Find out what your peers are saying about IBM, TIBCO, Aurea and others in Business Activity Monitoring."We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types."
"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system"
"It's what we use for monitoring our MQ system, so the features that they provide are just really, really good."
"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 has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities."
"The solution is very stable."
"It is useful for exchanging information between applications."
"The scalability of IBM MQ is good."
"This initial setup is not complex at all. Deploying it was very easy."
"I like the architecture it provides seamlessly for assured delivery."
"I have found the solution to be very robust. It has a strong reputation, easy to use, simple to configure in our enterprise software, and supports all the protocols that we use."
"We have implemented business to business transactions over MQ messaging. The guaranteed and once only delivery ensures business integrity."
"A stable and reliable software that offers good integration between different systems."
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"The installation of product upgrades and patches is very difficult. It requires the use of the IBM Installation Manager (IM)."
"It could provide more monitoring tools and some improvement to the UI. I would also like to see more throughput in future versions."
"They could integrate monitoring into the solution, a bit more than they do now. Currently, they have opened the REST API so you can get statistic and accounting information and details from MQ and build your own monitoring, if you want. IBM can improve the solution in this direction."
"IBM MQ could improve by adding more protocols or APIs for a standard application, such as MuleSoft."
"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."
"I would like to see message duplication included."
"I can't say pricing is good."
"I would like less updates from IBM MQ."
