We performed a comparison between Apache Kafka and VMware Tanzu Data Services 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."Scalability is very good."
"Good horizontal scaling and design."
"The main advantage is increased reliability, particularly with regard to data and the speed with which messages are published to the other side."
"Resiliency is great and also the fact that it handles different data formats."
"The solution is very easy to set up."
"This is a system for email and other small devices. There has been a relay of transactions continuously over the last two years it has been in production."
"It is the performance that is really meaningful."
"The publisher-subscriber pattern and low latency are also essential features that greatly piqued my interest."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"Very fast for query processing."
"would like to see real-time event-based consumption of messages rather than the traditional way through a loop. The traditional messaging system works by listing and looping with a small wait to check to see what the messages are. A push system is where you have something that is ready to receive a message and when the message comes in and hits the partition, it goes straight to the consumer versus the consumer having to pull. I believe this consumer approach is something they are working on and may come in an upcoming release. However, that is message consumption versus message listening."
"There are some latency problems with Kafka."
"I would like to see monitoring service tools."
"If the graphical user interface was easier for the Kafka administration it would be much better. Right now, you need to use the program with the command-line interface. If the graphical user interface was easier, it could be a better product."
"The ability to connect the producers and consumers must be improved."
"The initial setup and deployment could be less complex."
"The price for the enterprise version is quite high. It would be better to have a lower price."
"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."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
