HiveMQ Platform Overview
The Enterprise Standard for IoT Data Steaming
HiveMQ provides the most trusted IoT data streaming platform, built on MQTT, to power a reliable, scalable, and AI-ready data backbone.
The IoT Data Streaming Platform
Providing a scalable, reliable data backbone with an event-driven MQTT architecture
Event-Driven Architecture
At the heart of the HiveMQ platform is the HiveMQ MQTT Broker. This is an event-driven messaging platform designed for fast, efficient, and reliable data movement between IoT devices and enterprise systems. 100% MQTT-compliant, it enables instant, bi-directional communication, ensuring seamless, real-time data exchange for automation, analytics, and AI-driven insights.
This creates a scalable, reliable, data-driven backbone all based on MQTT. Easily build a secure foundation for high-performance messaging to future-proof your enterprise.
Connect to Devices (OT)
Connect to any device using HiveMQ Edge. At the edge, it converts proprietary OT protocols like Modbus and OPC-UA into the MQTT format, simplifying the integration of manufacturing data with enterprise and cloud applications.
Use open-source MQTT client libraries to connect any device or system easily
Connect to IT Systems
Use our pre-build HiveMQ Extensions, connect to Data Steaming products like Kafka, Data Lakes like Snowflake, Databases like PosgreSQL, robust data security services like LDAP, and a variety of other IT services and applications.
We also provide an open-source custom SDK to build tailored extensions to any source.
Govern Your IoT Data
Take control of your IoT data with advanced data management tools. The HiveMQ Control Center monitors the health of the system, while HiveMQ enterprise security features ensure robust protection. HiveMQ Data Hub enables validation, enforcement, and transformation of data in motion, and HiveMQ Swarm tests the reliability and scalability of deployments.
HiveMQ has delivered the stability and reliability that we required for our system. We have been running the VDS using HiveMQ for 4 years and the HiveMQ broker has not gone down. It is rock solid, completely reliable. When we do have to restart the broker, it is a very fast process so our downtime is minimal. This is very important since we can’t stop the factory assembly line.

Distributed tracing
HiveMQ is the only MQTT broker that provides end-to-end visibility into MQTT PUBLISH messages across the IoT ecosystem.
Real-time KPI dashboard
Distributed tracing and the HiveMQ Control Center combines logging and 2000+ monitoring metrics to make any MQTT deployment fully observable.
Enterprise-Grade Security
TLS / SSL Encryption
Authentication & authorization
Configurable security controls
Integration with third party enterprise security systems
A big reason we chose HiveMQ is that we can run HiveMQ everywhere: AWS, Google, Azure, really on any cloud or on-premise. We can run HiveMQ on top of OpenShift or Kubernetes. There is no vendor lock-in with HiveMQ and we aren’t forced to send our data to a single vendor’s platform. The ability to run HiveMQ on-premise or on customer-provided infrastructure is also an important requirement. HiveMQ gives us this freedom.
