It sends large messages at decent speeds.

The ability to send large messages at decent speeds It had no impact on the organization. We used it in a solution we built for somebody else. Even though there is support from many open source communities, there is still weakness in ease-of-use and ease-of-configuration for more complex…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"It’s a JMS broker, so the fact that it can allow for asynchronous communication is valuable."

"There is a vibrant community, and it is one of the strongest points of this product. We always get answers to our problems. So, my experience with the community support has been good."

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

"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."

"Most people or many people recommended using ActiveMQ on small and medium-scale applications."

"The main function I find valuable in ActiveMQ is facilitating message transfer within the client's internal network. ActiveMQ handles the message transfer from the internal network to the cloud. Regarding multi-protocols, we use different approaches based on client capabilities. Some clients connect for real-time data transfer, using database queries for periodic updates every ten minutes. We collect data from multiple clients, ensuring we get real-time sensor values where possible and periodic updates for others."

More ActiveMQ pros

"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."

"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."

"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."

"Very fast for query processing."

"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."

"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."

"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."

"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."

Cons

"Message Management: Better management of the messages. Perhaps persist them, or put in another queue with another life cycle."

"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."

"There are some stability issues."

"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."

"I would like the tool to improve compliance and stability. We will encounter issues while using the central applications. In the solution's future releases, I want to control and set limitations for databases."

"One potential area would be the complexity of the initial setup."

"The tool needs to improve its installation part which is lengthy. The product is already working on that aspect so that the complete installation gets completed within a month."

More ActiveMQ cons

"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."

"The initial deployment was a little difficult."

"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."

"Extra filters would be helpful."

"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."

"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the open-source version, so we have not looked at any pricing."

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

"We use the open-source version."

"I use open source with standard Apache licensing."

"I think the software is free."

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

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

"The solution is less expensive than its competitors."

More ActiveMQ pricing and cost advice

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."

"It is an open-source product."

"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."

"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."

"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."

"The pricing is okay."
