We performed a comparison between Anypoint MQ and IBM MQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Queue (MQ) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."
"Combined with IBM MQ, this product is our primary data store."
"IBM MQ deals mainly with the queuing mechanism. It passes the data and it publishes it. These two abilities are the most valuable features."
"The methodology and the way in which the platform has been produced as a standard is most valuable. There are so many different versions of it now, but the actual basic functionality and the simplicity of it have made it far easier to be implemented in so many different instances. When I worked with the OS/2 or PS/2 machine environment, the messaging mechanisms were based upon IBM MQ. It is so versatile, which is the main reason that I'm a fan of it."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Overall the solution operates well and has good integration."
"The solution allows one to easily configure an IBM MQQueueManager."
"I like the architecture it provides seamlessly for assured delivery."
"The solution is very stable."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"I believe the stability of the product has decreased since we began using it initially."
"There are many complications with IBM MQ servers."
"We need to have a better administration console and better monitoring features. Right now, they are not good and could be a lot better."
"You should be able to increase the message size. It should be dynamic. Each queue has a limitation of 5,000."
"I would like to see faster monitoring tools for this solution."
"I can't say pricing is good."
"The user interface should be enhanced to include more monitoring features and other metrics. The metrics should include not only those from the IBM MQ point of view but also CPU and memory utilization."
"I wanted to upgrade Windows Server. It's not that easy to move."
