Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Performance-wise, this solution is really good.""The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective.""We only use the basic features, but the most valuable one for us is the Publish-subscribe pattern.""Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ.""It is a scalable solution...The setup is easy.""The solution has good integration.""Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage.""The transactions and message queuing are the most valuable features of the solution."

Cons
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved.""I know that Message Broker was a very tightly copied product with another IBM product, that is, IBM MQ. I would like to have a little bit more decoupling from the IBM MQ because it should not be a prerequisite for IBM WebSphere Message Broker usage.""Technical support is good but they could have a better response time.""The user interface is designed mainly for experts, much in the way a BPM or another integration tool is.""The installation configuration is quite difficult.""There is some lag in the GUI. There have been some performance issues and maybe it's because of the application data.""Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM.""The images and size of the containers are too big and I think that they should be more lightweight."
