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."When it comes to granularity, you can literally do anything regarding how the filtering works."
"Guaranteed Messaging allows for us to transport messages between on-prem and the cloud without any loss of data."
"When we went to add another installation in our private cloud, it was easy. We received support from Solace and the install was seamless with no issues."
"The most valuable feature of PubSub+ Event Broker is the scaling integration. Prior to using the solution, it was done manually with a file, and it can be done instantly live."
"We like the seamless flexibility in protocol exchange offering without writing a code."
"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 valuable feature of PubSub+ Event Broker is the speed of processing, publishing, and consumption."
"In my assessment of Solace against other products — as I was responsible for evaluating various products and bringing the right tool into companies in the past — I worked with multiple platforms like RabbitMQ, Confluent, Kafka, and various other tools in the market. But I found the event mesh capability to be a very interesting as well as fulfilling capability, towards what we want to achieve from a digital-integration-strategy point of view... It's distributed, yet it is intelligently connected. It can also span and I can plug and play any number of brokers into the event mesh, so it's a great deal. That's a differentiator."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"I would like them to design topic and queue schemas, mapping them to the enterprise data structure."
"Some of the feature's gaps with some of the open-source vendors have been closed in a lot of ways. Being more agile and addressing those earlier could be an area for improvement."
"It could be cheaper. It could also have easier usage. It is a brilliant product, but it is quite complex to use."
"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."
"We've pointed out some things with the DMR piece, the event mesh, in edge cases where we could see a problem. Something like 99 percent of users wouldn't ever see this problem, but it has to do with if you get multiple bad clients sending data over a WAN, for example. That could then impact other clients."
"The deployment process is complex."
"The integrations could improve in PubSub+ Event Broker."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"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."
"The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
