IBM MQ

Security and Data Encryption: IBM MQ provides robust security features, including data encryption and authentication mechanisms, to protect messages during transmission.

Message Routing: It excels at routing messages to the appropriate destinations based on criteria like message content, destination availability, or message priority.

Message Transformation: IBM MQ can be used to transform messages as they move through the system. For example, it can convert messages from one format to another, such as translating XML to JSON, making it valuable for integrating different systems with varying data formats

Reliable Message Delivery: IBM MQ ensures that messages are delivered reliably and once-only, even in the presence of network failures or system crashes. It stores messages in a queue until the receiving application is ready to process them. This reliability is crucial in financial transactions, healthcare systems, and other applications where data integrity is paramount.

Cloud Integration: While IBM MQ can be used in cloud environments, more native integrations and features optimized for cloud deployments

Improved REST Support: While IBM MQ has introduced REST APIs, there may be room for improvement in terms of providing more comprehensive and RESTful integration options to align with modern microservices architectures

Open Source Ecosystem Integration: IBM MQ could enhance integration with open-source messaging technologies, such as Apache Kafka, to support a wider range of use cases and foster interoperability

It runs on client platform so that it can easy to use.

Continually looks to add new functions.

Support of product is excellent

There is limitation on number of svrconn connections you can have to MQ on the mainframe which has been an major issue for us. This has been an issue for us for over 4 years and still no fix although I am aware IBM have been working on a solution over the last year.

When upgrading to MQ V9.3 on our MQ appliances there is no fall-back option. This was the same for MQ V9.2 upgrade from MQ V9.0. For production upgrades this I believe is not acceptable.

AMS is not supplied as part of the standard mainframe MQ licence. You need an extra licence. IBM tell customers how important security and protecting data is yet they still want to charge for this software. The cost of MQ on the mainframe is not cheap so I would expect AMS to be part of the base product.

Reliable and Fast Message Delivery: This service helped us a lot in customer notifications front.

High Availability - Because of high availability , we were able to use it for transaction processing very efficiently

Asynchronous Communication

Message Tracing and Debugging within the chain of message passing is very difficult. Tracking message paths is very difficult. There needs to be some way implemented which is more user friendly

Containerization of MQ service and integration with Kubernetes is something if possible will be very helpful

Documentation and Training material should be improved for easy integration

The WebConsole is limited in advanced functionality

stable

consistent

support by vendor

big community

Better performance on mqft filetransfer, when agents are far apart. (latency)

Easier api for developers.

next to mqtt, have an open standard, free to use? I see that other products, kafka are increasingly becoming the "messaging standard."

exchange of the application in a secure way with speed, and reliability with a cloud solution.

Secure system for data

excellent message queueing the product.

Overall performance is good in this product.

Message queueing will take more time, and need to be reduced the time.

Security checks are excellent but sometimes they will scan whole things.

Prevention of attacks on information.

Queue monitors.

Sending security in documents and messages.

It runs asynchronously, so there will be no loss of any information.

Some problems with recent updates, they have not worked properly and it is a problem at the moment. Everything else is going very well.

There is not much to dislike so nothing needs to be improved

The documentation is very clear,It is understandable and the support helps to configure it in the best way.

Server guidelines make it possible to get the most out of work management. It's broad, we can work with different operating systems, I really recommend using linux.

It is highly compatible with systems, brockers, applications, and data accumulation programs, it is possible to configure everything so that after the installation of programs, they can communicate with each other and then throw data to an external program that accumulates it and represents in clear details of steps to follow and make business decisions.

It can be impressibly difficult at first to install for a person who does not know servers. It is thought that the IT area knows how to implement everything but they are specialties and the program with its documentation and manuals thought of this for users not so friendly to this area. It takes a volume of several people to set everything up in 1 week, the workload is arduous, perhaps if this were done with video tutorials it would be seen in a more professional and didactic way.

The notifications and warnings are its strengths, quickly when seeing an error warns us with a pop-up window to the command center of the person in charge who is attentive to these situations to generate the respective repair.

The tracking is fabulous, the meaning of this for us is that we can keep track at the end of the month of the applications that yielded the most, concentrate on them, and uninstall the worst use.

The price was very comfortable but more comfortable were the methods of payments accepted with preferential discounts.

Some systems and partitions give random errors in the mornings and do not know if this influences the schedule.

The updates are not generated automatically and in fact, it was in the corresponding option for it, that said we got used to generating it manually.

The implementation of programs is exact, the initialization is very easy and anyone outside of it can do it.

It stays online 24/7 and that's good because our programs can collect a lot of details, metrics, forms, etc.

It is very essential in heat mapping on websites.

The operational cost is low compared to other companies.

it is very difficult to recover passwords and access the site, it is difficult to assign access to new workers because it has extra security capabilities that must be given permission.

Generating changes in contracts is expensive, it generates fines.

Data roaming that creates is online 24/7.

It is a very robust server support that creates an infrastructure capable of supporting any heavy-duty application, especially medical ones.

Has an assigned budget that benefits the volume costs in a very comfortable way to the work environment of the organization and human resources.

It has a very comfortable technical support to be able to consult questions that are developed in quick answers.

I could only say one bad thing about it and that is that at the beginning for new clients, it is very difficult to understand all the applications and functionalities because it has a very technical language focused on professional information technologies, I think the world is changing and not only those professionals are focused on using applications, we are all becoming technological and it is essential that they focus on a more global audience with a simpler and more universal language.
