We performed a comparison between IBM MQ and VMware Tanzu Data Services 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."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."
"Whenever payments are happening, such as incoming payments to the bank, we need to notify the customer. With MQ we can actually do that asynchronously. We don't want to notify the customer for each and every payment but, rather, more like once a day. That kind of thing can be enabled with the help of MQ."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product helps us monitor messages with other queues, view duplicated messages and control undelivered messages."
"It is useful for exchanging information between applications."
"The most valuable features are the point to point messaging and the MQ API."
"The solution can scale well."
"IBM MQ's flexibility has sped up our active communication."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"It's not always easy for applications to connect to IBM MQ, but I think it's fine in general."
"What could be improved is the high-availability. The way MQ works is that it separates the high-availability from the workload balance. The scalability should be easier. If something happens so that the messages are not available on each node, scalability is only possible for the workload balance."
"I believe the stability of the product has decreased since we began using it initially."
"I would just like a more user-friendly experience to do common administration tasks. I know that you can use MQ Explorer, but having something that's already built in would definitely be useful."
"If they could come up with monitoring dashboards that would be good. We are using external monitoring tools, apart from our IBM MQ, to monitor IBM MQ. If we could get monitoring tools or dashboards to keep everything simple for the user to understand, that would be good."
"We have had scalability issues with some projects in the past."
"It would be great if the dashboard had additional features like a board design."
"The clustering capabilities have provided some difficulties when it comes to resiliency. This has been a challenge for managing the environment."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
