We performed a comparison between PubSub+ Event Broker 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."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."
"One of the main reasons for using PubSub+ is that it is a proper event manager that can handle events in a reactive way."
"The event portal and the diversity of deployment options in a hybrid landscape are the most valuable features."
"As of now, the most valuable aspects are the topic-based subscription and the fanout exchange that we are using."
"This solution reduces the latency to access changes in real-time and the effort required to onboard a new subscriber. It also reduces the maintenance of each of those interfaces because now the publisher and subscribers are decoupled. Event Broker handles all the communication and engagement. We can just push one update, then we don't have to know who is consuming it and what's happening to that publication downstream. It's all done by the broker, which is a huge benefit of using Event Broker."
"Guaranteed Messaging allows for us to transport messages between on-prem and the cloud without any loss of data."
"In my assessment of Solace against other products — as I was responsible for evaluating various products and bringing the right tool into companies in the past — I worked with multiple platforms like RabbitMQ, Confluent, Kafka, and various other tools in the market. But I found the event mesh capability to be a very interesting as well as fulfilling capability, towards what we want to achieve from a digital-integration-strategy point of view... It's distributed, yet it is intelligently connected. It can also span and I can plug and play any number of brokers into the event mesh, so it's a great deal. That's a differentiator."
"The topic hierarchy is pretty flexible. Once you have the subject defined just about anybody who knows Java can come onboard. The APIs are all there."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"Very fast for query processing."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"I would like them to design topic and queue schemas, mapping them to the enterprise data structure."
"It could be cheaper. It could also have easier usage. It is a brilliant product, but it is quite complex to use."
"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."
"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."
"The product should allow third-party agents to be installed. Currently, it is quite proprietary."
"The licensing and the cost are the major pitfalls."
"If you create one event in the past, you cannot resend it."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"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."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
