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."
"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"It also has a backup queue concept and topics, features that I have not seen anywhere else. I like these features very much."
"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."
"I think the whole product is useful. Their database and all is very good, and the product is fine. The fact that it ensures message delivery is probably the most important thing. I also like that you're able to trace and track everything. If it doesn't arrive at the destination, it will go back to the queue, and no message will be lost."
"The clusterization which results in persistence is the most valuable feature."
"The solution allows one to easily configure an IBM MQQueueManager."
"It's highly scalable. It provides various ways to establish high availability and workloads. E.g., you can spread workloads inside of your clusters."
"I haven't seen any severe issues related to it. Most of the time it's running. That is the advantage of IBM MQ."
"The solution is very stable."
"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"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."
"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."
"The integration capabilities could be even easier."
"IBM MQ's pricing is higher than its competitors'."
"It could get a face lift with a modern marketing campaign."
"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."
"SonicMQ CAA (continuous availability architecture) functionality on auto failover and data persistence should be made available without a shared drive, as it exists in multi-instance queue managers."
"While there is support for API, it's not like the modern API capabilities."
"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."
"IBM HQ's scalability isn't the best."
