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."It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"ActiveMQ brings the most value to small applications because it will not cost you very much to complete."
"It provides the best support services."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"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 important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration."
"ActiveMQ is very lightweight and quick."
"Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications."
"It makes operations more efficient. The information processing is very fast, and very responsive. It's all about the technology."
"The solution's technical support team is good...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."
"The product offers fast access to my database."
"The in-memory data makes it fast."
"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."
"Redis is a simple, powerful, and fast solution."
"It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can improve the other protocols to equal the AMQ protocol they offer."
"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."
"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."
"The initial setup took some time as our technical team needed to familiarize themselves with Redis."
"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."
"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."
"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."
"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."
"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 development of clusters could improve. Additionally, it would be helpful if it was integrated with Amazon AWS or Google Cloud."
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.
