Pros
"It's very quick and easy to build or set up Amazon SQS.""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.""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.""I am able to find out what's going on very easily.""The most valuable feature of Amazon SQS is the interface.""With SQS, we can trigger events in various cloud environments. It offers numerous benefits for us.""There is no setup just some easy configuration required.""SQS is very stable, and it has lots of features."

Cons
"There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received.""The current visibility timeout of five minutes is okay. However, I'd like to explore the possibility of extending it for specific use cases.""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.""The tool needs improvement in user-friendliness and discoverability.""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.""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."

More Amazon SQS Cons →

"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product.""When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use.""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.""The product is pretty hard to configure.""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.""The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage.""The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues.""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.
