The feature comparison between TDMQ for MQTT and native open-source MQTT protocol is as follows:
Feature Category
Feature
TDMQ for MQTT
Other Open-Source MQTT Implementations
Basic Feature
Visual Console
Provides pages for managing MQTT clusters and devices, with detailed displays of information such as QoS and device subscription relationships.
Different implementations vary in quality. Some projects lack a standard console, manage metadata via a command-line interface, and require customers to develop their own management console.
Message Query
Messages can be queried by time range and specific topics. More conditional queries will be supported in the future.
Not supported by most industry-standard implementations.
Message Trace
Message delivery traces and history can be queried by message ID or client ID.
Not supported by most industry-standard implementations.
Multi-Protocol Support
Supports multiple protocols including MQTT, TLS, and WebSocket.
Not supported.
Ops Capabilities
Underlying Architecture Awareness
Requires monitoring only the cluster's quota and TPS levels. The underlying architecture is abstracted.
Requires managing the underlying machines and monitoring the architecture and various machine parameters.
Cross-AZ High-Availability Deployment
Supports cross-AZ high-availability deployment to avoid IDC-level failures.
Requires O&M personnel to plan deployments and configure parameters manually.
Scaling Capability
Users perform visual configuration changes on the console as needed.
O&M personnel perform manual command-line operations, with low levels of automation and visual management capabilities.
Certificate Management
Integrates with Tencent Cloud SSL certificate management, providing web-based certificate management and notifications prior to expiration.
Users need to manage certificates themselves and continuously monitor their expiration dates.
Observability
Resource Dashboard
Core metric observation, production and consumption reports, and fine-grained monitoring.
Not supported.
Alarm Management
Integrates with Tencent Cloud Cloud Monitor alarms, supporting alarms for metrics such as connection count and latency.
Not supported.
Security Control
Distributed Traffic Throttling
Ensures cluster security by throttling requests that exceed specified limits.
Not supported. This can easily lead to cluster overload and make it unusable.
Authentication Policy
Supports multiple authentication policies, such as SSL certificates, one-device-one-certificate, and one-device-one-secret, and integrates with third-party authentication sources such as JWT and HTTP services.
Supports basic username and password authentication only.
Authorization Policy
Supports multiple authorization policies across multiple dimensions (client ID, topic, IP, and so on), and priority management for different policies.
Not supported.
Root Account and Sub-account Management
Supports Tencent Cloud root and sub-accounts, enabling Cloud Access Management (CAM)-based account management along with cross-account authorization services across enterprises.
Not supported.
