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.""Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker.""I cannot send a message to multiple people simultaneously. It can only be sent to one recipient.""There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received.""Support could be improved.""Be cautious around pay-as-you-use licensing as costs can become expensive.""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."

More Amazon SQS Cons →

"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux.""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.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand.""The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers.""The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness.""The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage.""The availability could be better.""The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."

    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.
