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."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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to scale and cost-effective."
"I am able to find out what's going on very easily."
"With SQS, we can trigger events in various cloud environments. It offers numerous benefits for us."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SQS is the interface."
"SQS is very stable, and it has lots of features."
"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."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"Support could be improved."
"Be cautious around pay-as-you-use licensing as costs can become expensive."
"There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received."
"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."
"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."
"I do not think that this solution is easy to use and the documentation of this solution has a lot of problems and can be improved in the next release. Most of the time, the images in the document are from older versions."
"I cannot send a message to multiple people simultaneously. It can only be sent to one recipient."
"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."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"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 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."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
