"I don't stress about message delivery anymore, thanks to HiveMQ"
4.5/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

The reliability and scalability of HiveMQ makes me very content. The platform demonstrates exceptional ability to process numerous messages without difficulty which is crucial for IoT applications. HiveMQ protects data safety through its TLS/SSL security measures along with its comprehensive access permission system. The integration of HiveMQ platform with our current systems remains user-friendly. The control center dashboard serves as an effective tool because it presents real-time monitoring and analytics which allows us to easily track performance and solve problems swiftly. HiveMQ provides an effective platform which fulfills our requirements successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

The setup process begins as a complex task because users need strong MQTT knowledge along with particular configuration requirements. The documentation provides extensive information which may present a challenge for new users to handle. HiveMQ presents reliable features at a potentially high price point which benefits organizations despite their budget constraints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Optimizing MQTT platform"
5/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

Everything that I need to manage and control devices workflow is available on HiveMQ, especially with IoT device. The visualization control help me to understand and view data easier and see how many connection is the network handling at one time. Real-time monitoring for client session is helpful in protecting devices security and protection from unwanted connection that pose breach/leak to network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

Devices discovery isn't too accurate in finding new device that I can add automatically. Some IoT device need to be configure manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Robust Solution for Edge Messaging"
4/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

I primarily used the Edge HiveMQ solution. The HTTP interface that can be used to adjust bridge settings made configuration investigation easy. Deployment was simple, because of the JVM. The broker appears to follow MQTT protocol and was easy to integrate into our system. The support channel is quite responsive, and the history of previously asked questions saved me time. For most questions I have, search engines usually discover a high quality HiveMQ article with an answer or tutorial to answer them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

The Edge broker is written in Java, which, with the JVM, is known to have some computational overhead. Some expected differences for Java-based programs include higher memory consumption and less performance than lower-level languages like C, C++, Golang, and Rust. In my testing and comparison of brokers, HiveMQ for the Edge did use more memory, resulting in less performance than Mosquitto (written in C) on a resource-constrained device during high message volume. It's probable that many use-cases will find this performance hit neglegible. The configuration is XML, which can be less pleasant to read and work with than JSON, or YAML.

"Reliable IoT communication and security software"
4/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

I like the high performance of HiveMQ as an MQTT broker which is necessary for our IoT applications. It can handle a large number of messages effectively, which is crucial for ensuring proper device interaction. The scalability aspect of the software is also a major plus in that we are able to expand our IoT structure without compromising on performance. Our cloud platforms are integrated with HiveMQ to make data handling easier and more accessible. One of the unique options is the possibility to track and control the system with the help of the intuitive dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

I still would like to mention the fact that HiveMQ might be relatively expensive in comparison to other platforms for small projects or startups. This can be a significant disadvantage for some organizations especially those that are just establishing themselves in a given market. Furthermore, the software’s stability is internally high, but outsiders may have to go through a learning curve to familiarize with MQTT protocols slowing the process slightly. These aspects have sometimes raised the issue of the cost justification and ensuing training necessary, particularly when the downturn is limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great product, expert team and responsive support."
5/5
What do you like best about HiveMQ?

I have used HiveMQ in two of my startups and have been impressed with the HiveMQ team both times. They're incredibly responsive and supportive, which sets them apart from others in the industry. Their product, HiveMQ, is top-notch, and the support team goes above and beyond what I've seen in similar offerings.

At Lumo, we are developing irrigation management solutions for food growers, where having a reliable and high-performing platform is not just essential but critical. HiveMQ Cloud has been the most effective solution for us, giving us peace of mind and the ability to run our operations smoothly without worrying about self-managing a critical piece of our cloud infrastructure.

Our HiveMQ account manager is extremely sharp and responsive when we need help. I've also had experience with their on-prem product (we installed in our own AWS) at my previous start-up (Flo Technologies), and the platform's stability, flexibility, and reliability helped us significantly to get to the acquisition.

The out-of-the-box integrations (Apache Kafka, Authorization, and PostgreSQL) are a huge time-saver and have significantly reduced our development time. All in all, I highly recommend HiveMQ and their team to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and effective platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HiveMQ?

There is little to say here as I am a happy customer.

I think a minor improvement I'd like is the ability to see more detailed analytics in the HiveMQ Control Center, especially on the Kafka extension page. It would be sweet to see the message publish rate broken down to mqtt<> Kafka topic mappings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
