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."We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"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."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"Apache Kafka's most valuable features include clustering and sharding...It is a pretty stable solution."
"The solution is very scalable. We started with a cluster of three and then scaled it to seven."
"The most valuable feature is that it can handle high volume."
"Kafka is scalable. It can manage a high volume of data from many sources."
"Kafka is an open-source tool that's easy to use in our country, and the command line interface is powerful."
"All the features of Apache Kafka are valuable, I cannot single out one feature."
"Apache Kafka is an open-source solution that can be used for messaging or event processing."
"It's very easy to keep to install and it's pretty stable."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"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."
"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."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"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."
"Stability of the API and the technical support could be improved."
"I would like them to reduce the learning curve around the creation of brokers and topics. They also need to improve on the concept of the partitions."
"Pulsar gives more scalability to an even grouping, but Apache Kafka is used more if you want to send something in a time series-based. If this does not matter to you then Pulsar could be more customizable. Apache Kafka is nothing but a streaming system with local storage."
"There are some latency problems with Kafka."
"Lacks elasticity and the ability to scale down."
"Apache Kafka can improve by adding a feature out of the box which allows it to deliver only one message."
"The price for the enterprise version is quite high. It would be better to have a lower price."
"Kafka does not provide control over the message queue, so we do not know whether we are experiencing lost or duplicate messages."
