Pros
"The most valuable feature is stability.""The most valuable feature for us is the operator-based automation that is provided by Streams for infrastructure as well as user and topic management. This saves a lot of time and effort on our part to provide infrastructure. For example, the deployment of infrastructure is reduced from approximately a week to a day.""AMQ is highly scalable and performs well. It can process a large volume of messages in one second. AMQ and OpenShift are a good combination.""This product is well adopted on the OpenShift platform. For organizations like ours that use OpenShift for many of our products, this is a good feature.""The solution is very lightweight, easy to configure, simple to manage, and robust since it launched.""My impression is that it is average in terms of scalability.""Red Hat AMQ's best feature is its reliability."

"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution.""Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities""I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols.""Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues.""The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent.""The product's reliability is the most valuable feature.""The solution can scale.""Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."

Cons
"There are some aspects of the monitoring that could be improved on. There is a tool that is somewhat connected to Kafka called Service Registry. This is a product by Red Hat that I would like to see integrated more tightly.""Red Hat AMQ's cost could be improved, and it could have better integration.""AMQ could be better integrated with Jira and patch management tools.""There is improvement needed to keep the support libraries updated.""The turnaround of adopting new versions of underlying technologies sometimes is too slow.""This product needs better visualization capabilities in general.""There are several areas in this solution that need improvement, including clustering multi-nodes and message ordering."

More Red Hat AMQ Cons →

"The product is pretty hard to configure.""When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use.""The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles.""There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product.""If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages.""I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc.""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.""The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
