"Offers good performance as well as scalability and stability."
"The message queue and the integration with any development platform/language, i.e., NET and Java, are the most valuable features."

"IBM HQ's stability is great - we send six million messages a day, and we're very satisfied with HQ's ability to handle that volume."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."
"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."

"The worst part is the monitoring or admin, especially in the ACE or Broker. There is always a problem of transparency. In MQ you can observe any process and you know exactly what's going on behind the scenes, but with the ACE or Broker, it's a problem monitoring the HTTP inputs. It's like a black box."
"IBM MQ is not very user-friendly."
"While there is support for API, it's not like the modern API capabilities."
"I don’t like legacy view of MQ."
"The clustering capabilities have provided some difficulties when it comes to resiliency. This has been a challenge for managing the environment."
"MQ needs instruments for connection with new modern queues like Kafka or RabbitMQ."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."
