We performed a comparison between Amazon EventBridge and IBM MQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"Clustering is one of its most valuable features."
"Reliability is the most valuable feature. MQ is used to support critical business applications."
"The solution is easy to understand and even medium developers can easily start using it."
"The solution is very easy to work with."
"The solution allows one to easily configure an IBM MQQueueManager."
"The solution can scale well."
"Whenever payments are happening, such as incoming payments to the bank, we need to notify the customer. With MQ we can actually do that asynchronously. We don't want to notify the customer for each and every payment but, rather, more like once a day. That kind of thing can be enabled with the help of MQ."
"The thing that I like about MQ most is its reliability. It's one of those types of products that just works. You don't have to tinker around with it too much."
"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"Currently, it only supports triggering one job at a time. It would be helpful if it could handle multiple jobs or triggers simultaneously. What I mean is that currently, we can only perform one job at a time."
"Amazon EventBridge doesn't have the feature of event replay."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"The monitoring could be improved. It's a pain to monitor the throughput through the MQ. The maximum throughput for a queue or single channel isn't clear. We could also use some professional services by IBM to assess and tune the performance."
"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."
"It could get a face lift with a modern marketing campaign."
"They need to add the ability to send full messages (header + payload) from the MQ Explorer program, not just the payload."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"We have had scalability issues with some projects in the past."
"It would be an advantage if they can include streaming in IBM MQ, similar to Kafka. Kafka is used mainly for streaming purposes. This feature is clearly lacking in IBM MQ. If they add this feature to IBM MQ, it will have an edge over other products."
"You should be able to increase the message size. It should be dynamic. Each queue has a limitation of 5,000."
