We performed a comparison between IBM MQ and TIBCO Enterprise Message Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Activity Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use queue managers/concentrators for message flow going upstream and downstream on applications with enterprise licenses."
"IBM HQ's stability is great - we send six million messages a day, and we're very satisfied with HQ's ability to handle that volume."
"I appreciate the level of control we have over queue managers, queues, and the messaging itself. That provides good security. So, the control and scalability of messaging are important to me."
"It runs everywhere, from the mainframe in the US to the PCs in the Gobi desert attached to an analog modem."
"It's highly scalable. It provides various ways to establish high availability and workloads. E.g., you can spread workloads inside of your clusters."
"The most valuable feature is the Queue Manager, which lies in the middle between our application and our core banking server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution can scale well."
"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."
"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."
"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."
"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."
"They need to add the ability to send full messages (header + payload) from the MQ Explorer program, not just the payload."
"We need to have a better administration console and better monitoring features. Right now, they are not good and could be a lot better."
"The main issue we are having with the solution is due to the connection dropouts which have been going on for a long time now."
"It is expensive. The cost is high. There should be more improvement in the new age of technologies."
"It's not always easy for applications to connect to IBM MQ, but I think it's fine in general."
"IBM MQ's pricing is higher than its competitors'."
"Customer support response times could be improved."
"It should support a wider range of protocols, not just a few specific ones. Many other products have broader protocol support, and IBM MQ is lagging in that area."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."
"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
