Solace

“We have seen at least a 50 percent increase in productivity (compared to using Kafka) when using Solace for the following use cases: Sharing changes in real-time; Onboarding new subscribers; Modifying data sets.”

“Solace support is the best that I’ve experienced amongst any of the vendors that I deal with. The competitors I am referring to are TIBCO, Kafka, MQ, and EMS.”

“Solace distinguished itself with topic building and scalabilty. When in cloud, you can quickly scale up. With Kafka, the challenge comes when you design a solution that has topic management. How do you make a topic discoverable? How do you define the dependencies between one topic and a subscriber? From a monitoring perspective, I also feel Solace has a better product.”

“In my assessment of Solace against other products… I worked with multiple platforms like RabbitMQ, Confluent, Kafka, and various other tools in the market. But I found the event mesh capability to be a very interesting, as well as a fulfilling capability towards what we want to achieve from a digital-integration-strategy point of view.”

“The idea that we can position Solace as a protocol-agnostic message transport fabric is key to our company having all manners of asynchronous messaging protocols from MQ, Kafka, JMS, etc. I really like the WAN optimization: Send once over a WAN, then distribute locally as many times as there are subscribers.”

““Given that my core strength is integration, I work with integration platforms such as MuleSoft, Azure functions, then TIBCO. Based on our requirements, I found that the event-driven APA implementation with Solace was easier. Solace also has a top-notch solution for portal management and you register your producers, consumers, and preprocessing logic.””

“Solace is truly the best company that we have to deal with when it comes to tech support. In the role that I have I deal with about 100 different vendors, everything from market data exchanges to software vendors, through the likes of IBM and Microsoft, etc… 10 years later, Solace is still the only company where I have zero outstanding issues, or unknown items, or support tickets that they haven’t resolved.”

“COVID-19 has resulted in unprecedented trading volumes and volatility, but even as we’ve climbed from 65 billion messages a day to over 95 billion, we’ve had no outages or degradations in performance in our critical market data and messaging applications. Our Solace messaging and eventing platform took the data increases in stride.”

“What's really remarkable about the solutions we get from Solace is how much they unleash our capacity to do very high-throughput transactions... really at the speed of light.”

“Solace is allowing us to better compete in the next decade with a fully flexible, state-of-the-art infrastructure.”

“Solace PubSub capabilities particularly Dynamic Topic Routing has been a valuable product feature. It helped us offload the responsibilities of routing, subscription and load balancing to the consumer.”

“Compared to other solution providers I’ve dealt with over the course of 20+ years, Solace has been the easiest to work with. Due to the scalability and performance issues we experienced with open source messaging solutions, I wish we would have discovered Solace about 3 years earlier.”

“Solace is definitely an “Enterprise” company in that they take customer support and the reliability of their product very very seriously – far more so than any strictly open source product. We have had a number of their hardware brokers deployed in production for five years and have had zero downtime. They basically just run and run with no drama – the best possible praise for a message broker.”

“It is super important when you third-party software in a hybrid cloud environment to be able to choose where you deploy this software. With Solace PubSub+, I could as well deploy it in an on-prem environment, as in the Public Cloud datacenter of my choice. This gives you the right amount of control.”

“Solace PubSub+ is an enabler for us: Wide interoperability capabilities, simplicity of architecture, hybrid deployment capabilities, performance & security, reasonable cost & clear license model. I enjoy working with Solace’s Team.”

“We would recommend Solace to anyone who needs low latency and highly resilient messaging solutions. Solace also leads the way for enterprise messaging and next-gen DevOps journey, by providing multiple options to access the infrastructure – UI, CLI and API – giving users a lot of opportunities for innovating automated solutions for operations and continuous delivery.”

“We have installed a “Solace PubSub+ Brokers as a Service” platform in our Azure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and the experience and feedback from our users have been great! The product offerings are reliable, fast, and innovative! We are very impressed, not only on the superb quality of the product, but also on the effectiveness and responsiveness of the professional support from the vendor.”

“The Solace PubSub+ Product is great. Solace makes messaging easy and seamless. Solace has made it even easier especially with the hybrid integration to the cloud. All the major projects that we have started in the past 12 years have all included technology from Solace.”

“Solace has been an important part of our success in streamlining interactions between our order management processes and logistics service providers, and we see them more as a partner than a supplier.”

“Becoming the best connected brewer means providing all our internal and external customers with real-time access to data provided through our integration assets, and ensuring those integration processes work effectively, consistently, without disruption.””

“Event-driven integration is really a core strategic capability for us moving forward. Our ultimate goal is to build seamless digital interactions across the entire value chain, and provide all HEINEKEN solution owners internally, and our partners externally, all of the information they need to make smart decisions.”

“In the past we’d see hundreds or thousands of point-to-point scenarios. Now that we are leveraging the 1-to-many integration patterns, an application only has to produce an event (like and order of beer) once, and any other applications in the system (production, shipping, fulfillment, inventory, payments, cloud data lake etc.) can subscribe to what they want to receive, and get it when it’s published.”

““Sonos is a premium company with a best-of-breed approach to application selection and Solace was a natural fit for that strategy. With Solace, we have been able to engineer for scalability as well as agility in adapting to ever-changing business needs.””

““Solace has been an important part of our success in streamlining interactions between our order management processes and logistics service providers.””

““The positive results led Danone to expand Solace to other sites and now the goal is to extend beyond the factories, enhancing integration with finance, HR and quality tools, as well as distribution centers.””
