## Reviews

### "ActiveMQ Review" — 5.0/5

> **Jean Raphael** | *28 December 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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" — 5.0/5

> **Antonio** | *25 February 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> Esperienza positiva in quanto molto intuitivo e semplice da usare.
