Pros
"It's what we use for monitoring our MQ system, so the features that they provide are just really, really good.""It allows non-technical users to inspect their individual components within the total infrastructure without disturbing other components and without bothering the technical teams.""It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems.""The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities.""Monitoring that ties into our incident management system""We have easily created use case testing harnesses for specific flows that incorporate various message types."

"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications.""It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement.​""It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable.""​The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good.​""The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network.""TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins.""The setup was done by TIBCO.

Cons
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants.""The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic. The competing products have similar problems.""Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools.""One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful.""The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved.""We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."

"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing.""TIBCO also has its proprietary line of cloud-based applications, but specifically, these two products are not cloud compatible.""An area for improvement would be integration with the API layer.""I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka.""​Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Because the licensing is at the QMGR level, you need to have at least a small cushion of licenses for occasional enterprise needs."
  • "Our internal budget calculation model incorporates the pricing per endpoint for any new projects. However, as our footprint for distributed queue managers shrinks as part of our shared middleware hub deployment, the initial licensing and support costs have been reduced over the last five years."
  • "Avada Software's licensing metric is very good because the license fees are based on the number of connections (which have not increased for us very much over the years) rather than the CPU processing power (which increases significantly whenever our hardware is upgraded) or the number of users (which has increased for us a lot since our original purchase)."
  • "Start small, then increase licensing later as per your demand."

  • "​The cost of licensing is very high. One should go for the product only if they need to ensure message reliability and they cannot afford to lose messages.​"
  • "In our case, we didn't pay for each product separately. We simply paid for all those companies that provided the components."

    Overview

    Avada Software specializes in Enterprise Middleware solutions. Founded by some pioneers in SOA, MQ and J2EE technology, Avada’s Flagship product, Infrared360, is a holistic & innovative private cloud enabled portal providing self-service administration, monitoring, load testing, auditing & statistical reporting for Enterprise Middleware including IBM’s middleware stack of MQ, IIB (message broker), WAS, and Datapower, as well as other applications servers such as  JBoss, TC Server, Weblogic, and other messaging technologies such as Tibco EMS and Kafka*.

    Accessed via any web browser on any device, Infrared360 is a single web application, yet scales to 2500+ endpoints without deploying anything (no agents, no scripts) to those endpoints.

    Using trusted ‘spaces’ and delegated visibility and control, the portal uniquely provides different business units or even different application users virtual ‘spaces’ in which to work.  Within those spaces are only the objects and resources the user has been granted visibility.  Role policy dictates permissions on those resources.

    It is the ONLY Enterprise Messaging Solution with a built in SOA engine that lets you leverage internal and external services for managing and correcting problems within your middleware messaging environment.
