Triggers events in various cloud environments and provides integration with AWS KMS
Generally, we use it for asynchronous communication. We have actively utilized it for the past three years. Basically, we use it to exchange events and messages when we need communication and integration in our architecture Amazon SQS has provided us with a better experience, better performance,…

Management interface is cool and offers good features like dead-lettering (DLXs) and more
I like many features in RabbitMQ. Number one, reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff. Number two, they have a very good feature called Retrying messages – it's all about retries. You can easily retry a message through RabbitMQ. So, if processing fails, you can push the message back into RabbitMQ. Maybe you can re-consume it and so on. They also have features like tags, which we call "dead-lettering (DLXs)." If it's approved, it means the messages have been delivered. If it's false or missing the first time you get it, you can make decisions based on that. The feature assigned to code for it is called the dead-letter queue. Moreover, the management interface is so cool. It's simple. It's able to give us an overview of the messages that have been consumed, pending messages, messages that have been delivered, messages that have been acknowledged, and so on. We can also extend that management to tools like... we can extend the management through, like, Kibana or Grafana

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is stable and scalable."
"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 am able to find out what's going on very easily."
"The solution is easy to scale and cost-effective."
"I think the tool is very reliable."
"We use Amazon SQS for notifying, queuing servers, queuing messages, and notifying the people for alerting systems."
"We use the tool in interface integrations."
"SQS is very stable, and it has lots of features."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"The solution can scale."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Sending or receiving messages takes some time, and it could be quicker."
"There are some issues with SQS's transaction queue regarding knowing if something has been received."
"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."
"Support could be improved."
"Be cautious around pay-as-you-use licensing as costs can become expensive."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is pay-as-you-use. It depends on your usage and configuration."
"Amazon SQS is more affordable compared to other solutions."
"Amazon SQS is moderately priced."
"The pricing of Amazon SQS is reasonable. The first million requests are free every month, and after, it's cost 40 cents for every million requests. There are not any additional fees."
"Compared to the other options and based on what I have heard, Amazon SQS is relatively more expensive, but it is not insanely expensive."
"It's quite expensive."
"SQS's pricing is very good - I would rate it nine out of ten."
"Compared to EC2 and other services, Amazon SQS' pricing is cheaper."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"This is an open source solution."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
