Overall Satisfaction with IBM MQ

IBM MQ is used to expose some of our software solutions to our customers. Depending on the software and customer requirements, we offer Active/Standby or RDQM infrastructure. Our challenge is to keep the MQ Infrastructure as standard as possible to allow perfect monitoring and operability.

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.
  • I am not working on this part of the business.
Once understood, MQ is easy..but the first approach is very hard.

Do you think IBM MQ delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with IBM MQ's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM MQ live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM MQ go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM MQ again?

Yes

We often receive requests from customers to exchange files in the queues. However, the 100Mb limitation is too low, and the MQ MFT is too complicated for a point-to-point transfer.
