What is IBM MQ?
| IBM MQ connects applications and microservices in private datacenters, across hybrid or multi-cloud environments, and at the edge of the enterprise. It allows businesses, from large enterprises to startups, to ensure every order, every payment, and every customer interaction counts. Messages between applications are delivered reliably once-and-only-once and applications are decoupled to enable rapid response to sudden traffic increases or system outages. Businesses can tap into the value of existing mission-critical data to gain real-time insights and ensure the safety of customer and business data with comprehensive security mechanisms. https://ibm.biz/IBM_MQ_product_page |

IBM MQ - Highly Available MQ service
We are working for a banking sector company and we are using IBM MQ in various aspects of our project. We use MQ services in Financial Transaction processing, Real time fraud detection in credit cards, core banking service integrations and Some aspects of customer notifications as well. For example, for OTP validations in different apps and services, we use IBM MQ services. For ATM transactions, PoS transaction processing as well, we use IBM MQ.
- 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
IBM MQ ensures business continuity and easy workflow across multiple Cloud platforms with the best data management capabilities and efficient connections that deliver quality data for analytics. Reliable with quick response to systems outages and high Clouds availability to mission-critical data and quickly gain insights to make informed business decisions.
- Best data management capabilities.

IBM MQ is the way to go!
IBM MQ is being used by my organization across a multitude of projects. We rely on the software to provide reliable communication and connectivity across projects. Each project maintains a high number of transactions and IBM MQ helps to sort through all of them. This software is a seamless messaging and transfer protocol.
- Easy to use interface
- High level of security and reliable
- Readily available support
- An updated notification system to send alerts would be a great added feature to have.
- A more time efficient security setup
- There is a bit of a learning curve when first getting situated with the processes.
