Find out in this report how the two Business Activity Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."IBM is still adding some features and coding some other systems on the security end. However, it has the most security features I've seen in a communication solution. Security is the most important thing for our purposes."
"There is no dependency on the end party service's run status."
"The most valuable features are RDQM and queue sharing."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"Overall the solution operates well and has good integration."
"The most valuable feature is the interaction within the system."
"I have found that the solution scales well."
"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. It has been stable and has a server."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."
"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."
"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."
"With IBM products, there's less marketing. If they do more demos and more seminars on their products, it will be very useful. On a given day. I get seminar invites for many vendors and products, but for IBM, I may get an invite once or twice a year."
"IBM MQ's pricing is higher than its competitors'."
"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."
"The product does not allow users to access data from API or external networks since it can only be used in a closed network, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Should have more integration in the monitoring tools."
"IBM HQ's scalability isn't the best."
"the level of training as well as product marketing for this product are not that great. You rarely find a good training institute that provides training. Many of the architects in several organization are neither aware of the product nor interested in using it. IBM should provide good training on products like this."
"I can't say pricing is good."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
"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."
