It can process a large volume of messages in one second. AMQ and OpenShift are a good combination.""The most valuable feature is stability.""The solution is very lightweight, easy to configure, simple to manage, and robust since it launched.""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.""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."

"The solution needs improvement on performance.""The availability could be better.""The user interface could be improved.""We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud.""I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols.""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 product is pretty hard to configure.""Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
