Reliable queues have handled heavy microservice traffic and prevent data loss in daily operations
The best features CloudAMQP offers include its ability to handle load efficiently. Without it, if there is a lack of requests coming from multiple consumers, it stores the data in the queue, and the lag will clear after consumption from the consumer side, ensuring no messages drop from CloudAMQP. Additionally, it can run tasks in the background so that it does not block any user requests. CloudAMQP is able to handle the load, and if I want to scale, I can scale the RabbitMQ nodes without any downtime. CloudAMQP has impacted our organization positively because it can handle a huge amount of data. I can have multiple RabbitMQ queues inside CloudAMQP and, as per my plan, purchase multiple queues that offer different capabilities. For example, the Tough Tiger plan allows sending a maximum of ten million messages per month with simultaneous connections of one hundred connections per queue, ensuring no traffic loss. For heavy environments, I can opt for Big Bunny queues, where I can handle one lakh messages per second if there is a huge amount of traffic. Additionally, I have a dedicated RabbitMQ broker as per my requirement, and according to my needs in CloudAMQP, there are different queue plans which I can select accordingly.

Messaging design has become visual and reliable and now supports fast microservice communication
The unique functions I appreciate about PubSub+ Platform are that it allows me to design my solution in a graphical manner, which is not available in many other products, and the design can also be pushed to the actual infrastructure layer, making it quite advantageous. Mesh technology is useful in scenarios where different geographies have to be connected, although such situations are not commonly found. It is beneficial but not a super-used feature of PubSub+ Platform. The event replay function is quite mature in PubSub+ Platform, allowing me to replay messages that are days in the past, which is a good feature. The main benefits PubSub+ Platform provides for the end-user include building a robust and scalable system with very low network latency, which improves the customer experience, whether using mobile phones or applications. This type of messaging framework is extremely important, and Solace is a very good product in that space. Nowadays, most applications are built using microservices technology, with small microservices interchanging messages via PubSub+ Platform. Without it, realizing a scalable system would not be possible; for example, one cannot have Netflix or similar services that require quick data transit and a good user experience, ensuring that data cannot be lost in transit. The analytics part of PubSub+ Platform is quite useful as it can connect with many analytical software tools, mainly for analysis of system logs, such as Splunk, DataDog, or Prometheus. It has the flexibility to connect with any of these and supports OpenTelemetry, which is not available in many other products, making traceability very easy. I can see how a message travels from a source system to the target system, end-to-end, along with what happens to that message along the path, making the analytics quite good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"After using CloudAMQP, our efficiency has increased, and the data which is transferring from the fuel station has become easier and faster to communicate with our front-end application."
"Since using CloudAMQP, my organization has seen a very significant return on investment because there is no data loss, and I can recover the system timely."
"CloudAMQP has positively impacted my organization as I have built an automation for scaling, which has helped the organization benefit from workload distribution and faster processes."
"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."
"Capital markets couldn't operate today if Solace were down."
"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."
"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."
"Guaranteed Messaging allows for us to transport messages between on-prem and the cloud without any loss of data."
"If we talk about Solace, you see the value-add layer; I can say that Solace is a basic Kafka, but on top of that Kafka layer, they have added their own layer that is really good, as this is where it adds value and why we went for it."
"From my pursuit of the secret sauce, I found that Solace really is, for us, the service and the partnership that we have with the company, having the level of expertise and the subject matter knowledge available to us is second to none."
"Because we use it as a message broker, it makes information flow very seamless."
 

Cons

"CloudAMQP can be improved in a few ways, such as lowering the pricing at scale and keeping the pricing structure simpler."
"CloudAMQP can be improved, as sometimes while upgrading, for instance, if I am running a Big Bunny cluster and want to upgrade to Happy Hour, there is a lag or slowness while upgrading from one queue to another."
"CloudAMQP can be improved as the pricing is a bit high, and if that could be reduced, it would be a great tool."
"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."
"Potential areas for improvement in PubSub+ Platform are its authentication mechanisms, which could be slightly better."
"Some improvement is required with Solace professional services. The professional services really needs to drive the solutions for the customers and share best practices."
"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?"
"It could be cheaper. It could also have easier usage. It is a brilliant product, but it is quite complex to use."
"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."
"If you create one event in the past, you cannot resend it."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the message pooling size for persistent messages to handle both small and large messages effectively."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of PubSub+ Event Broker is reasonable for the capability it offers. However, when compared to others solutions on the market it is expensive."
"We have been really happy with the product licensing rates. It has been free for us, up to a 100,000 transactions per second, and all we have to do is pay for support. Making their product available and accessible to us has not been a problem at all."
"Having a free version is critical for our technology operations use case. This is primarily because our technology operations team is a cost center in our company. They are not profit drivers and having a free version for installation will probably meet our needs. Even for production, it'll support up to a 100,000 messages per second. I don't think in technology operations that we have that many events and alerts from our detection tools. Even if I have 20 or 30 event detection products out there, they're only going to publish the things which are critical or warnings. I don't think we'll ever reach a 100,000 messages per second."
"The pricing and licensing were very transparent and well-communicated by our account manager."
"I would rate the product's pricing a ten out of ten."
"It could be cheaper. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."
"We are looking for something that will add value and fit for purpose. Freeware is good if you want to try something quickly without putting in much money. However, as far as our decision is concerned, I don't think it helps. At the end of the day, if we are convinced that a capability is required, we will ask for the funding. Then, when the funding is available, we will go for an enterprise solution only."
"Having a free version of the solution was a big, important part of our decision to go with it. This was the big driver for us to evaluate Solace. We started using it as the free version. When we felt comfortable with the free version, that is when we bought the enterprise version."
