Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery.""Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications.""The most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the holding and forwarding.""I appreciate many features including queue, topic, durable topic, and selectors. I also value a different support for different protocols such as MQTT and AMQP. It has full support for EIP, REST, Message Groups, UDP, and TCP.""It provides the best support services.""The ability to store the failed events for some time is valuable.""ActiveMQ brings the most value to small applications because it will not cost you very much to complete."

"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard.""Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room.""The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable.""Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics.""Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution.""Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements""A very good, open-source platform.""Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."

Cons
"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers.""The solution's stability needs improvement.""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.""From the TPS point of view, it's like 100,000 transactions that need to be admitted from different devices and also from the different minor small systems. Those are best fit for Kafka. We have used it on the customer side, and we thought of giving a try to ActiveMQ, but we have to do a lot of performance tests and approval is required before we can use it for this scale.""This solution could improve by providing better documentation.""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.""Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle.""I would rate the stability a five out of ten because sometimes it gets stuck, and we have to restart it. We"

"The initial deployment was a little difficult.""The installation is difficult and should be made easier.""I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols.""They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data.""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.""The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers.""Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc.""The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
