"Flexible, tiny and extendable middleware that suitable for multiple platforms"

5/5

What do you like best about ZeroMQ?

ZeroMQ supports a lot of programming languages: C#, Java, C, Python etc. It provides multiple network topologies and less dependencies so that it also fits mobile platforms such as Android. ZeroMQ is also very fast and comparable with the other fast middleware such as RabbitMQ or Kafka. Moreover, ZeroMQ is easy to start with simple code and could be working in a model without Broker.

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

We implemented a middleware to provide code offloading and data sharing over multi-group mobile networks. We did a survey on a list of middleware to extend and finally came up with ZeroMQ middleware as it supports multiple platforms, languages and lightweigh to put on mobile devices. Our implementation extended ZeroMQ to provide middleware based on component architecture and available on both Android and Windows Mobile platforms. In our research, we confirmed that ZeroMQ is as fast as RabbitMQ and improved running time of code offloading to up to 50-70%. We followed the research for 2 years and published more than 5 research papers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"zeromq is a high performance abstraction layer on top of existing networking stack"

5/5

What do you like best about ZeroMQ?

High performance, high throughput and low latency network transport library. I've got up to 1 million connections per secon using zeromq.

Simple to use, just need to learn concepts of zeromq sockets such as push/pull, req/resp.

Zeromq library is simple but allows many usage patterns such as publish subscribe and fan out

Zeromq is a library not requires a centralized broker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZeroMQ?

Sometimes messages are lost. Although it is by design, there should be a cheatsheet for handling with lost packets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
