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.

The product improves site reliability, but it is not stable, and the initial deployment was a little difficult
It is a stretched cache layer between two data centers. It allows active implementation. We put our application cache data, load it into memory, and make it accessible across multi-data centers The solution improved our site reliability. The stretched cluster is a valuable feature. When we had…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"My impression is that it is average in terms of scalability."
"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."
"Reliability is the main criterion for selecting this tool for one of the busiest airports in Mumbai."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"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."
"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."
"Red Hat AMQ's best feature is its reliability."
"The solution is very lightweight, easy to configure, simple to manage, and robust since it launched."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"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 loading speed is very good."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
 

Cons

"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 challenge is the multiple components it has. This brings a higher complexity compared to IBM MQ, which is a single complete unit."
"AMQ could be better integrated with Jira and patch management tools."
"There is improvement needed to keep the support libraries updated."
"Red Hat AMQ's cost could be improved, and it could have better integration."
"The turnaround of adopting new versions of underlying technologies sometimes is too slow."
"This product needs better visualization capabilities in general."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"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."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"This is a very cost-effective solution and the pricing is much better than competitors."
"The solution is open-source."
"Red Hat AMQ's pricing could be improved."
"There is a subscription needed for this solution and there are support plans available."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"It is an open-source product."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"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."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
