We performed a comparison between ActiveMQ and Redis 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 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."
"The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"It provides the best support services."
"There is a vibrant community, and it is one of the strongest points of this product. We always get answers to our problems. So, my experience with the community support has been good."
"ActiveMQ brings the most value to small applications because it will not cost you very much to complete."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"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 can improve the other protocols to equal the AMQ protocol they offer."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"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."
"I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We"
"The clustering for sure needs improvement. When we were using it, the only thing available was an active/passive relationship that had to be maintained via shared file storage. That model includes a single point of failure in that storage medium."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."
"I would prefer it if there was more information available about Redis. That would make it easier for new beginners. Currently, there is a lack of resources."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"The development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
"The only thing is the lack of a GUI application. There was a time when we needed to resolve an issue in production. If we had a GUI, it would have been easier."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
ActiveMQ is ranked 3rd in Message Queue (MQ) Software with 24 reviews while Redis is ranked 7th in Database as a Service with 7 reviews. ActiveMQ is rated 7.8, while Redis is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of ActiveMQ writes "Allows for asynchronous communication, enabling services to operate independently but issues with stability". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Redis writes "A solution that can benefit both user and customer-facing applications while effectively preventing potential lag in the user-facing application". ActiveMQ is most compared with IBM MQ, Anypoint MQ, Red Hat AMQ, VMware RabbitMQ and PubSub+ Event Broker, whereas Redis is most compared with Google Cloud Memorystore, Amazon SQS, Chroma, Faiss and Azure Cache for Redis.
