MQ experience review
What do you like best about the product?
It is a robust product dominating in the area of Enterprise Messaging providing a variety if APIs for client application integration along with ehnanced mechanisms in message security and integrity, as well as, strong authentication and autohrization capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
The overall experience by using IBM MQ is positive. I would prefer more enhancements on message tracking in order to facilitate investigation on cases where messages are lost, jeopardizing transactions integrity especally when client applications are not capable of capturing or logging message delivery or consumption.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most severe issues i have faced while using IBM MQ, are related to long running transactions which consume IBM MQ (QM's) transaction log space and lead to transaction hang if not roll back.
The way IBM MQ treats application with long running transactions, leads application vendors (i.e. GPP, ..) to optimize their code resulting to better appliation performance.
Furthermore, IBM MQ (QM) logging mechanism contributes on problem investigation and root cause analysis, applying on several OSI layers such as OS, networking, application, etc.

Scalable and has a reconciliation mechanism but lacks extensive documentation
What is our primary use case?
I worked as an employee for a bank where we recommended IBM MQ, and we used it.
It's for real-time messaging, an exchange between applications.
On the IBM side, we use Message Queue, all the Message Queue products from IBM. For six years, we used it for a bank, an international bank, and we integrated all the applications synchronously using Message Queue.
What is most valuable?
IBM MQ is highly scalable and has a reconciliation mechanism. These are the two main reasons we use IBM MQ.
What needs improvement?
IBM MQ should have more extensive documentation because I couldn't find a lot of information on the system API side to help us monitor the message queuing.
I would like to see more documentation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for six years. We used it for a bank, an international bank, and we integrated all the applications synchronously using Message Queue.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It has been a stable solution.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support have always been great.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I know there are competitors like RabbitMQ and Dell Boomi. I believe RabbitMQ is built on open source and they have a licensed version as well. I don't know much about RabbitMQ or Dell Boomi at this point.
IBM MQ is highly stable and quite customizable to integrate with our systems.
How was the initial setup?
We definitely installed using a service provider, and it's not that complex. It's easy. It took three to six months to start implementing the first use case.
Around six to ten people were involved in the deployment. It is easy to maintain and stable.
What was our ROI?
The ROI is good, but we only used it for a few use cases like banking customers. It's quite stable, so we got the value out of the installation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would rate it an eight out of ten. It's expensive, not cheap.
What other advice do I have?
I would like to rate it as a seven out of ten. It is quite stable, but it needs to have more documentation, and that is why I rate it as a seven out of ten.
At this moment, we don't see a use case for implementing AI, but it is definitely in our roadmap. We will definitely try to find a use case to implement any new features that get announced.
Great experience
What do you like best about the product?
Robust tool, very stable, brings a lot of security in the use of critical and high availability services.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the issues that impacts the use of MQ is the high cost of the License.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use MQ to communicate with financial market institutions and regulatory bodies. The tool provides us with the benefit and security in communication, making the services more efficient and secure.
Offers guaranteed delivery of messages to users
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution in my company since our clients always go for a middleware solution. IBM MQ is a part of the middleware solution category. When I design a middleware solution for our clients, I use IBM MQ to basically store the message.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it offers guaranteed delivery of messages to users. One good thing about the product is the guaranteed delivery since it guarantees that the message won't get lost. My company uses IBM MQ since we handle a lot of asynchronous modes of the design flow, and that is why we choose to use the solution to host the message before we proceed with the other sub-processes. The tool is effective in areas like message delivery and managing large message volumes. It is a very good solution.
What needs improvement?
In IBM MQ, the channel connection is an area where my company faces some limitations. At times, we hit limitations on the connection, meaning the connection is fully occupied.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using IBM MQ for more than ten years. My company is a reseller of IBM tools.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The product's initial setup phase is very easy.
The solution can be deployed in an hour.
What was our ROI?
The tool saves on development, implementation, and operation costs. The product is quite easy to maintain.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the tool's price a seven. The product is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
Maintenance is quite easy when there is an upgrade of any version. You just need to migrate the configuration to the other platform, and it is quite easy.
I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
IBM MQ is a nice toolset for asynchronous processing
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using this as a developer to connect to queues and then put or get messages and so far the experience has been good only
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's not compatible with certain runtimes other than ibm product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it mainly for asynchronous processing and for publishing data to topics.
