Difference Between MSMQ vs RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is the most widely and traditionally deployed open-source message broker. It is quite light in weight and easy to deploy on-premises and on the cloud. Also, it supports multiple messaging protocols and can run on many operating systems and cloud environments. It has tens of thousands of users. For implementing the Advanced Message Queue Protocol (AMQP), it was initially developed. It has 4 components- Producer, Exchange, Queue, and Consumer.

Advantages

• It is an open-source platform.
• Easy integration and system configuration
• Data traffic is minimum.
• Ready for enterprises and cloud
• The task of setting up and starting is easy.

Disadvantages

• Processing of large datasets is slow.
• Poor Documentation
• Premium integration services.

MSMQ is a simple store-and-forward queue and doesn’t provide any messaging patterns. It has its own queue, and this queue manages the messages till it is transferred to the receiver. This technology enables applications running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks and systems that may not be available online and temporarily offline. 

Advantages

• Good transaction support.
• Reliable message transmission, with offline support.
• It is free and built-in ships with Windows.
• It provides a store and forward mechanism.

Disadvantages

• MSMQ is not available on .NET Core.
• It requires more setup for load balancing

Difference between RabbitMQ and MSMQ

RabbitMQ	MSMQ
It is an open-source platform that is supported by the community.	It is an ownership platform that is supported by Microsoft.
It can work on all operating systems Windows, Mac, and Linux.	It can only work in Windows and not other Operating Systems.
The entire work is done by an external system called Exchange.	It has its own queue and uses it to complete the work.
For transmitting of messages to many receivers, it has many options.	For messages to transmit, it has limited options.
To manage distributed brokers, External plugins are used.	To manage distributed brokers, it is having an in-built feature.
In RabbitMQ, it is quite simple to create a queue and exchange it in the software.	In MSMQ, it is quite hard to create queues and exchange in the software.
