"Stable and performant open-source messaging layer"

5/5

What do you like best about Artemis?

The price of entry can't be beaten, as Apache ActiveMQ Artemis is an open-source solution that can be deployed and used in production without licensing fees. In this case, you get what you don't pay for, as Artemis is a stable, high-quality, and high-performance JMS messaging platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Artemis?

Understanding the clustering and failover options and what best suited the constraints of our deployment was quite tricky. Although there is good and quite comprehensive user documentation available for free for Artemis, it does not cover the implications of one option over another for clustering and failover. This meant we had to experiment with the options available before ending up with a solution that suited us that was also functional from an automatic failover perspective.

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

We deployed Apache ActiveMQ Artemis in our development, test, and production environments, comprised of a pair of active/passive clustered servers per environment that provide high availability and automatic failover. We have found Artemis performance to be exceptional, and it has been highly stable, with no outages or crashes encountered since it was deployed over a year ago. We use Artemis to integrate several real-time operational planning and execution systems, using asynchronous message publish and subscribe patterns for this integration. We are delighted with the Artemis solution, as it is low (zero) cost from a licensing perspective, yet provides as good or better performance, stability and availability as any of the proprietary solutions from the big guys.
