Senior Software Engineer E-Learning Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/16/2016 "A powerful and highly configurable message queue" 4.5/5 What do you like best about RabbitMQ? RabbitMQ is a great addition to your system. By leveraging Erlang it provides a high performance, highly concurrent message queue that can enable your applications (written in slower languages - and maybe with worse concurrency models) to scale and serve a higher number of requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RabbitMQ? RabbitMQ is a low level tool and you'll need to write some cleverly written library, or tons of configuration to get your stuff done. It would be awesome to have more powerful dead letter functionalities or make the retries flow more approachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering RabbitMQ: RabbitMQ is a great tool to handle service communication - you can't go wrong Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RabbitMQ solving and how is that benefiting you? I've used RabbitMQ to tackle scalability problems, implement pub-sub flows and overall handle asynchronous communications between services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NK Natalia K. Python developer/ PHP Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/15/2016 "Reliable messaging system" 4.5/5 What do you like best about RabbitMQ? RabbitMQ is a robust, durable and very reliable messaging broker. Messages are persistent and acknowledgements are used to set up a reliable communication between broker and client.

Also there are clients for most of the programming languages, that is quite useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RabbitMQ? It's written in Erlang and it takes some time to get use to its syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CN Christophe N. Technical Team Lead (API) Leisure, Travel & Tourism Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/17/2016 "Fast and scalable queue platform" 4.5/5 What do you like best about RabbitMQ? RabbitMQ is easy to setup and use. With minimal effort you can get a server running and process thousands of events per second. The product is mature and tools were developed to ease monitoring again with minimal effort. It's also a great tool for async execution in a microservice environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RabbitMQ? Although it's rare, when something goes wrong it's hard to find the cause. I've experienced connection errors quite a few time and we could not find anything in the logs or online to help us identify the source and possibly the right fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering RabbitMQ: Use it unless you are processing events at a really large scale (millions per second). For most companies this is the best product there is out there. Consider hosted solutions for an even easier integration and basically no maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is RabbitMQ solving and how is that benefiting you? We were to scale our microservices async tasks using RabbitMQ. We're also using it for simple task queuing and it works nicely.

RabbitMQ is a very easy application to get up and running and getting messages flowing through, the user interface as easy to follow and shows a lot of information about where the data is and how fast it is flowing. There is also access to the API allowing you to monitor and access the queues within you own monitor tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about RabbitMQ? The documentation on configuring Rabbit for larger scale applications is quite poor, there is very little to explain how it is done and what is available, this has made it difficult to scale using exchanges etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is RabbitMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?
