Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, IBM, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Message Queue (MQ) Software."The open-source version is relatively straightforward to set up and only takes a few minutes."
"Apache Kafka is actually a distributed commit log. That is different than most messaging and queuing systems before it."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Kafka is its versatility. It can solve many use cases or can be a part of many use cases. Its fundamental value of it is in the real-time processing capability."
"All the features of Apache Kafka are valuable, I cannot single out one feature."
"Ease of use."
"Kafka is an open-source tool that's easy to use in our country, and the command line interface is powerful."
"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 stability is very nice. We currently manage 50 million events daily."
"JBoss is easy to use, and we have a good partner here in Tunisia to provide local support."
"We cannot apply all of our security requirements because it is hard to upload them."
"One of the things I am mostly looking for is that once the message is picked up from Kafka, it should not be visible or able to be consumed by other applications, or something along those lines. That feature is not present, but it is not a limitation or anything of the sort; rather, it is a desirable feature. The next release should include a feature that prevents messages from being consumed by other applications once they are picked up by Kafka."
"An area for improvement would be growth."
"Kafka has a lot of monitors, but sometimes it's most important to just have a simple monitor."
"Maintaining and configuring Apache Kafka can be challenging, especially when you want to fine-tune its behavior."
"There is a lot of information available for the solution and it can be overwhelming to sort through."
"Apache Kafka could improve data loss and compatibility with Spark."
"Apache Kafka can improve by adding a feature out of the box which allows it to deliver only one message."
"JBoss could add more automation."
