Azure Storage Queues are about on par with SQS. That is, easy to use, but lacking strict concurrency control. If you need that level of concurrency control (and stricter serialization), then you’d be better off their (more complicated) service bus product [0].

RabbitMQ isn’t more complicated because it’s been improperly designed. It’s more complicated because it’s doing a much more complicated task.

A fair amount of that complexity lies in the hosting, so a managed service can take some of that off your hands (for an increased price obviously), but part of it is necessarily going to lie with the message consumer (your application logic). If your use case doesn’t need that level of control, then it doesn’t need that level of complexity either, so something like Rabbit would just be the wrong choice.
