We performed a comparison between PubSub+ Event Broker and VMware Tanzu Data Services 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."The way we can replicate information and send it to several subscribers is most valuable. It can be used for any kind of business where you've got multiple users who need information. Any company, such as LinkedIn, with a huge number of subscribers and any business, such as publishing, supermarket, airline, or shipping can use it."
"One of the main reasons for using PubSub+ is that it is a proper event manager that can handle events in a reactive way."
"The topic hierarchy is pretty flexible. Once you have the subject defined just about anybody who knows Java can come onboard. The APIs are all there."
"When we went to add another installation in our private cloud, it was easy. We received support from Solace and the install was seamless with no issues."
"As of now, the most valuable aspects are the topic-based subscription and the fanout exchange that we are using."
"In my assessment of Solace against other products — as I was responsible for evaluating various products and bringing the right tool into companies in the past — I worked with multiple platforms like RabbitMQ, Confluent, Kafka, and various other tools in the market. But I found the event mesh capability to be a very interesting as well as fulfilling capability, towards what we want to achieve from a digital-integration-strategy point of view... It's distributed, yet it is intelligently connected. It can also span and I can plug and play any number of brokers into the event mesh, so it's a great deal. That's a differentiator."
"This solution reduces the latency to access changes in real-time and the effort required to onboard a new subscriber. It also reduces the maintenance of each of those interfaces because now the publisher and subscribers are decoupled. Event Broker handles all the communication and engagement. We can just push one update, then we don't have to know who is consuming it and what's happening to that publication downstream. It's all done by the broker, which is a huge benefit of using Event Broker."
"When it comes to granularity, you can literally do anything regarding how the filtering works."
"Very fast for query processing."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"The section on observability pertains to understanding the functioning of an event crash. Instead of focusing on how the crash occurs, attention is given to the observable aspects, such as a memory pipeline where one person pushes messages and another reads them. However, this pipeline often encounters issues, such as the reader being unavailable, causing the system to become stuck and preventing the messages from moving forward. This can lead to the pipeline being permanently stalled."
"We have requested to be able to get into the payload to do dynamic topic hierarchy building. A current workaround is using the message's header, where the business data can be put into this header and be used for a dynamic topic lookup. I want to see this in action when there are a couple of hundred cases live. E.g., how does it perform? From an administration perspective, is the ease of use there?"
"The ease of management could be approved. The GUI is very good, but to configure and manage these devices programmatically in the software version is not easy. For example, if I would like to spin up a new software broker, then I could in theory use the API, but it would require a considerable amount of development effort to do so. There should be a tool, or something that Solace supports, that we could use for this, e.g., a platform like Terraform where we could use infrastructure as code to configure our source appliances."
"We've pointed out some things with the DMR piece, the event mesh, in edge cases where we could see a problem. Something like 99 percent of users wouldn't ever see this problem, but it has to do with if you get multiple bad clients sending data over a WAN, for example. That could then impact other clients."
"The licensing and the cost are the major pitfalls."
"A challenge we currently have is Solace's ability to integrate with single sign-on in our Active Directory and other single sign-on tools and platforms that any company would have. It's important for the platforms to work. Typically, they support only LDAP-based connectivity to our SQL Servers."
"For improvements, I would suggest increasing the max payload size to a limit of 100MB or more. The current max payload size is limited to 5MB."
"If you create one event in the past, you cannot resend it."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"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."
"The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
