The best thing about SQS is that it allowed us to get away from oracle service bus. This has saved us 6 figures in oracle licensing. We utilize SQS in every project that we do. It works great for creating appications that are not dependent on eachotehr. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some capabilities are not allowed in all regions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to do asynchronous retries is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product actually fits out needs. The dislike is that we can't acheive such functionality with other related products, which makes building workflows with SQS somewhat cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The performance and stability of Amazon SQS is superior to our other solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We experienced the possibility of duplicate messages and the additional cost to set up IAM accounts for developers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We used SQS to decouple our Web Site/api from our internal CRM systems, allowing us to scale up and down to support more customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had to work hard to get the fifo queue settings configured properly for our desired scenarios Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Super Easy to setup. Just type in the queue name, configure permissions and you are done. You can also subscribe to SNS for getting messages. Mostly what we do while integrating with other teams. You can also set retry logic, configure DL queue in case application fails to process it after "N"th time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can peek only one message at a time while doing a poll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Seamless to use and simple mechanisms to publish...Guaranteed delivery of message atleast once Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of persistence as opposed to IBM MQ(which is still novice on message size)

We need a one time delivery not atleast once guaranteed delivery Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SQS is easy to use and very reliable. We have made our services scalable with the help of SQS. The metrics provided about the queue usage and message stats is super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about SQS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fairly inexpensive and exceptionally capable for publishing events. Scales as required and aws constantly keep adding capabilities to it. Like throttling controls and lamda triggers that were recently introduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing but a little more feature rich user interface might be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great service! At first I was very skeptical about it but after doing research and using them I loved it! Not for everyone so make sure you do your research before committing to this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The product can get a little pricey. In order to make it worth the money you must use it several times per week and you will find it is worth it. Otherwise you will feel like you are wasting money and time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of the service is it helps to decouple applications that can survive async processing. Great product works perfectly as marketed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike about the product, works great with Lambda too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
