Efficiently calculates data flow and provides ease of integration

We seamlessly integrated IBM Event Streams with real data processes by establishing data consumers. The consumers act as end-users, initiating requests and receiving responses from the data provider. The system efficiently processes and calculates the data flow within the cluster using DLP functionality. It provides an easy integration, particularly in creating a platform and facilitating interactions between subscribers and service providers. I rate it an eight out of ten.

An easy-to-learn solution that can be used with microservices

We have done around 20 projects in Red Hat AMQ. I have two projects using Red Hat AMQ, and I can share how its scalability has impacted them. In one project, we have a solution for authentication and authorization using SSO. We need to integrate with other systems in two ways. We use Red Hat AMQ for social data, sending messages to other queues, and integrating with business. We have two databases with the same information. The solution is good because it helps us solve problems with messaging. For instance, when messaging doesn't change, we still check the cloud and verify the information. In another project, we have a large banking solution for the Amazon region using Red Hat AMQ for financial transactions. In this solution, business messages are sent, and another system processes them.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability has been good."

"The system efficiently processes and calculates the data flow within the cluster using DLP functionality."

"I'm an administrator, and what I like most is the interface, the security, and the storage."

"This product is well adopted on the OpenShift platform. For organizations like ours that use OpenShift for many of our products, this is a good feature."

"The solution is very lightweight, easy to configure, simple to manage, and robust since it launched."

"AMQ is highly scalable and performs well. It can process a large volume of messages in one second. AMQ and OpenShift are a good combination."

"Red Hat AMQ's best feature is its reliability."

"The most valuable feature for us is the operator-based automation that is provided by Streams for infrastructure as well as user and topic management. This saves a lot of time and effort on our part to provide infrastructure. For example, the deployment of infrastructure is reduced from approximately a week to a day."

"The most valuable feature is stability."

"Reliability is the main criterion for selecting this tool for one of the busiest airports in Mumbai."

"I can organize the tool with microservices, which allows me to use it across different services. It is easy to learn."

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see the GUI allow you to configure the security section."

"The product's interface needs improvement."

"It would be helpful if they could help us explain why they, as in, the customers, should use the product and the overall benefits."

"AMQ could be better integrated with Jira and patch management tools."

"The product needs to improve its documentation and training."

"Red Hat AMQ's cost could be improved, and it could have better integration."

"The challenge is the multiple components it has. This brings a higher complexity compared to IBM MQ, which is a single complete unit."

"There is improvement needed to keep the support libraries updated."

"There are some aspects of the monitoring that could be improved on. There is a tool that is somewhat connected to Kafka called Service Registry. This is a product by Red Hat that I would like to see integrated more tightly."

"The turnaround of adopting new versions of underlying technologies sometimes is too slow."

"There are several areas in this solution that need improvement, including clustering multi-nodes and message ordering."
