"AWS SQS Review: message queuing service"
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

Using SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at a very large volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available. SQS in-built DLQ system is a good add-on feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

Querying/Viewing of Messages is a poll based(no pagination etc.), and visibilityview of message gets changed to handle that out, looks pretty odd to me. I would have thought of building it slightly different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AWS review "
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

I love the ease of use, the low cost of aws. But most of all, I love the reliability. I have never had an issue with AWS failing me and even with maintenance, they provide enough notice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

There isn’t much to dislike. Obviously maintenance is natural for any such service and while we get enough future notice, it would be better if there were less maintenance periods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Easy to Use"
What do you like best about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

Ability to create both FIFO and Standard Queues, and their respective abilities to make sure everything gets processed in order, or processed quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)?

It should be possible to attach more data to a queue message, or at least SQS should be more interoperable with other AWS services like S3 so that a file can be essentially attached to a message so it can be processed.

Overall, there should be less limits. There shouldn't be a maximum size of a queue or maximum retention period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
