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."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."
"I appreciate many features including queue, topic, durable topic, and selectors. I also value a different support for different protocols such as MQTT and AMQP. It has full support for EIP, REST, Message Groups, UDP, and TCP."
"ActiveMQ brings the most value to small applications because it will not cost you very much to complete."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"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."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle."
"There are some stability issues."
"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The tool needs to improve its installation part which is lengthy. The product is already working on that aspect so that the complete installation gets completed within a month."
"The solution can improve the other protocols to equal the AMQ protocol they offer."
"It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues."
"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."
"From the TPS point of view, it's like 100,000 transactions that need to be admitted from different devices and also from the different minor small systems. Those are best fit for Kafka. We have used it on the customer side, and we thought of giving a try to ActiveMQ, but we have to do a lot of performance tests and approval is required before we can use it for this scale."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"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."
"The availability could be better."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
