Overall Satisfaction with IBM MQ
We are working for a banking sector company and we are using IBM MQ in various aspects of our project. We use MQ services in Financial Transaction processing, Real time fraud detection in credit cards, core banking service integrations and Some aspects of customer notifications as well. For example, for OTP validations in different apps and services, we use IBM MQ services. For ATM transactions, PoS transaction processing as well, we use IBM MQ.
- Reliable and Fast Message Delivery: This service helped us a lot in customer notifications front.
- High Availability - Because of high availability , we were able to use it for transaction processing very efficiently
- Asynchronous Communication
- Message Tracing and Debugging within the chain of message passing is very difficult. Tracking message paths is very difficult. There needs to be some way implemented which is more user friendly
- Containerization of MQ service and integration with Kubernetes is something if possible will be very helpful
- Documentation and Training material should be improved for easy integration
- Positive- Message Reliability and Reduced downtime, increases the ROI many times.
- Positive- Increased stability and enhanced customer experience
- Negative- cost is very high - Both licensing and integration cost
- Negative- Learning and training cost of IBM MQ is high as its complex to use and integrate
