IBM MQ

Overall Satisfaction with IBM MQ

IBM MQ is used as an Enterprise Messaging platform in a Banking organization to ensure message integrity and flow consistency. It deals with challenges such as long-running transactions, message tracking, performance, and authentication/authorization issues. Working with IBM MQ for many years in heterogeneous environments, the platform has proven to be robust, with huge integration capabilities through the variety of APIs provided.

Pros

  • MQ client application authentication and authorization.
  • MQ message integrity.
  • MQ integration with other product suites such as: IBM Websphere Application Server, Delinea Secrets PAM server, etc.
  • MQ error logging mechanism.
  • MQ APIs for .NET, Java,... based application codes.

Cons

  • MQ message tracking in cases of no commit or roll-back.
  • MQ integration with cloud based apps optimization.
  • MQ message data handling for testing purposes (successor of RFHUtil).
  • Messaging flow & delivery stability.
  • Message integrity.
  • Secure authentication and authorization for accessing MQ resources (channels, queues).
IBM MQ provides an easy-to-use administration interface (MQ Explorer) and a comprehensive set of MQ commands to administer the Queue Manager, which hosts the MQ resources (queues, channels, etc.).
IBM MQ meets enterprise messaging business needs in terms of platform stability, functionality, support, and the list of APIs provided for client app integration, while Rabbit MQ is not an enterprise messaging platform but rather an open-source broker for point-to-point messaging.
