Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I'm impressed, I think that Active MQ is great.""The most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding.""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 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.""The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes.""ActiveMQ is very lightweight and quick.""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."

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required.""The solution offers excellent stability.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need.""The Messenger Broker is a really good feature.""ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all.""The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."

Cons
"The UI. It's both a good thing and a bad thing. The UI is too simple. Sometimes you wanna see the messages coming to the queue, and you have to refresh the dashboard, the console of the product.""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.""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.""I would like the tool to improve compliance and stability. We will encounter issues while using the central applications. In the solution's future releases, I want to control and set limitations for databases.""Distributed message processing would be a nice addition.""There are some stability issues.""It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues.""I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We"

"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services.""The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API.""It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc.""I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included.""You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely.""Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"
