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."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."
"It's very quick and easy to build or set up Amazon SQS."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SQS is the interface."
"We use the tool in interface integrations."
"I am able to find out what's going on very easily."
"It is stable and scalable."
"The solution is easy to scale and cost-effective."
"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 most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"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."
"Support could be improved."
"It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues."
"The tool needs improvement in user-friendliness and discoverability."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
