### "ActiveMQ Review"

5.0

January 4, 2023

Pros

I deployed ActiveMQ as a messaging middleware for helping heterogeneous services/applications to communicate together. Indeed, this broker guarantees the transmission of the messages between the services via numerous protocols (i.e., MQTT, AMQP...).

Cons

There are several powerful and open source messaging brokers, ActiveMQ is useful but personally I prefer RabbitMQ as it is better documented.

### "Ottima soluzione per la comunicazione tra differenti sistemi"

5.0

March 1, 2023

Esperienza positiva in quanto molto intuitivo e semplice da usare.

Pros

Una soluzione perfetta per mettere in comunicazione sistemi con diverse tecnologie. Si possono accodare le richieste senza sovraccaricare il sistema principale. Si può amministrare con una semplice interfaccia web.

Cons

Se si incontrano problemi, la documentazione è molto scarsa e non è molto diffusa. È difficile trovare persone che conoscano questo software. Il funzionamento è simile ad altri sistemi per le code per compiti semplici.

Pros
