Efficient data flow management with high performance and occasional stability improvements

For high traffic volumes where management time on ActiveMQ is minimal and where the rate of flow from the provider is slower than from the consumer, ActiveMQ offers the highest performance based on our experience. It has been efficient for data flow control between two endpoints, despite occasional unexpected glitches. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Lightweight and efficient solution

It's very good and lightweight. But, it does not provide web service communication. But it is excellent for internal connections One valuable feature is the messaging broker. If there is a disruption, it restores the messages. And when the application is running, it delivers all the messages. The…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Message broadcasting: There could be a use case sending the same message to all consumers. So as a producer, I broadcast the message to a topic. Then, whichever consumers are subscribed to the topic can consume the same message."

"The most important feature is that it's best for JVM-related languages and JMS integration."

"For reliable messaging, the most valuable feature of ActiveMQ for us is ensuring prompt message delivery."

"We value ActiveMQ for its performance, throughput, and low latency, especially in handling large volumes of data and sequential management of topics."

"ActiveMQ is very lightweight and quick."

"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."

"Reliable message delivery and mirroring."

"The initial setup is straightforward and only takes a few minutes."

More ActiveMQ pros

"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages."

"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need."

"The solution offers excellent stability."

"SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required."

"ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all."

"The Messenger Broker is a really good feature."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"The solution can improve the other protocols to equal the AMQ protocol they offer."

"It does not scale out well. It ends up being very complex if you have a lot of mirror queues."

"Needs to focus on a certain facet and be good at it, instead of handling support for most of the available message brokers."

"The UI. It's both a good thing and a bad thing. The UI is too simple. Sometimes you wanna see the messages coming to the queue, and you have to refresh the dashboard, the console of the product."

"We need to enhance stability and improve the deployment optimization to fully leverage the platform's capabilities."

"Distributed message processing would be a nice addition."

More ActiveMQ cons

"Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs"

"The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services."

"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc."

"The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

"I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included."

"You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is reasonable and competitive compared to other solutions."

"ActiveMQ is open source, so it is free to use."

"It’s open source, ergo free."

"The solution is less expensive than its competitors."

"We use the open-source version."

"I use open source with standard Apache licensing."

"I think the software is free."

"There are no fees because it is open-source."

More ActiveMQ pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is not so high."

"You pay nothing for licensing, because the commercial model is a subscription. Other environments, such as QA and Development, are included in the subscription"

"Much better than Oracle SOA Suite."
