We performed a comparison between Amazon EventBridge and PubSub+ Event Broker based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"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 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."
"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."
"As of now, the most valuable aspects are the topic-based subscription and the fanout exchange that we are using."
"The valuable feature of PubSub+ Event Broker is the speed of processing, publishing, and consumption."
"The way we can replicate information and send it to several subscribers is most valuable. It can be used for any kind of business where you've got multiple users who need information. Any company, such as LinkedIn, with a huge number of subscribers and any business, such as publishing, supermarket, airline, or shipping can use it."
"When it comes to granularity, you can literally do anything regarding how the filtering works."
"Amazon EventBridge doesn't have the feature of event replay."
"Currently, it only supports triggering one job at a time. It would be helpful if it could handle multiple jobs or triggers simultaneously. What I mean is that currently, we can only perform one job at a time."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"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."
"It could be cheaper. It could also have easier usage. It is a brilliant product, but it is quite complex to use."
"A challenge we currently have is Solace's ability to integrate with single sign-on in our Active Directory and other single sign-on tools and platforms that any company would have. It's important for the platforms to work. Typically, they support only LDAP-based connectivity to our SQL Servers."
"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."
"For improvements, I would suggest increasing the max payload size to a limit of 100MB or more. The current max payload size is limited to 5MB."
"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."
"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."
"We have requested to be able to get into the payload to do dynamic topic hierarchy building. A current workaround is using the message's header, where the business data can be put into this header and be used for a dynamic topic lookup. I want to see this in action when there are a couple of hundred cases live. E.g., how does it perform? From an administration perspective, is the ease of use there?"
