Role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems
* We now have the possibility of getting a central perspective on all tenants. * We have defined access roles for developers. Therefore, they can 'read in' their queues on the development and testing stages. With special roles, they may also write. This improves our development and testing cycle. * For operative systems, we have restricted the access. Still, selected people can react if something is happening in the various BOQs.

Chaos experiments have revealed weak points and now provide controlled cost-saving tests
The best features of Gremlin Reliability Management Platform are the safe failure injection, which is crucial as we can simulate the failures in a manner that we know these are just dumping tests and not the actual issues. Whether it is the CPU spike or the memory exhaustion, or the network latency, or the server shutdown, server shutdown is one of the most favorite features that I have in Gremlin Reliability Management Platform. The controlled blast radius is another standout feature. The controlled blast radius feature has helped my team in that we actually wanted to target only one specific container, our Docker containers that we deployed. It helped us to conduct tests in a very specific, isolated manner instead of launching a larger test or focusing on hundreds of servers at a time, resulting in very limited impact. Since ours is a very small team, we do not want to impact other servers. This controlled blast radius helped us to only focus on our servers and not impact any other team. Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has positively impacted my organization because before Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we did not even know how to conduct these chaos engineering tests. We heard about it, but we had no idea of how to do something of that nature. If there are ten servers, ten systems in our architecture and if suddenly something goes down, nobody knew what would happen next. We did not even know how to simulate these types of tests. This lack of confidence has been mitigated by using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform. Now we can confidently test and see which system is the most critical. If this goes down, what happens? How much business valuation are we going to impact? How much loss are we going to incur? All of this is now clearly visible and transparent. Since using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we were able to reduce the incidents by six percent after conducting our limited experiments. We were also able to increase the uptime from ninety-eight to ninety-nine, which represents a one percent increase in uptime.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"I highly recommend Infrared360 for an all-in-one IBM MQ tool."
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities."
"Administration, Monitoring, and Delegation are the most valuable features of the solution."
"IR360 does not require a large team to manage our entire middleware estate and allows the leveraging of a logical model of reuse."
"The product has a small footprint on our system, they're very knowledgeable of MQ, which we use, and the features that they provide for monitoring our MQ system are just really, really good."
"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system"
"We are seeing a return on investment from using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform because we are getting less production issues by thirty percent, as I mentioned earlier, making it a great investment."
"Since using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform, we were able to reduce the incidents by six percent after conducting our limited experiments, and we were also able to increase the uptime from ninety-eight to ninety-nine, which represents a one percent increase in uptime."
"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform is amazing with the reliability score, providing built-in Chaos Engineering experiments that you run on your service to receive a reliability score along with insights on the issues and risks present in your service that you can examine and work on."
"More than anything, we fix failures even before they occur, which is basically proactive risk detection and risk mitigation."
"Using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has raised more than fifty percent of the reliability of the infrastructure."
"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform has impacted my organization positively as it helped a lot and reduced our failures, allowing us to find critical pinpoints in our application that had existed for three to ten months and led to too many improvements, reduced downtime, and a smoother experience for our application on AWS."
"The Enterprise Reliability Platform has positively impacted my organization as it has significantly increased the efficiency and reliability of our systems."
 

Cons

"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."
"The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"I think Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can be improved by integrating with more AWS services or GCP services."
"If you really look at the cost-benefit visibility, it is not very evident by using Gremlin Reliability Management Platform."
"I think that it will be important to have resources to perform self-directed studies on Gremlin Reliability Management Platform as an improvement."
"Gremlin Reliability Management Platform can be improved as the pricing is a bit expensive and the learning curve for beginners is a bit difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our internal budget calculation model incorporates the pricing per endpoint for any new projects. However, as our footprint for distributed queue managers shrinks as part of our shared middleware hub deployment, the initial licensing and support costs have been reduced over the last five years."
"Start small, then increase licensing later as per your demand."
"Avada Software's licensing metric is very good because the license fees are based on the number of connections (which have not increased for us very much over the years) rather than the CPU processing power (which increases significantly whenever our hardware is upgraded) or the number of users (which has increased for us a lot since our original purchase)."
"Because the licensing is at the QMGR level, you need to have at least a small cushion of licenses for occasional enterprise needs."
