We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage.""We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern.""The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution.""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.""It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy.""The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable.""Straightforward development and deployment.""Performance-wise, this solution is really good."

"It is efficient to fine-tune some of our organizational processes and policies.""The tool helps to do multiple things like assigning tasks, approvals, report creation, and communications.""I find it easy to navigate, especially when it comes to tasks like extending offer letters. Everything is configured into a single template, eliminating the need to create multiple offer letters for different positions. The effectiveness, user-friendliness, and adaptability to new features are key strengths of Workday. It's also convenient for sourcing, allowing us to revisit candidates who performed well but didn't pass the interview. Workday's harmonized platform brings everything together in one place, making it efficient and streamlined."

Cons
"Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""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 very slow and needs to be improved.""The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is.""Technical support is good but they could have a better response time.""Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM.""The installation configuration is quite difficult.""It is currently a weighty product."

"We encountered delays with the tool.""There could be more automation included.""At times, I've heard from our technical team that configuring or implementing certain requests from senior leadership can be challenging. There seem to be constraints in fulfilling specific requirements. Unfortunately, I don't have detailed information as it's what I've gathered from discussions with the technical team. There might be limitations in what can be achieved, but I can't provide specific examples without more context. Certainly, there's room for enhancement, especially in terms of regular upgrades. I've noticed that there aren't many updates, and it would be beneficial to have improvements. Regular upgrades and the introduction of new, innovative solutions could make our work more efficient and easier to manage."
