We performed a comparison between ActiveMQ and VMware RabbitMQ 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 most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration."
"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."
"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."
"I am impressed with the tool’s latency. Also, the messages in ActiveMQ wait in a queue. The messages will start to move when the system reopens after getting stuck."
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."
"I'm impressed, I think that Active MQ is great."
"The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable."
"ActiveMQ is very lightweight and quick."
"The solution can scale."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"This solution could improve by providing better documentation."
"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers."
"The clustering for sure needs improvement. When we were using it, the only thing available was an active/passive relationship that had to be maintained via shared file storage. That model includes a single point of failure in that storage medium."
"Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle."
"It would be great if it is included as part of the solution, as Kafka is doing. Even though the use case of Kafka is different, If something like data extraction is possible, or if we can experiment with partition tolerance and other such things, that will be great."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We"
"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"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."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."
"The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
