Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
