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."For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding."
"The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes."
"The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"ActiveMQ is very lightweight and quick."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"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."
"Message broadcasting: There could be a use case sending the same message to all consumers. So as a producer, I broadcast the message to a topic. Then, whichever consumers are subscribed to the topic can consume the same message."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"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."
"It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues."
"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."
"Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle."
"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."
"The solution can improve the other protocols to equal the AMQ protocol they offer."
"The UI. It's both a good thing and a bad thing. The UI is too simple. Sometimes you wanna see the messages coming to the queue, and you have to refresh the dashboard, the console of the product."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."
"The availability could be better."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
