What platforms does HiveMQ support?
HiveMQ supports a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Can HiveMQ be self-hosted?
Yes. HiveMQ can be deployed cloud / SaaS, hybrid, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
What does HiveMQ integrate with?
We have confirmed 5 integrations for HiveMQ, including Kafka, Amazon Kinesis, AWS CloudWatch, Prometheus and Graphite. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
What security certifications does HiveMQ have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and ISO 27001 for HiveMQ. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as HiveMQ not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.
Where is HiveMQ available?
HiveMQ is available worldwide. Its primary markets are the United States and the EU.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for HiveMQ, not the verdict.
