I'm impressed, I think that Active MQ is great.

I appreciate many features including queue, topic, durable topic, and selectors. I also value a different support for different protocols such as MQTT and AMQP. It has full support for EIP, REST, Message Groups, UDP, and TCP.

The most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration.

For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery.

There is a vibrant community, and it is one of the strongest points of this product. We always get answers to our problems. So, my experience with the community support has been good.

Message broadcasting: There could be a use case sending the same message to all consumers. So as a producer, I broadcast the message to a topic. Then, whichever consumers are subscribed to the topic can consume the same message.

The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable.

It would be great if it is included as part of the solution, as Kafka is doing. Even though the use case of Kafka is different, If something like data extraction is possible, or if we can experiment with partition tolerance and other such things, that will be great.

This solution could improve by providing better documentation.

Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers.

From the TPS point of view, it's like 100,000 transactions that need to be admitted from different devices and also from the different minor small systems. Those are best fit for Kafka. We have used it on the customer side, and we thought of giving a try to ActiveMQ, but we have to do a lot of performance tests and approval is required before we can use it for this scale.

Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle.

One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup.

The solution can improve the other protocols to equal the AMQ protocol they offer.

The UI. It's both a good thing and a bad thing. The UI is too simple. Sometimes you wanna see the messages coming to the queue, and you have to refresh the dashboard, the console of the product.

I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We
