We performed a comparison between IBM MQ and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Queue (MQ) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."RabbitMQ and Kafka require more steps for setup than IBM MQ. Installation of the IBM product is very simple."
"The first things are its simplicity and its robustness. Compared to any other product, it's the most robust I've worked with. And it's extremely easy to manage."
"IBM is still adding some features and coding some other systems on the security end. However, it has the most security features I've seen in a communication solution. Security is the most important thing for our purposes."
"Overall the solution operates well and has good integration."
"A stable and reliable software that offers good integration between different systems."
"The feature I find most effective for ensuring message delivery without loss is the backup threshold. This feature allows for automatic retries of transactional messages within a specified threshold."
"The solution is stable."
"It improves reliability and guarantees that messages are not lost."
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"I'm not sure that current version has event-driven mechanism requests that people go for. I would like the latest version to come with both type of event mechanisms: an email server and a POP server. If that is not there, then that would be a great addition."
"More documentation would be good because some features are not deeply implemented."
"Customer support response times could be improved."
"MQ needs instruments for connection with new modern queues like Kafka or RabbitMQ."
"The memory management is very poor and it consumes too much memory."
"If they could have some front-end monitoring tool that could be easily available for the team to use, that could be great."
"The integration capabilities could be even easier."
"If they could come up with monitoring dashboards that would be good. We are using external monitoring tools, apart from our IBM MQ, to monitor IBM MQ. If we could get monitoring tools or dashboards to keep everything simple for the user to understand, that would be good."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"The availability could be better."
