Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is highly scalable, this is very important for us. It can handle a lot of messages.""The features that I have found most valuable are that it is very easy to develop. Most of it is graphical, but we also have the option to add any custom call that you need.""The Messenger Broker is a really good feature.""ESB: Provides all kind of possibilities to resolve business needs. A lot of ready to use services plus custom Java services. I used a lot of them all.""SDM: User-friendly tool which allows for a seamless approach to performing hotfixes, if required.""The solution offers excellent stability."

"Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ.""It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format.""The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable.""It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy.""Straightforward development and deployment.""The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective.""The solution has good integration.""We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern."

Cons
"It should include/add more services with the product as per market demand. It should include custom Java services developed by any organization or provide a platform where users/developers can share ideas/custom services, etc.""Aurea CX Messenger could improve by making better use of the new APIs""The improvement is that it should be on the cloud and use web services.""You should not hurry with upgrades without testing the whole product completely.""I don't know if the last version has the cloud option, but maybe that could be good. That could be something that is included.""The solution needs to improve support for new, more recent protocols on the API."

More Aurea CX Messenger Cons →

"The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight.""Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved.""The solution can add container engines such as docker.""Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM.""Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""The installation configuration is quite difficult.""I know that Message Broker was a very tightly copied product with another IBM product, that is, IBM MQ. I would like to have a little bit more decoupling from the IBM MQ because it should not be a prerequisite for IBM WebSphere Message Broker usage.""Technical support is good but they could have a better response time."
