"Helped us stabilize our IoT stack"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

HiveMQ stood out mostly for my team because of how cleanly it handled high- throughput MQTT messaging without choking. I started using HiveMQ arround 18 months ago when we hit scaling issue for our previous MQTT setup and so far we have simulated 50k clients in test and it held up fine. It's web UI makes it pretty easy to monitor what's going on. We even wrote a small plugin to filter payloads before they hit our processing system. That would have been more work with our old setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

One small thing, HiveMQ UI is functional but not exactly modern. If you are used to slick dashboards than its admin console will feel pretty old as compared to other modern tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our IoT device connections are rock-solid stable"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

The scalability of HiveMQ is amazing. It easily manages millions of clients in parallel MQTT connections in our fleet of IoTs. We adore also its solid state of high availability features as well. Our data streams are constantly undisrupted in peak loads. The inbuilt clustering leaves no downtime and this is important to us. This dependability implies that our operations are smooth at all times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

The smaller scale projects might be a huge hurdle due to the cost. Its sophisticated setup is a little too complex to initialise. It requires a certain amount of effort to onboard new members of its team to the full possibilities of what it does. It would be much appreciated to have a simpler and easier process of setting it up when it is used simply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"HiveMQ just makes hooking up all those devices surprisingly easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

I really like HiveMQ for its rock solid reliability and impressive scalability, which are crucial for our high-demand environment. We needed a broker that could reliably handle millions of IoT devices sending data constantly, and HiveMQ's clustering just works, providing fantastic uptime. The enterprise-grade security features are also a major plus; integrating with our existing identity management system was surprisingly straightforward and effective. This gives us confidence that our device connections are not only stable but also highly secure. Plus, the flexibility offered by their plugin system lets us integrate custom logic easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

Setting up the more advanced configurations and clustering for high availability can sometimes feel a bit complex, requiring a good grasp of their deployment specifics. While the core documentation is solid, digging into the nuances of certain less common enterprise features can take a bit more effort to fully understand. Also, the cost model, especially as you truly scale up and require all the enterprise features, is definitely something you need to budget for carefully. It's powerful, but that power has associated complexity and cost considerations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our IoT devices are talking reliably"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

Being very honest I can state that the most impressive thing about HiveMQ is its fantastic scalability and reliability. We have been able to easily deal with millions of opening connections and messages and this is important to our distributed IoT devices. High availability and enterprise security are also of the highest quality, which makes us feel safe and certain that our data is safe and can be accessed at any time. To give one example, when implementing firmware upgrades to the thousands of devices at once, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

Despite the fact that HiveMQ is fantastic, pricing is one of the main areas of concern as it can be rather high when it comes to smaller business, or the ones that only started. The enterprise characteristics are very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
