We performed a comparison between IBM Event Streams and IBM MQ 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."The system efficiently processes and calculates the data flow within the cluster using DLP functionality."
"I'm an administrator, and what I like most is the interface, the security, and the storage."
"The stability has been good."
"Technical support is quite helpful."
"IBM MQ is the right choice because of the stability and the performance. And from the support perspective, it's enough to have a really small team."
"We like IBM MQ for our synchronous communications and transactional applications that require a lot of CPS."
"It improves reliability and guarantees that messages are not lost."
"The most valuable feature is the Queue Manager, which lies in the middle between our application and our core banking server."
"The most valuable feature is the interaction within the system."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The reliability of the queuing is the most valuable feature."
"It would be helpful if they could help us explain why they, as in, the customers, should use the product and the overall benefits."
"The product's interface needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see the GUI allow you to configure the security section."
"IBM MQ could streamline its complexity to be more like Kafka without the channel complexities of clusters, making it more straightforward."
"I can't say pricing is good."
"They need to add the ability to send full messages (header + payload) from the MQ Explorer program, not just the payload."
"The installation of product upgrades and patches is very difficult. It requires the use of the IBM Installation Manager (IM)."
"We have had scalability issues with some projects in the past."
"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."
"It could get a face lift with a modern marketing campaign."
"If they could have some front-end monitoring tool that could be easily available for the team to use, that could be great."
