We performed a comparison between ActiveMQ and VMware RabbitMQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Queue (MQ) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"The most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration."
"It provides the best support services."
"I'm impressed, I think that Active MQ is great."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"I am impressed with the tool’s latency. Also, the messages in ActiveMQ wait in a queue. The messages will start to move when the system reopens after getting stuck."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"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."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"The clustering for sure needs improvement. When we were using it, the only thing available was an active/passive relationship that had to be maintained via shared file storage. That model includes a single point of failure in that storage medium."
"I would like the tool to improve compliance and stability. We will encounter issues while using the central applications. In the solution's future releases, I want to control and set limitations for databases."
"There are some stability issues."
"It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues."
"The tool needs to improve its installation part which is lengthy. The product is already working on that aspect so that the complete installation gets completed within a month."
"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers."
"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The availability could be better."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."
