KubeMQ user experience **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2021 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** Oz and Lior provided support in less than one working day. Quick and helpful! The Software is great as well! **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** Not much to dislike about KubeMQ, it handles all our needs effectively. **Recommendations to others considering KubeMQ:** The quickest way to get started is to use their deployment tool or to contact their Support team! **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use KubeMQ as a messaging service between our microservices. Unlike other services which provide message passing, KubeMQ supports pub/sub, event queueing as well as RPC. It is better to use rather than having multiple messaging systems that require setting up custom metric servers. ### 2. KubeMQ really light and incredibly efficient native message broker **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jan D. | Linux System Administrator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** KubeMQ use really small sources of CPU and Memory to collect big data of message comes example from ad internet. If somebody working with big traffic and don't want use really big resource of CPU or Memory something like 8 CPU and 64 GB RAM should change the message broker on Native KubeMQ **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** At the moment, there are no flaws in the KubeMQ software, it is a young software and it may not convince everyone to this product, but this is what you now need, something that is light and efficient and at the same time not complicated to use and that is what KubeMQ is. **Recommendations to others considering KubeMQ:** Anybody who need light and efficiency message broker should migrate to KubeMQ native message broker into Kubernetes **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** We can build small kubernetes cluster and collect big traffic. ### 3. Simple and practical **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jefferson O. | Senior Analyst and Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** Due to its flexibility, computational cost and documentation, it is simple and practical. And the coolest is done in Go **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** I still haven't found something that I didn't like, for example I use RabbitMQ and Kafkae and I was able to easily do what they do with more complexity and in kubeMQ it is as if I had demystified everything, everything was simpler and more practical, I loved it. **Recommendations to others considering KubeMQ:** The tool being native k8s and consumed as little hardware as possible in line with its flexibility and practicality, it is difficult not to use it and put it into production on a daily basis. This is just fantastic. **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm still starting, but I have some interesting scenarios to implement. One of them is a Delivery application, an APP that will take 10k, 100k 300k 500k and we are evaluating the possibility of using kubeMQ to manage the communication between the microserives and use KubeMQ to take the hit and connect in the database for unload. Another scenario is using kubeMQ as a Scheduled Queue to trigger requests at scheduled times. I am still starting but I realized that you can do what we do in the RabbitMQ exchange and you can do the persistence as we do in kafka, this caught my attention and I loved it. ### 4. KubeMQ is a great tool to join together number of different microservices. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pavlo G. | Software Engineer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** KubeMQ supports a number of popular communication patterns (Pub/Sub, sending events, event sourcing, even CQRS commands and queries). It has client libraries for programming languages I use (C# and Go) and the ability to use REST API. It also provides a dashboard to monitor activity. **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** No tracing support in the C# client library. Also, I was not able to connect the dashboard in my Kubernetes cluster (though locally it worked fine). **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use KubeMQ for communication between microservices. With KubeMQ I am able to have some microservices working as BFF (Backend For Frontend. BFF microservices provide API for my applications, they take care of user authorization and authentication and other stuff like this. On the other hand, some services are left fully internal, they do a real job and react and commands, queries, and events from BFF services. ### 5. I've already recommended it to few engineers in other company. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mihail K. | DevOps Engineer , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** lightweight 30 mb binary(especially comparing to Kafka), easy to install, feat well with service mesh( in my case it was linkerd), grpc interface from the box **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** Release cycle in helm repository. You should take more attention to versioning in this app. Problem: 1) new version was come up in helm repo, old was isn't available. I had this case few mounts ago where I've pinned to specific Chart version in requirements. 2) tag latest in helm source code. https://github.com/kubemq-io/charts/blob/master/kubemq/crds/operator.yaml#L19 , it definitely can be considered not as best practices **Recommendations to others considering KubeMQ:** If you are a "green project" it can be a good option for you compared to Kafka. **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** lightweight 30 mb binary => I've worked with the review app to install it from scratch. it is not possible to come up with a fully separated env with Kafka as fast as in kubemq. I've reviewed it from my perspective of ops engineer. ### 6. Highly recommended messaging framework for Kubernetes **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** KubeMQ is a modern message queue and message broker that was specifically developed to work in Kubernetes environment. As such, when deploying with Kubernetes, it is very easy to use and it provides superior performance. KubeMQ is working smoothly and transparently with Kubernetes to provide scalable, high available and secured applications. **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** There is a limited variety of connectors and bridges available today for KubeMQ, but I found their technical support very attentive and ready to address our proprietary design needs. **Recommendations to others considering KubeMQ:** If you develop or migrate to Kubernetes environment, it is highly recommended to consider KubeMQ. As it supports all messaging patterns such as Queue, Stream, Pub/Sub and RPC it is most likely to address your use cases, all by a single solution. **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** There is a substantial need for messaging and queuing in our microservices architecture that KubeMQ solves. It runs easily with Kubernetes and connect natively to the cloud-native ecosystem. ### 7. Its provide cloud messaging, transparency and its awesome. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** Its hybrid cloud messaging service and integration of Microservices. **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** Its little difficult to configure compared to other mqs **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me to communicate with my Microservices hosted in Kubernetes cluster. ### 8. KubeMQ is very easy to install and implement and has many capabilities **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Networking | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** I like best that it provides so many messaging patterns in one product, which is extremely useful for our use case. It was also great to have such support from the company, they answered all our questions and were very helpful in the process. **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** There is no KubeMQ community yet, but i believe there will be soon :) **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were looking for a messaging platform that would allow us to use both pub-sub and queue, with high availability guaranteed and low latency. We also use Kubernetes and KubeMQ integrates into it very easily. ### 9. Kube **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** Ease of coding into asp and web services **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** Its limitation to integrability with c sharp and sql systems **Recommendations to others considering KubeMQ:** Try it before integrating **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** Integration with tax system api service ### 10. An easy-to-use microservice solution **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lewis T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2020 **What do you like best about KubeMQ?** KubeMQ allows me to use message queues, PubSub, and RPC all in one microservice, this means that I don't have to train my team on 3 different services I can just train them how to use this singular microservice. **What do you dislike about KubeMQ?** Their NodeJS SDKs code is quite hard to follow and doesn't have support for TypeScript, although this can be easily bridged as KubeMQ just uses GRPC and Rest. **What problems is KubeMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?** KubeMQ allows me to utilize different types of communication between apps that I wouldn't be able to use otherwise because the hosting of microservices would be too much. ## KubeMQ Discussions - [What is KubeMQ used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-kubemq-used-for) - [View KubeMQ pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/kubemq/reviews/kubemq-review-4331102?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-16+22%3A07%3A42+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=96294979-1725-444b-af7a-288c881dc559&secure%5Btoken%5D=fcda5915b67ad98c8c34d6191a62a1fec57a5b9b2572f755330eaa65ec79560b&format=llm_user) ## KubeMQ Features **Functionality** - Asynchronous Messaging - Language Support - Cloud-based Messaging - Latency **Integration** - Application Integration - Data Integration - Plugins and integrations **Management** - Policies and Controls - Security Monitoring - Activity Monitoring **Agentic AI - Message Queue (MQ)** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Proactive Assistance ## Top KubeMQ Alternatives - [Apache Kafka](https://www.g2.com/products/apache-kafka/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (127 reviews) - [RabbitMQ](https://www.g2.com/products/rabbitmq/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (45 reviews) - [Apache ActiveMQ](https://www.g2.com/products/apache-activemq/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (15 reviews)
