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."Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications."
"It provides the best support services."
"The most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration."
"ActiveMQ brings the most value to small applications because it will not cost you very much to complete."
"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."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"The security is great."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"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."
"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers."
"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."
"This solution could improve by providing better documentation."
"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"The availability could be better."
"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 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 user interface could be improved."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
