We performed a comparison between Anypoint MQ and Apache Kafka 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."Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"This is a system for email and other small devices. There has been a relay of transactions continuously over the last two years it has been in production."
"Ease of use."
"Good horizontal scaling and design."
"Kafka can process messages in real-time, making it useful for applications that require near-instantaneous processing."
"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."
"Deployment is speedy."
"A great streaming platform."
"It's very easy to keep to install and it's pretty stable."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"Some vendors don't offer extra features for monitoring."
"The graphical user environment is currently lacking."
"The solution can improve by having automation for developers. We have done many manual calculations and it has been difficult but if it was automated it would be much better."
"Kafka has a lot of monitors, but sometimes it's most important to just have a simple monitor."
"Managing Apache Kafka can be a challenge, but there are solutions. I used the newest release, as it seems they have removed Zookeeper, which should make it easier. Confluent provides a fully managed Kafka platform, in which the cluster does not need to be managed."
"The user interface is one weakness. Sometimes, our data isn't as accessible as we'd like. It takes a lot of work to retrieve the data and the index."
"There are some latency problems with Kafka."
"We cannot apply all of our security requirements because it is hard to upload them."
