We performed a comparison between Anypoint MQ and Apache Kafka 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."It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"The connectors provided by the solution are valuable."
"Robust and delivers messages quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the messaging function and reliability."
"The most important feature for me is the guaranteed delivery of messages from producers to consumers."
"All the features of Apache Kafka are valuable, I cannot single out one feature."
"A great streaming platform."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"It's very easy to keep to install and it's pretty stable."
"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"Lacks elasticity and the ability to scale down."
"The solution can improve its cloud support."
"Prioritization of messages in Apache Kafka could improve."
"More Windows support, I believe, is one area where it can improve."
"The management overhead is more compared to the messaging system. There are challenges here and there. Like for long usage, it requires restarts and nodes from time to time."
"They need to have a proper portal to do everything because, at this moment, Kafka is lagging in this regard."
"As an open-source project, Kafka is still fairly young and has not yet built out the stability and features that other open-source projects have acquired over the many years. If done correctly, Kafka can also take over the stream-processing space that technologies such as Apache Storm cover."
"The support on Apache Kafka could be improved."
