It was very convenient library for real time control parts but since it doesn't guarantee delivery it sis not suitable for parts of the systems that requires persistency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZeroMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lightweight delivery of messages between components which didn't require delivery guarentee and inproc communication

What do you like best about ZeroMQ?

Nothing, really, absolutely nothing. 0MQ is a developer bait. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZeroMQ?

At the first sight, 0MQ looks like developers dream. Small, well contained, nicely encapsulated, brokerless messaging library. The issue is that 0MQ is poorly designed. Unclear and inefficient threading model with bottlenecks, difficult to provide message level security which would be acceptable for security savvy customers and its abstractions are difficult to understand and use for common engineers.

I am aware of at least 3 different projects in 3 different companies, which adopted 0MQ and then spent months / years trying to get rid of it. Everything looks nice in the development / test environment, but once you hit productions, things start to go south. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ZeroMQ:

Avoid at all costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZeroMQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were looking for small footprint, efficient, brokerless asynchronous messaging framework. This looks like one, but it is not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
