase.""The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources.""We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell.""I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols.""The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network.""The solution can scale."

Cons
"It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues.""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.""Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker.""As a company that uses IBM solutions, it's difficult to compare Amazon SQS to other solutions. We have been using IBM solutions for a long time and they are very mature in integration and queuing. In my role as an integration manager, I can say that Amazon SQS is designed primarily for use within the Amazon ecosystem and does not have the same level of functionality as IBM MQ or other similar products. It has limited connectivity options and does not easily integrate with legacy systems.""Support could be improved.""There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received.""The tool needs improvement in user-friendliness and discoverability."

More Amazon SQS Cons →

"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages.""I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting.""The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles.""The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand.""The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage.""When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use.""They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."

    Overview

    Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS eliminates the complexity and overhead associated with managing and operating message oriented middleware, and empowers developers to focus on differentiating work. Using SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available. Get started with SQS in minutes using the AWS console, Command Line Interface or SDK of your choice, and three simple commands.

    SQS offers two types of message queues. Standard queues offer maximum throughput, best-effort ordering, and at-least-once delivery. SQS FIFO queues are designed to guarantee that messages are processed exactly once, in the exact order that they are sent.

    RabbitMQ is the most popular open source message broker, with more than 35,000 production deployments world-wide. RabbitMQ is lightweight and easy to deploy on premises and in the cloud and runs on all major operating systems. It supports most developer platforms, multiple messaging protocols and can be deployed in distributed and federated configurations to meet high-scale, high-availability requirements.
