IBM MQ

Kafka is renowned for its impressive throughput, fault tolerance, and real-time data streaming capabilities. Nonetheless, IBM MQ remains the preferred choice due to its unwavering commitment to guaranteed delivery and exceptional reliability. Fault-Tolerant Architectures of IBM MQ which allows active-standby queue managers, to build fault-tolerant architectures that ensure continuity of service in the event of hardware or software failures.

Apache Kafka may be a better option in comparison with IBM MQ its real-time data streaming and large data payload service. It depends upon the specific requirement and meets those needs. MuleSoft any point platform is very easy to connect to various other types of platforms in order to link many other systems.

Not really applicable on my case as it's a company standard so it has already been chosen by our architecture team

Both are useful in their own right and we actually use IBM MQ together with PCWP. IBM MQ automates our tasks and saves a lot of tedious work we would otherwise have to do manually.

Very similar. Reliability has been excellent

The product are really similar, basically it depends on where is your infrastructure and your project goals, but talking about this specific product, if your architecture team makes a good design, IBM MQ should do the work and will provide your systems with the capabilities expected from a messaging queue component

Nothing like MQ . The backbone of the banking industry or any other area . however most of the rivals are light weight and integration is easy .

I've used Tibco Software. I've found IBM MQ more simplified than these with a good community allowing everyone to quickly learn and understand the various mechanisms.

Compared to other products this is one with a budget.

We found IBM MQ very easy to get started and quick to learn by the new users with a short learning curve and seamlessly integrates with IBM products, and quick to perform self-service analytics and make informed business decisions. IBM MQ is also very straightforward in creating simple and best reports, which are very profitable and productive.

The functionalities on IBM MQ are more responsive and functional unlike the above platforms and the training when you are new to IBM MQ is very effective and not much time wasted to become a Pro. The interface security setting and the adjustment of all the features capabilities were also easy which enables the production of profitable quality services and easy data handling.

I have not used similarly featured products in the company. The services that we have received from this platform have always been the best. The troubleshooting models ensure that data flow across the applications is not affected by any external effects, enhancing daily programs' continuity. The modern cloud-based services have improved the performance and attracted many potential clients. Storage of our workloads to the cloud-based servers has cut data management costs.

IBM MQ is a leading competitor in this type of software. We are very happy at my organization to be using IBM MQ. It has a great, easy to use interface that works more seamlessly compared to the competitors out there. IBM MQ also seems to offer the best level of security which certainly provides peace of mind when dealing with so many transactions on projects.

IBM MQ is very stable and a proven product compared to other Messaging platforms available. Performance was better than WSO2 product and also the RabbitMQ. Though Kafka and IBM MQ is not directly comparable, Kafka is more suited for event based systems and also where there is some liberty to use custom APIs and libraries more freely.

IBM MQ is the powerhouse but has a price, while ActiveMQ is free and get things done. If the project warrants it, the use of IBM MQ is highly recommended. But if the project does not need the power, it is better to avoid the cost.

I tested/used TIBCO EMS which is built for a proprietary platform. It is focused on providing a messaging platform with TIBCO, therefore in that particular case IBM MQ was ´*not* used, because of the deep integration between TIBCO products.
Also tried/evaluated ActiveMQ but it provides weak support for channel encryption, so IBM MQ was the right choice to go for.

IBM MQ is the product for inter-business communication for security, flexibility and scalability.

[We selected] IBM MQ [because it] will help in processing all the transactions. Fail over transactions can be processed. [It allows us to] track of all the transactions. IBM MQ is the best for all the batch transactions.

We recently changed or migrated to IBM MQ from SONIC MQ and we have zero or negligible message loss. Clusters architecture in IBM MQ is way faster and simpler to understand.
