Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, IBM, VMware and others in Message Queue (MQ) Software."I like the performance and reliability of Kafka. I needed a data streaming buffer that could handle thousands of messages per second with at least one processing point for an analytics pipeline. Kafka fits this requirement very well."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Kafka is the clustering which is very easy to scale and we have multiple servers all over our platforms. It has been useful for stability and performance."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Kafka is Kafka Connect."
"Good horizontal scaling and design."
"It's very easy to keep to install and it's pretty stable."
"Scalability is very good."
"One of the most valuable features I have found is Kafka Connect."
"We appreciate the ability to persistently and quickly write data, as well as the flexibility to customize it for multiple customers. Additionally, we like the ability to retain data within Apache Kafka and use features, such as time travel to access past customer data. The connection with other systems, such as Apache Kafka and IBM DB2."
"JBoss is easy to use, and we have a good partner here in Tunisia to provide local support."
"Pulsar gives more scalability to an even grouping, but Apache Kafka is used more if you want to send something in a time series-based. If this does not matter to you then Pulsar could be more customizable. Apache Kafka is nothing but a streaming system with local storage."
"I would like to see an improvement in authentication management."
"Data pulling and restart ability need improving."
"The GUI tools for monitoring and support are still very basic and not very rich. There is no help in determining a shard key for performance."
"While the solution scales well and easily, you need to understand your future needs and prep for the peaks."
"I would like them to reduce the learning curve around the creation of brokers and topics. They also need to improve on the concept of the partitions."
"It's not possible to substitute IBM MQ with Apache Kafka because the JMS part is not very stable."
"The model where you create the integration or the integration scenario needs improvement."
"JBoss could add more automation."
