We performed a comparison between PubSub+ Event Broker 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."The most useful features has been the WAN optimization and probably the HybridEdge, which requires some third-party adapters or plugins. The idea that we can position Solace as a protocol-agnostic message transport fabric is key to our company having all manners of asynchronous messaging protocols from MQ, Kafka, JMS, etc. I really like the WAN optimization: Send once over a WAN, then distribute locally as many times as there are subscribers."
"The way we can replicate information and send it to several subscribers is most valuable. It can be used for any kind of business where you've got multiple users who need information. Any company, such as LinkedIn, with a huge number of subscribers and any business, such as publishing, supermarket, airline, or shipping can use it."
"We like the seamless flexibility in protocol exchange offering without writing a code."
"The event portal and the diversity of deployment options in a hybrid landscape are the most valuable features."
"The topic hierarchy is pretty flexible. Once you have the subject defined just about anybody who knows Java can come onboard. The APIs are all there."
"When it comes to granularity, you can literally do anything regarding how the filtering works."
"The valuable feature of PubSub+ Event Broker is the speed of processing, publishing, and consumption."
"This solution reduces the latency to access changes in real-time and the effort required to onboard a new subscriber. It also reduces the maintenance of each of those interfaces because now the publisher and subscribers are decoupled. Event Broker handles all the communication and engagement. We can just push one update, then we don't have to know who is consuming it and what's happening to that publication downstream. It's all done by the broker, which is a huge benefit of using Event Broker."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"The security is great."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The solution can scale."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"The integrations could improve in PubSub+ Event Broker."
"One of the areas of improvement would be if we could tell the story a bit better about what an event mesh does or why an event mesh is foundational to a large enterprise that has a wide diversity of applications that are homegrown and a small number off the shelf."
"The deployment process is complex."
"The licensing and the cost are the major pitfalls."
"For improvements, I would suggest increasing the max payload size to a limit of 100MB or more. The current max payload size is limited to 5MB."
"The product should allow third-party agents to be installed. Currently, it is quite proprietary."
"If you create one event in the past, you cannot resend it."
"The ease of management could be approved. The GUI is very good, but to configure and manage these devices programmatically in the software version is not easy. For example, if I would like to spin up a new software broker, then I could in theory use the API, but it would require a considerable amount of development effort to do so. There should be a tool, or something that Solace supports, that we could use for this, e.g., a platform like Terraform where we could use infrastructure as code to configure our source appliances."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"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."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
