It can process a large volume of messages in one second. AMQ and OpenShift are a good combination.""The most valuable feature is stability.""This product is well adopted on the OpenShift platform. For organizations like ours that use OpenShift for many of our products, this is a good feature.""Red Hat AMQ's best feature is its reliability.""The most valuable feature for us is the operator-based automation that is provided by Streams for infrastructure as well as user and topic management. This saves a lot of time and effort on our part to provide infrastructure. For example, the deployment of infrastructure is reduced from approximately a week to a day."

Cons
"There are several areas in this solution that need improvement, including clustering multi-nodes and message ordering.""There are some aspects of the monitoring that could be improved on. There is a tool that is somewhat connected to Kafka called Service Registry. This is a product by Red Hat that I would like to see integrated more tightly.""This product needs better visualization capabilities in general.""The turnaround of adopting new versions of underlying technologies sometimes is too slow.""Red Hat AMQ's cost could be improved, and it could have better integration.""There is improvement needed to keep the support libraries updated.""AMQ could be better integrated with Jira and patch management tools."

More Red Hat AMQ Cons →

"The product is pretty hard to configure.""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.""We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud.""They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great.""Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster.""I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc.""The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
