We performed a comparison between IBM MQ and TIBCO Enterprise Message Service based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."We have found the MQ messaging topologies valuable."
"Overall the solution operates well and has good integration."
"What is quite useful is the asynchronous function which means we don't lose everything in the bank. Although we use a lot of things synchronously, asynch is the best thing so that no banking information is ever lost, even when the network goes down and comes up."
"Support for JMS 2.0, because we develop solutions compatible with Java EE7."
"It is very robust and very scalable."
"We like IBM MQ for our synchronous communications and transactional applications that require a lot of CPS."
"It is stable, reliable, and scalable."
"Clustering is one of its most valuable features."
"TIBCO Enterprise Message Service's most valuable features are rapid zero-code integration and its large number of adapters and plugins."
"The initial setup is straightforward and the product documentation is very good."
"We have implanted the core middleware solution for the organization using this product and it is responsible for communication between different applications."
"It is very useful tool. It is also very easy to learn and implement."
"The Enterprise Messaging Server will store the message and wait for other subscribers to come onto the network."
"The setup was done by TIBCO. It has been stable and has a server."
"It allows us to achieve synchronous as well as asynchronous communication with the added advantage of making the communication reliable."
"I like TIBCO's ability to create versioned queues and persistent messages."
"It is expensive. The cost is high. There should be more improvement in the new age of technologies."
"It needs a User Interface which is better than the aging MQ Explorer. The existing solution MQ Explorer is outdated."
"The integration capabilities could be even easier."
"The monitoring could be improved. It's a pain to monitor the throughput through the MQ. The maximum throughput for a queue or single channel isn't clear. We could also use some professional services by IBM to assess and tune the performance."
"It could get a face lift with a modern marketing campaign."
"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."
"While there is support for API, it's not like the modern API capabilities."
"It could always be more stable and secure."
"Overall, my experience with the support team has been disappointing."
"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."
"Since all the communications goes through this product, it acts as a single point of failure."
"I would like to see better integration with Java and Apache Kafka."
