Considered Both Products
Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a managed service compared to Apache Kafka.

Simple Queue Service (SQS) is an Amazon managed service that supports similar functionality as compared to Google Cloud Pub/Sub. However, we selected Google Cloud Pub/Sub as all other services in our platform …
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Kafka looks like and ordered queue, there no deliver backoff, so if a message has a problem, it doesn't advance to the next one. Google Cloud Pub/Sub looks like more a SET of messages, and kafka like a LIST. In kafka a same message will repeat instantaneously while it is being …
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Having used Amazon Web Services SNS & SQS I can say that even if the latter may offer more features, Google Cloud Pub/Sub is easier to use. On the other hand, usage of SNS & SQS as well as documentation and troubleshooting is easier with the AWS solution.
Since we are not using …
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Google Cloud Pub/Sub as a managed service is significantly more easy to use than a self managed Kafka cluster. As our software was already on GCP it was a no-brainer to use Pub/Sub due to the high level of integration and ease of use with other Google Cloud Platform services.
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
  • Easy to setup Publisher, Subscribers and Message Queue service
  • More Reliable and Easy Scalable with Google Managed services
  • Easily integrated with most of the data sources we typically use for Data Storage and Analysis
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Amazon SQS has no integration with google play billing whereas Google Cloud Pub/Sub had native integration with google cloud billing, Play billing.
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
We considered several messaging platforms including Kafka and Kinesis but both would have required more developer work and didn't integrate as nicely with our ecosystem. RabbitMQ is another messaging platform I've researched and prototyped on; it also would have required more …
Chose Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Compute Engine is not a direct competitor, but in fact, works well coupled with Pub/Sub.

Using Google Cloud Pub/Sub will mainly depend on the cloud platform used. Our client didn't choose GCP for Google Cloud Pub/Sub, if we went with AWS we would be using SNS/SQS (obviously). However, Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a better solution in the GCP services compared to self-managed solutions such as RabbitMQ for instance (it is managed by GCP and integrates with GCP solutions).

It serves all of our purposes in the most transparent way I can imagine, after seeing other message queueing providers, I can only attest to its quality.

Usability
It is easy to create Google Cloud Pub/Sub topics from both Web Console and CLI commands.
Google Cloud Pub/Sub supports creation of one or more subscriptions.
By supporting a BigQuery Pub/Sub subscription to automatically write to a BigQuery table it simplifies development by avoiding implementation of a custom micro service for writes to BigQuery.

Support Rating
They have decent documentation, but you need to pay for support. We weren't able to answer all our questions with the documentation and didn't have time to setup support before we needed it so I can't give it a higher rating but I think it tends to be a bit slow unless you're a GCP enterprise support customer.

Scalability
You can just plug in consumers at will and it will respond, there's no need for further configuration or introducing new concepts. You have a queue, if it's slow, you plug in more consumers to process more messages: simple as that.
