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 libraries that connect and manage the queues are rich in features."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SQS is the interface."
"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."
"We use the tool in interface integrations."
"There is no setup just some easy configuration required."
"It's very quick and easy to build or set up Amazon SQS."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"I use Redis mostly to cache repeated data that is required."
"The ability to fetch and save data quickly is valuable."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The solution is not available on-premises so that rules out any customers looking for the messaging solution on-premises."
"There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received."
"Support could be improved."
"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."
"I cannot send a message to multiple people simultaneously. It can only be sent to one recipient."
"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."
"It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues."
"The current visibility timeout of five minutes is okay. However, I'd like to explore the possibility of extending it for specific use cases."
"The tool should improve by increasing its size limits and handling dynamic data better. We use the client ID or associate it with a key for static content. The solution will not be easy for a beginner. Unless you understand SQL data, it will be difficult to understand and use Redis. It also needs to be user-friendly."
"It's actually quite expensive."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"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."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."
