Overall Satisfaction with Pivotal RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is our service bus and is how we perform communication across our microservice APIs. We have about a dozen or so microservices which all make use of RabbitMQ. It's extremely integral to our systems and the fact that you can send a message with built-in fault tolerance is pretty incredible when you think about it.
  • Messaging
  • Fault Tolerance
  • Ease of Integration
  • The admin dashboard could use some improvements
  • Can be difficult to administer the bus
  • Cross platform communication
  • Fault Tolerance
  • Huge positive impact, there have been times when systems have gone down but once we spin them back up the RabbitMQ consumers can continue processing messages in the queue/

Do you think RabbitMQ delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with RabbitMQ's feature set?

Yes

Did RabbitMQ live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of RabbitMQ go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy RabbitMQ again?

Yes

Very well suited for cross-platform communication while solving the problem of fault tolerance with built-in retry mechanisms. It's less appropriate for communication within a single service.
