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

More Amazon SQS Pros →

"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful.""The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load.""The use of ACK is valuable.""The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components.""Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk.""Good interface, simple to use and stable.""It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup.""The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."

Cons
"The solution is not available on-premises so that rules out any customers looking for the messaging solution on-premises.""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.""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.""There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received.""Sometimes, we have to switch to another component similar to SQS because the patching tool for SQS is relatively slow for us.""It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues.""Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker.""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."

More Amazon SQS Cons →

"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved.""The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more.""The product does not provide a priority level for the message.""The customer service is not good enough""Information on monitoring could be improved.""It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved.""When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward.""Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."

    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.

    Anypoint MQ is an enterprise multi-tenant, cloud messaging service that performs advanced asynchronous messaging scenarios between applications. Anypoint MQ is fully integrated with Anypoint Platform, offering role based access control, client application management, and connectors.

    Anypoint MQ supports hybrid use cases, IoT where you collect data from different devices, and a REST API you can use with device applications. You can also use Anypoint MQ with other application frameworks such as node.js, to communicate to queues.
