Pricing and Cost Advice | |
To implement such an IBM solution, a company has to pay a lot in term of licensing and consultancy. A pricing model might be a better option. In terms of cost, IBM MQ is slightly on the higher side. IBM MQ appliance has pricing options, but they are costly. 99.999 percent availability for less than a penny per message over the past 25 years. IBM MQ is the cheapest software in the IBM software portfolio, and it is one of the best. Pricing could be better, as with all IBM products. But their performance in production, along with security and scalability, will pay returns in the long run. I think the pricing is reasonable, especially with IIB as a part of it. | Information Not Available |
