Overall Satisfaction with IBM MQ
IBM MQ is within the core processes of the bank information flow. It is used by all the banking group as it is the platform that assures the understandable connectivity between the main frame, EAI solutions, or even providing direct access to API and web based applications. It ensures trustworthy and secure information flow, resilient to failures.
- Security is a major improvement in IBM MQ 9. Authorization management became more granular and effective.
- Programmer friendly. Not only does MQ work great, it provides with MQ specific and JMS-standards access to important functions for the developers to perform better.
- I still haven't managed to find a clear way to workout MQ clustering. I guess the information available is weak and the product has limitations.
- I dont chew numbers, but I guess that a solid investment faithfully following around 15 years of the product timeline is proof of the confidence it gave/gives and the effect it has performed on the proposed strategies.
- TIBCO EMS
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.
