We performed a comparison between IBM MQ and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Apache, IBM, VMware and others in Message Queue (MQ) Software."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."
"The system integration is good."
"Data integrity, reliability and security are valuable features that IBM MQ possesses."
"Currently, we are not using many advanced features. We are only using point-to-point MQ. I have previously used features like context-based authentication, SSL authentication, and high availability. These are good and pretty cool features. They make your business reliable. For critical business needs, everyone uses only IBM MQ. It is the first choice because of its reliability. There is a one-send-and-one-delivery feature. It also has a no-message-loss feature, and because of that, only IBM MQ is used in banking or financial sectors."
"The solution can scale well."
"Support for JMS 2.0, because we develop solutions compatible with Java EE7."
"I appreciate the level of control we have over queue managers, queues, and the messaging itself. That provides good security. So, the control and scalability of messaging are important to me."
"This initial setup is not complex at all. Deploying it was very easy."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"The scalability is the one area where IBM has fallen behind. As much as it is used, there is a limit to the number of people who are skilled in MQ. That is definitely an issue. Places have kept their MQ-skilled people and other places have really struggled to get MQ skills. It's not a widely-known skillset."
"They probably need to virtualize the MQ flow and allow us to design the MQ flow using the UI. It would also help to migrate to the cloud easily and implement AWS Lambda functions with minimum coding. If you have to code, then just with NodeJS or Java."
"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."
"There are many complications with IBM MQ servers."
"Customer support response times could be improved."
"IBM could revamp the interface. The API is huge, but some developers find it limiting because of the cost. They tend to wrap the API course into the JMS, which means they're missing out on some good features. They should work a little bit on the API exposure."
"IBM HQ's scalability isn't the best."
"MQ needs instruments for connection with new modern queues like Kafka or RabbitMQ."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
