We performed a comparison between Anypoint MQ and IBM MQ 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."Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The high availability and session recovery are the most valuable features because we need the solution live all day."
"I haven't seen any severe issues related to it. Most of the time it's running. That is the advantage of IBM MQ."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features are RDQM and queue sharing."
"It runs everywhere, from the mainframe in the US to the PCs in the Gobi desert attached to an analog modem."
"The reliability of the queuing is the most valuable feature."
"Reliability is the most valuable feature. MQ is used to support critical business applications."
"Combined with IBM MQ, this product is our primary data store."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"We would like to see the IBM technical support team extend their hand to providing support for other cloud vendors like Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS"
"What could be improved is the high-availability. The way MQ works is that it separates the high-availability from the workload balance. The scalability should be easier. If something happens so that the messages are not available on each node, scalability is only possible for the workload balance."
"IBM HQ's scalability isn't the best."
"IBM MQ could improve by adding more protocols or APIs for a standard application, such as MuleSoft."
"I have used the support from IBM MQ. There is some room for improvement."
"I would like the ability to connect with some of the more recent offerings, such as API Connect; being able to publish our MQ endpoints, the queues, the messaging infrastructure as IT assets."
"I would like to see it integrate with the newer ways of messaging, such as Kafka. They might say that you have IBM Integration Bus to do that stuff, but it would be great if MQ could, out-of-the-box, listen to public Kafka."
"The integration capabilities could be even easier."
