We performed a comparison between Anypoint MQ and IBM MQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Message Queue (MQ) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"It improves reliability and guarantees that messages are not lost."
"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."
"This solution has improved and influenced the communication between different applications, then standardized that communication."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"It offers better reliability and monitoring compared to other tools."
"Encryption and the fact that we have not had any data loss issues so far have been very valuable features. IBM MQ is well encrypted so that we are well within our compliance and regulatory requirements, so that is a plus point as well."
"The most valuable feature is the interaction within the system."
"There is no dependency on the end party service's run status."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"The customer service is not good enough"
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"It's extremely expensive to change things in Anypoint MQ. There's also this issue of slow output of messages, and that needs to be improved."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"IBM MQ could streamline its complexity to be more like Kafka without the channel complexities of clusters, making it more straightforward."
"You should be able to increase the message size. It should be dynamic. Each queue has a limitation of 5,000."
"I don’t like legacy view of MQ."
"I would like to see it integrate with the newer ways of messaging, such as Kafka. They might say that you have IBM Integration Bus to do that stuff, but it would be great if MQ could, out-of-the-box, listen to public Kafka."
"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."
"At a recent conference, I went to a presentation that had the latest version and it has amazing stuff that's coming out. So, I am excited to use those, specifically surrounding the web console and the fact that it's API integrated."
"We need to have a better administration console and better monitoring features. Right now, they are not good and could be a lot better."
"The installation of product upgrades and patches is very difficult. It requires the use of the IBM Installation Manager (IM)."
