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."Overall the solution operates well and has good integration."
"It is very robust and very scalable."
"What is quite useful is the asynchronous function which means we don't lose everything in the bank. Although we use a lot of things synchronously, asynch is the best thing so that no banking information is ever lost, even when the network goes down and comes up."
"A stable and reliable software that offers good integration between different systems."
"The initial setup is easy."
"We like IBM MQ for our synchronous communications and transactional applications that require a lot of CPS."
"Assists with our apps and has great message processing."
"There are a lot of extensible options for security, i.e., various things you can do. It's pretty easy to navigate."
"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."
"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."
"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."
"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."
"I don’t like legacy view of MQ."
"It could get a face lift with a modern marketing campaign."
"I would just like a more user-friendly experience to do common administration tasks. I know that you can use MQ Explorer, but having something that's already built in would definitely be useful."
"You should be able to increase the message size. It should be dynamic. Each queue has a limitation of 5,000."
"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."
"The memory management is very poor and it consumes too much memory."
"Scalability is lacking compared to the cloud native products coming into the market."
"IBM HQ's scalability isn't the best."
"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."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
