Aravind Nithiyanandham - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for notifying, queuing servers, and queuing messages
I created a support ticket one or two years ago. The technical support team responded promptly and helped us with the issues. I am very much happy with the solution’s technical support. They are knowledgeable, understand our problem easily, and then figure out the issues. On a scale from one to ten, where one is bad and ten is excellent, I rate the solution’s technical support nine and a half out of ten.
Derrick Brockel - PeerSpot reviewer
The product improves site reliability, but it is not stable, and the initial deployment was a little difficult
When we had outages, we had timeouts. Sometimes, the nodes would drop out of a cluster. Therefore, the applications would get timeouts. There is a newer version out that we're planning to upgrade to for some stability. It could also be caused by our design. The product must improve its reliability. It'd be nice if nodes could drop out and notify each other in a timely manner so that the applications wouldn't know if there was a problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The libraries that connect and manage the queues are rich in features."
"The most valuable features include the ability to handle a huge number of messages and the presence of a dead letter queue."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon SQS is its event-driven invocation."
"The dead-letter queue is very helpful in maintaining the messages that come into the queue."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to decouple components."
"It works consistently and is economical under a standard non-FIFO model."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon SQS is its scalability."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"Very fast for query processing."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"The security is great."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
 

Cons

"It would be easier to have a dashboard that allows us to see everything and manage everything since we have so many queues."
"There is room for improvement in handling large-scale data."
"There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received."
"A primary area of improvement for Amazon SQS is the message size limitation, which is currently restricted to 256 kilobytes per message."
"It would be beneficial to have the ability to peek at messages currently in Amazon SQS without needing to monitor incoming messages."
"Improvement is needed in terms of troubleshooting and logs."
"For Amazon SQS, in particular, I think AWS Management Console has shortcomings. AWS Management Console should be a better pluggable option to help users with some integrations."
"There is room for improvement by making use of Kafka services to create more flexible data streams."
"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
