We performed a comparison between IBM MQ and VMware Tanzu Data Services 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.
"It offers better reliability and monitoring compared to other tools."
"I haven't seen any issues with respect to the message loss."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a very strong integration platform but it is quite a monolithic solution. It's got everything."
"I like the MQ's simplicity and rock-solid stability. I've never experienced a failure in two decades caused by the product itself. It has only failed due to human error."
"We have found the MQ messaging topologies valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the stability. It's perfect in this way."
"IBM MQ deals mainly with the queuing mechanism. It passes the data and it publishes it. These two abilities are the most valuable features."
"Reliability is the most valuable feature. MQ is used to support critical business applications."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"At a recent conference, I went to a presentation that had the latest version and it has amazing stuff that's coming out. So, I am excited to use those, specifically surrounding the web console and the fact that it's API integrated."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"I would just like a more user-friendly experience to do common administration tasks. I know that you can use MQ Explorer, but having something that's already built in would definitely be useful."
"The solution should offer a freeware version, free vouchers, or certifications for learning purposes and building knowledge base."
"It would be nice if we could use the cluster facilities because we are doing active/passive configuration use."
"IBM MQ could improve by adding more protocols or APIs for a standard application, such as MuleSoft."
"It's not always easy for applications to connect to IBM MQ, but I think it's fine in general."
"We are looking at the latest version, and we hope that resilience, high availability, and monitoring will be improved. It can have some more improvements in the heterogeneous messaging feature. The current solution is on-premises, so good integration with public cloud messaging solutions would be useful."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"The availability could be better."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
