We performed a comparison between ActiveMQ and VMware RabbitMQ 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 ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"I am impressed with the tool’s latency. Also, the messages in ActiveMQ wait in a queue. The messages will start to move when the system reopens after getting stuck."
"Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes."
"I'm impressed, I think that Active MQ is great."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"Message broadcasting: There could be a use case sending the same message to all consumers. So as a producer, I broadcast the message to a topic. Then, whichever consumers are subscribed to the topic can consume the same message."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"The security is great."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers."
"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We"
"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The clustering for sure needs improvement. When we were using it, the only thing available was an active/passive relationship that had to be maintained via shared file storage. That model includes a single point of failure in that storage medium."
"It would be great if it is included as part of the solution, as Kafka is doing. Even though the use case of Kafka is different, If something like data extraction is possible, or if we can experiment with partition tolerance and other such things, that will be great."
"Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"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."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
