Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications.""The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable.""Reliable message delivery and mirroring.""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.""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.""The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes."

More ActiveMQ Pros →

"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs.""The security is great.""Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements""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 feature of data transaction works fast.""A very good, open-source platform.""The solution can scale.""It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."

Cons
"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.""Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers.""The solution's stability needs improvement.""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.""I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We""It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues.""This solution could improve by providing better documentation.""One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."

More ActiveMQ Cons →

"The installation is difficult and should be made easier.""Extra filters would be helpful.""When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use.""If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic.""Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy.""There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product.""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.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
