We performed a comparison between Apache Kafka 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."I have seen a return on investment with this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Kafka is its versatility. It can solve many use cases or can be a part of many use cases. Its fundamental value of it is in the real-time processing capability."
"Excellent speeds for publishing messages faster."
"Kafka is an open-source tool that's easy to use in our country, and the command line interface is powerful."
"A great streaming platform."
"The connectors provided by the solution are valuable."
"The most valuable features are the stream API, consumer groups, and the way that the scaling takes place."
"The most valuable feature is the documentation, which is good and clear."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"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."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution is stable."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"The product is good, but it needs implementation and on-going support. The whole cloud engagement model has made the adoption of Kafka better due to PaaS (Amazon Kinesis, a fully managed service by AWS)."
"The ability to connect the producers and consumers must be improved."
"Apache Kafka can improve by providing a UI for monitoring. There are third-party tools that can do it, but it would be nice if it was already embedded within Apache Kafka."
"Apache Kafka could improve data loss and compatibility with Spark."
"They need to have a proper portal to do everything because, at this moment, Kafka is lagging in this regard."
"There is a lot of information available for the solution and it can be overwhelming to sort through."
"Kafka 2.0 has been released for over a month, and I wanted to try out the new features. However, the configuration is a little bit complicated: Kafka Broker, Kafka Manager, ZooKeeper Servers, etc."
"Observability could be improved."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"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."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
