Abstract Message‐oriented middleware (MOM) has become a vital part of the complex application integration projects. MOM is used to pass data and workflow in the form of messages between different enterprise applications. The performance of integrated applications greatly depends on how effectively the MOM performs. This paper presents a benchmark comparison between two industry well‐known MOMs—TIBCO Rendezvous (TIB/RV) and SonicMQ. Although the two MOMs are very similar in certain respects, their native implementation and architecture are very different. We provide an unbiased benchmark reference to the middleware selection process. The primary objective of our work is to evaluate and compare the MOMs by testing their effectiveness in the delivery of messages in publish/subscribe and point‐to‐point message domains, their program stability and the system resource utilization.
