The areas for improvement include cost, which is a primary concern. The deployment process is simple, but the cost is very important. Additionally, the management portal should be more user-friendly for new users. There are some complications and areas where users get confused or sometimes may not understand. The portal should add more information about servers, whether individual, standalone, or on-premise, whatever service or application is running. If someone is new to the company and there is no documentation, they might get confused about where their server is running, whether it is a virtual machine, standalone, or on-premise.

The turnaround of adopting new versions of underlying technologies sometimes is too slow. The solution is always running a number of versions behind the latest version. They need to run plenty of tests and have confidence in the version to give their commercial support for it. If the solution can release new versions quicker, it would be great, because the features are not coming quickly for Red Hat AMQ.

This product needs better visualization capabilities in general. The toolset should be improved to better support developer productivity. This is a point that would be greatly appreciated. They're moving in the right direction but it needs to improve. The licensing structure is good but it takes a little bit to understand. As such, it should be more clear.

There are some aspects of the monitoring that could be improved on. There is a tool that is somewhat connected to Kafka called Service Registry. This is a product by Red Hat that I would like to see integrated more tightly.

AMQ is not offered as a separate offering anymore. It comes only as a part of the Red Hat Integration package. Therefore, if you would like to purchase a specific product, you can't do that. You need to go with a larger package, which is sometimes not desirable. In our case, we actually upgraded this to the bigger package from Red Hat, so this works in our favor.
There are several areas in this solution that need improvement, including clustering multi-nodes and message ordering. There should be better support for having messages be ordered per bucket. Technical support for this solution needs improvement.
To respond to business demands quickly and efficiently, you need a way to integrate the applications and data spread across your enterprise. Red Hat JBoss A-MQ—based on the Apache ActiveMQ open source project—is a flexible, high-performance messaging platform that delivers information reliably, enabling real-time integration and connecting the Internet of Things (IoT).

We are interested in a better monitoring tool for all the messages exchanged. We expect a very good monitoring tool for maintenance.
The product needs to improve its documentation and training.
AMQ could be better integrated with Jira and patch management tools.
Red Hat AMQ's cost could be improved, and it could have better integration.
