    TIBCO is an alternate method but does not meet all the needs of cloud -native system.

    Chose TIBCO Messaging
    We chose TIBCO Messaging not just for its performance but because it looked like the natural way to pave our existing TIBCO Integration architecture. Setting up TIBCO EMS servers and objects seems more straightforward than with most of competitors. It is easy to configure and …

    Chose TIBCO Messaging
    We also use other messaging products: IBM MQ, especially for integration with other systems (server2server), which has been an industry standard for a long time, and Apache Kafka for cloud-native applications. EMS is a worse option compared to them, but it is still acceptable.

    Chose TIBCO Messaging
    MQ was way more expensive and it is limited in many ways against TIBCO Enterprise Message Service. MQ does not allow easy topic to queue bridging and also requires much more configuration for basic types of activities. Does not support all of the same JMS headers that TIBCO …

    TIBCO is not the industry leader in general but for our unique case and also because we also deployed TIBCO MFT Platform Server, it was the go to choice. The recent improvements like container support also gave us confidence that this is a product for the future. Moving from an …

    Chose TIBCO Messaging
    TIBCO Enterprise Message Service serves as a "barebone" service in our environment. Some applications use TIBCO Rendezvous, others EMS. This allowed us to evaluate the differences and I saw that EMS is more robust and open to different programming languages. In particular, the …

    IBM MQ was the old product we used, and we migrated from it to TIBCO EMS. We use also RabbitMQ for our light-weight IPC scenarios and Kafka for our data stream use cases. They 3 compose our complete messaging and streaming solution.

    At the time we made the selection and purchase, we found it to be a performant technology. Also, TIBCO was a young company at that time. In order to have us as ther first major client, they accepted to give us a huge discount on their products, including EMS (that's the main …

    Chose TIBCO Messaging
    IBM MQ series is a messaging product . You will need to use IBM product suit heavily and it works better but personaly I have not used it. Apache MQ is also a messaging bus and I have come across it with SAP . EMS is light weigh as its written in C language and easy to implement.

    TIBCO Enterprise Message Service was selected because of the contract with TIBCO. We generally see company buying other TIBCO products such as TIBCO BusinessWorks and then TIBCO offers some discount on their "minor" products.

    We selected TIBCO EMS because we selected TIBCO BW as an ESB. TIBCO EMS must be installed in the TIBCO BW stack. I prefer TIBCO EMS because it implements very powerful functionality like bridges and routing.

    Cloud Software Group
    Organization which uses TIBCO Business Works or TIBCO Business Process Management or TIBCO BPM Enterprise can make use of TIBCO Messaging as it works well with other TIBCO tools. Many TIBCO tools have TIBCO Messaging products bundled as a package along with other TIBCO tools. Use of dynamic topics and queues makes run time processing easier.

    Pros
    Cloud Software Group
    • Tibco EMS performs very well, and it meets our stringent performance requirements for corporate messaging backbone.
    • Tibco EMS scales well, and this is another of our stringent requirements.
    • Tibco provides good support for the EMS product, and continues to improve it. This is important as we don't want to use something that does not keep up with the changes in the technology landscape.

    Cons
    Cloud Software Group
    • In terms of TIBCO Messaging, it would nice to have a more out-of-the-box way of linking its objects (queues, topics) directly to those of other popular solutions like MQ or Kafka.
    • Not being able to filter (that is, using selectors) through patterns/subtexts on the message body is missed on occasions.
    • Given the current trends and state-of-art, lift & shift of on-premise EMS clusters to cloud architectures should be more directly attainable.

    EMS is a solid system and I see no reason to abandon it, in fact I am eager to see what the next versions will offer and future road maps. Knowing we have support to help us in case of problems is invaluable, both in case of critical issues and to improve overall performance.
