We performed a comparison between Apache Kafka and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, IBM, VMware and others in Message Queue (MQ) Software."When comparing it with other messaging and integration platforms, this is one of the best rated."
"With Kafka, events and streaming are persistent, and multiple subscribers can consume the data. This is an advantage of Kafka compared to simple queue-based solutions."
"It is the performance that is really meaningful."
"The use of Kafka's logging mechanism has been extremely beneficial for us, as it allows us to sequence messages, track pointers, and manage memory without having to create multiple copies."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"Deployment is speedy."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is Kafka Connect."
"I like the performance and reliability of Kafka. I needed a data streaming buffer that could handle thousands of messages per second with at least one processing point for an analytics pipeline. Kafka fits this requirement very well."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"The loading speed is very good."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"The solution is stable."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"Kafka is complex and there is a little bit of a learning curve."
"The ability to connect the producers and consumers must be improved."
"Lacks elasticity and the ability to scale down."
"Data pulling and restart ability need improving."
"Stability of the API and the technical support could be improved."
"The solution could always add a few more features to enhance its usage."
"Prioritization of messages in Apache Kafka could improve."
"The manageability should be improved. There are lots of things we need to manage and it should have a function that enables us to manage them all cohesively."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
