The product is free but contains commercial features. The free version includes main ActiveMQ SNMPv2 monitor. A Thorough product review to follow. The product is provided by a company called TTM Solutions (Total Transaction Management)

Another ActiveMQ Performance Test

This one is posted by @bubble. The test covers throughput vs message size and throughput vs persistence. The test looks reasonably professional however I disagree with the author that commercial products such as from Tibco and IBM are expensive. WebSphere MQ and Tibco messagesing are now commodity products in their company’s product portfolio. Dual core, dual socket would only run about 10K license and 2.5K support. Not cheap but not expensive for enterprise software either. Considering you’re getting so much more stability and maturity.
