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.
"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."
"A stable and reliable software that offers good integration between different systems."
"The MQ protocol is widely used across multiple applications and it's so simple for connectivity."
"Data integrity, reliability and security are valuable features that IBM MQ possesses."
"Encryption and the fact that we have not had any data loss issues so far have been very valuable features. IBM MQ is well encrypted so that we are well within our compliance and regulatory requirements, so that is a plus point as well."
"It improves reliability and guarantees that messages are not lost."
"The solution is stable."
"Has helped integrate between applications, reduce rework, and costs by reusing working components of existing applications."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"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."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"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."
"MQ needs instruments for connection with new modern queues like Kafka or RabbitMQ."
"The issue is that they're using a very old clustering model."
"Sometimes, not all messages are consumed in the queues. File transfers need improvement."
"The installation of product upgrades and patches is very difficult. It requires the use of the IBM Installation Manager (IM)."
"They could integrate monitoring into the solution, a bit more than they do now. Currently, they have opened the REST API so you can get statistic and accounting information and details from MQ and build your own monitoring, if you want. IBM can improve the solution in this direction."
"If they could have some front-end monitoring tool that could be easily available for the team to use, that could be great."
"IBM MQ could improve capacity, monitoring, and automatization."
"The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
