Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, IBM, VMware and others in Message Queue (MQ) Software."Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding."
"ActiveMQ is very lightweight and quick."
"It provides the best support services."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"ActiveMQ brings the most value to small applications because it will not cost you very much to complete."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"The solution can scale."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"There are some stability issues."
"The UI. It's both a good thing and a bad thing. The UI is too simple. Sometimes you wanna see the messages coming to the queue, and you have to refresh the dashboard, the console of the product."
"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"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."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"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."
