We chose TIBCO Messaging not just for its performance but because it looked like the natural way to pave our existing TIBCO Integration architecture. Setting up TIBCO EMS servers and objects seems more straightforward than with most of competitors. It is easy to configure and easy to use and understand.

We also use other messaging products: IBM MQ, especially for integration with other systems (server2server), which has been an industry standard for a long time, and Apache Kafka for cloud-native applications. EMS is a worse option compared to them, but it is still acceptable.

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service serves as a "barebone" service in our environment. Some applications use TIBCO Rendezvous, others EMS. This allowed us to evaluate the differences and I saw that EMS is more robust and open to different programming languages. In particular, the integration with Java was a plus point. However, TIBCO provides a compatible mode to allow Rendezvous and Messaging applications to continue to communicate with each other. another point in favor of EMS is definitely the support for .NET Core technologies, which Rendezvous does not support, and this poses a limitation both for new developments and for retaining key resources and finding young talents.

MQ was way more expensive and it is limited in many ways against TIBCO Enterprise Message Service. MQ does not allow easy topic to queue bridging and also requires much more configuration for basic types of activities. Does not support all of the same JMS headers that TIBCO Enterprise Message Service offers. Monitoring is not out of the box either and alot of development is required in this regard.

TIBCO is not the industry leader in general but for our unique case and also because we also deployed TIBCO MFT Platform Server, it was the go to choice. The recent improvements like container support also gave us confidence that this is a product for the future. Moving from an architecture that involved Microsoft Message Queuing along the chain, we decided to go a different route and chose EMS instead.

IBM MQ was the old product we used, and we migrated from it to TIBCO EMS. We use also RabbitMQ for our light-weight IPC scenarios and Kafka for our data stream use cases. They 3 compose our complete messaging and streaming solution.

At the time we made the selection and purchase, we found it to be a performant technology. Also, TIBCO was a young company at that time. In order to have us as ther first major client, they accepted to give us a huge discount on their products, including EMS (that's the main reason we chose them).

IBM MQ series is a messaging product . You will need to use IBM product suit heavily and it works better but personaly I have not used it. Apache MQ is also a messaging bus and I have come across it with SAP . EMS is light weigh as its written in C language and easy to implement.

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service was selected because of the contract with TIBCO. We generally see company buying other TIBCO products such as TIBCO BusinessWorks and then TIBCO offers some discount on their "minor" products.
If I would compare technical capabilities of EMS against another provider, I would select EMS because of its robustness and easy maintenance.

It is easy to configure, develop, upgrade and maintain using TIBCO Emterprise Message Service compared to other products on the market. Deployment or setup of new environments can be automated. Support from theTIBCO engineering team is very responsive and effective.

We selected TIBCO EMS because we selected TIBCO BW as an ESB. TIBCO EMS must be installed in the TIBCO BW stack. I prefer TIBCO EMS because it implements very powerful functionality like bridges and routing.

TIBCO Enterprise Message Service has been chosen by the customer because it had many contracts with TIBCO products and it has been full integrated with a TIBCO BusinessWorks platform. Moreover, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service has all required functionalities searched for the customer platform : efficient, easy to use, security, user management.
