We performed a comparison between Apache Kafka and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, IBM, VMware and others in Message Queue (MQ) Software."I like Kafka's flexibility, stability, reliability, and robustness."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Kafka is Kafka Connect."
"It's very easy to keep to install and it's pretty stable."
"The processing power of Apache Kafka is good when you have requirements for high throughput and a large number of consumers."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Kafka is the clustering which is very easy to scale and we have multiple servers all over our platforms. It has been useful for stability and performance."
"It is easy to configure."
"Apache Kafka is actually a distributed commit log. That is different than most messaging and queuing systems before it."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around areas like the latency part, where the tool offers very little latency and the sequencing part."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"Very fast for query processing."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"The solution is stable."
"The manageability should be improved. There are lots of things we need to manage and it should have a function that enables us to manage them all cohesively."
"Something that could be improved is having an interface to monitor the consuming rate."
"Apache Kafka can improve by adding a feature out of the box which allows it to deliver only one message."
"Some vendors don't offer extra features for monitoring."
"I suggest using cloud services because the solution is expensive if you are using it on-premises."
"Kafka requires non-trivial expertise with DevOps to deploy in production at scale. The organization needs to understand ZooKeeper and Kafka and should consider using additional tools, such as MirrorMaker, so that the organization can survive an availability zone or a region going down."
"The support on Apache Kafka could be improved."
"Kafka does not provide control over the message queue, so we do not know whether we are experiencing lost or duplicate messages."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"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."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"The availability could be better."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"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."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
