    RabbitMQ: It got the job done

    4.0
    May 28, 2026
    It was somewhat bumpy at first, but the product has matured and stabilized over time. Troubleshooting can be difficult, as system faults are often described as Erlang errors that are not intelligible for us.

    The implementation of RabbitMQ is made easier by detailed documentation.

    5.0
    Mar 3, 2026
    The installation of RabbitMQ in my company was a success. Thanks to comprehensive documentation, the setup was smooth and quite simple. The tool is essential for microservices architecture, as it allows for effective application monitoring and ensures that messages flow without loss between the different components.

    RabbitMQ Provides Protocol Flexibility but Requires Expert Management at Scale

    4.0
    Sep 8, 2025
    RabbitMQ provides protocol flexibility by supporting AMQP, MQTT, STOMP and more, making it interoperable across many languages and platforms. It also helps in handling high throughput and horizontal scaling. However, we have had to invest some time in tuning and monitoring, especially as traffic and complexity grew.

Reviewer Insights for: VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ
Performance of VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ Across Market Features

VMware Tanzu RabbitMQ Likes & Dislikes

Like

It's easy to install and maintain and really stable over time. Its simplicity, combined with strong performance make it well suited for asynchronous workloads. It is FREE !

Like

Enterprise messaging on an OSS protocol and strong community

Like

Easy deployment Comprehensive documentation A highly reliable graphical interface

Automated Translation from French
Dislike

Maybe the UI is a little bit old and the lack of detailed historical data directly from the UI.

Dislike

Troubleshooting can be difficult, as system faults are described as Erlang errors that can be difficult for us to understand. The management plane is bundled with the core broker features and instability in either can impact both.

Dislike

It can consume a lot of memory. Clusters can become more complex. Default security is not very good.
