We performed a comparison between ActiveMQ 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."I'm impressed, I think that Active MQ is great."
"ActiveMQ brings the most value to small applications because it will not cost you very much to complete."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications."
"The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"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."
"This solution could improve by providing better documentation."
"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."
"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."
"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."
"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"It would be great if it is included as part of the solution, as Kafka is doing. Even though the use case of Kafka is different, If something like data extraction is possible, or if we can experiment with partition tolerance and other such things, that will be great."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
"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."
