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.

Pros
  • Resilient
  • Secure
  • Stable
Cons
  • PKI keystore refresh should not interrupt active channels.
  • AMS rules shall not be stored only on the MQ server (an admin can remove the rules to access the messages—this is exactly what we want to avoid with AMS !).
  • Channel name length must be improved to more than 20 characters.

Essential data tool.

Pros
  • Ensures messages are delivered in the correct order, preventing data loss.
  • It provides excellent encryption and authentication to protect data during transfer.
  • Facilities smooth communication between diverse systems and applications.
Cons
  • I reckon the initial setup and configuration are complex and time-consuming.
  • The licensing cost is high, but the rest works fine.
  • The user interface could take a moment to grasp, although it is not a big challenge.
