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.

Very efficient at large scale analytics; lacks inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases
I think the cloud version of VMware is still lacking significantly because we are using Snowflake or Redshift on the cloud. We have a lot of on-prem use cases and Greenplum is good for that but we also have a lot of cloud use cases and the solution is lacking in that sphere. A cloud-native version of Greenplum would simplify things by enabling the move from Greenplum to Greenplum. It would be helpful if they could include some inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases. I'd also like to see some kind of integrated dashboarding within the product for visualization. For example, Power BI integration or Tableau integration so that we could create a quick dashboard without getting Power BI onboarded.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can organize the tool with microservices, which allows me to use it across different services. It is easy to learn."
"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 most valuable feature is stability."
"Red Hat AMQ's best feature is its reliability."
"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."
"My impression is that it is average in terms of scalability."
"Reliability is the main criterion for selecting this tool for one of the busiest airports in Mumbai."
"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."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
 

Cons

"Red Hat AMQ's cost could be improved, and it could have better integration."
"There is improvement needed to keep the support libraries updated."
"The turnaround of adopting new versions of underlying technologies sometimes is too slow."
"AMQ could be better integrated with Jira and patch management tools."
"The challenge is the multiple components it has. This brings a higher complexity compared to IBM MQ, which is a single complete unit."
"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."
"There are several areas in this solution that need improvement, including clustering multi-nodes and message ordering."
"The product needs to improve its documentation and training."
"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."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscription needed for this solution and there are support plans available."
"Red Hat AMQ's pricing could be improved."
