Product Details

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
An important solution to get the right communication between all users in the organisation, with better communication we have achieved more internal progress and of course have more relationship with colleagues.We have fluid communication between applications where fortunately we can make distributed transactions.IBM MQ has had a simple implementation process, reliable and with the security we all need for communication, it ensures the delivery of files without being filtered without permission.The speed with which messages and documents are sent and delivered is unique.
Pros and Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
It has worked for our organisation from the first moment, we had a somewhat broken or distant internal communication as we did not have a tool for these things, when IBM MQ arrived everything started to flow correctly, we are always in contact and we could send all the necessary information at any time of the day. I also like the fact that it can be compatible with other platforms and brockers.
Return on Investment
  • Availability and deployment is feasible for small teams, does not generate high administrative costs.
  • IBM MQ increases productivity for the secure delivery of information between all enterprise applications, whether installed on our infrastructure or in the cloud.
  • It is a cost-effective software considering the results achieved with its integration, deployment and overall feasibility.
Support Rating
10
Our requests and requirements are always attended by an expert on the subject in an estimated time of 30 minutes, in the event that the problem cannot be solved in a short time its technical support team follows up and is attentive to the resolution of our request. IBM MQ provides high-tech technological support that has allowed us to work without interruptions of more than a few minutes.
Reliability and Availability
10
The messages are delivered instantly with this software and it integrates with our technology stack, in terms of availability we only had one failure when we were doing some testing and integration with third parties, the features of this software make it always available and its deployment is easy for the company, it does not generate expenses due to failures.

Future Planned Uses
  • We plan to increase the scale of use of this tool in more departments, we know how is its integration and we will update our systems with improvements and of course IBM MQ must be part of this process.
