We performed a comparison between IBM MQ and TIBCO Enterprise Message Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Activity Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to understand and even medium developers can easily start using it."
"It runs everywhere, from the mainframe in the US to the PCs in the Gobi desert attached to an analog modem."
"We have found the MQ messaging topologies valuable."
"The first things are its simplicity and its robustness. Compared to any other product, it's the most robust I've worked with. And it's extremely easy to manage."
"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 most valuable feature is the stability. It's perfect in this way."
"We use queue managers/concentrators for message flow going upstream and downstream on applications with enterprise licenses."
"Assists with our apps and has great message processing."
"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."
"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."
"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."
"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."
"We have had scalability issues with some projects in the past."
"I would like to see message duplication included."
"We are looking at the latest version, and we hope that resilience, high availability, and monitoring will be improved. It can have some more improvements in the heterogeneous messaging feature. The current solution is on-premises, so good integration with public cloud messaging solutions would be useful."
"IBM MQ could improve by adding more protocols or APIs for a standard application, such as MuleSoft."
"I can't say pricing is good."
"It would be great if the dashboard had additional features like a board design."
"Sometimes, not all messages are consumed in the queues. File transfers need improvement."
"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."
"TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
"An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
