HiveMQ Pricing Overview

HiveMQ Cloud service has been a literal savior to our small start-up. We particularly love the ease with which it is to manage client certificates which enable a secure connection to the device. The in-built monitoring dashboards are excellent as well. They allowed us to identify possible problems and bottlenecks in our IoT data streams in real time.

I would like the documentation to have more applicable examples to particular industrial protocols. Some of the personal authentication options required time to set up and the original cost schedule was a bit disorienting. It could have been made clearer in the beginning.

The biggest positive thing about HiveMQ is that it keeps stable connections to a large number of devices. It has alleviated a lot of issues caused by message loss when working with a network of sensors that need constant interaction and we use it for that. Device authentication is also helped by the platform, which stops making our system vulnerable to unauthorised access. Reliable way to manage device connections has made it much better workflow and helped devices run exactly as they should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of HiveMQ is that putting in the time to properly configure HiveMQ for optimal performance is a chore. Careful planning also need to be given to setting up message queues, the definition of security policies and alteration of retention settings. The platform is powerful but it does take effort to get everything running smoothly. The other third is managing costs as usage proliferates. Scaling up can be expensive on this pricing model and has also made us careful about how we allocate resources to prevent any unnecessary expenses on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
