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."The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."
"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."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"Good interface, simple to use and stable."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Deployment is a cakewalk."
"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."
"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"We use queue managers/concentrators for message flow going upstream and downstream on applications with enterprise licenses."
"It is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"I appreciate the level of control we have over queue managers, queues, and the messaging itself. That provides good security. So, the control and scalability of messaging are important to me."
"Assists with our apps and has great message processing."
"The reliability of the queuing is the most valuable feature."
"The clusterization which results in persistence is the most valuable feature."
"It runs everywhere, from the mainframe in the US to the PCs in the Gobi desert attached to an analog modem."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"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."
"Anypoint MQ's capabilities are mainly used for messaging purposes, but it doesn't have typical use cases that extend as far as other Message Queue software."
"Information on monitoring could be improved."
"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."
"The product does not provide a priority level for the message."
"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 customer service is not good enough"
"Presenting and maybe having some different options for different user experiences based on the administrative duties that you have to do as an app manager or configure the server or security would be an improvement."
"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."
"I can't say pricing is good."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"It could provide more monitoring tools and some improvement to the UI. I would also like to see more throughput in future versions."
"Customer support response times could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see faster monitoring tools for this solution."
