Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, TIBCO, Aurea and others in Business Activity Monitoring."It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams."
"It's what we use for monitoring our MQ system, so the features that they provide are just really, really good."
"We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types."
"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system"
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities."
"It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"There is no dependency on the end party service's run status."
"The solution allows one to easily configure an IBM MQQueueManager."
"This initial setup is not complex at all. Deploying it was very easy."
"The most valuable features are the point to point messaging and the MQ API."
"The solution is fast with end data compared to other messaging tools."
"It offers better reliability and monitoring compared to other tools."
"There are a lot of extensible options for security, i.e., various things you can do. It's pretty easy to navigate."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."
"The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems."
"Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."
"I wanted to upgrade Windows Server. It's not that easy to move."
"The main issue we are having with the solution is due to the connection dropouts which have been going on for a long time now."
"The initial setup is difficult. Creating your own cluster is difficult. Working with cluster repositories is difficult. Issue management with IBM MQ is difficult."
"While there is support for API, it's not like the modern API capabilities."
"Scalability is lacking compared to the cloud native products coming into the market."
"The solution should offer a freeware version, free vouchers, or certifications for learning purposes and building knowledge base."
"What could be improved is the high-availability. The way MQ works is that it separates the high-availability from the workload balance. The scalability should be easier. If something happens so that the messages are not available on each node, scalability is only possible for the workload balance."
"The licensing fees should be more cost-effective so that we can better pitch the product to our clients. With the pricing as it is, they tend to move away from IBM products."
