IBM Event Streams Reviews

I'm an administrator, and what I like most is the interface, the security, and the storage. 

You don't lose any messages, if they have been configured as personal, you won't lose anything.

It can be reduced, but when you are comparing them with ActiveMQ, the console beats ActiveMQ by far, and it's easy to use.

In the next release, I would like to see the GUI allow you to configure the security section.

If the security section could be completed through the GUI, it would make people's lives easy. People are not used to seeing a command, they just want to see a GUI.

I have been working with IBM Event Streams for approximately three years.

IBM Event Streams is stable.

The scalability depends on how you configure it. If you configure HA, then it will be scalable.

With it being stable, the on-premises version doesn't need to be scaled that much, because if you're running Active-Passive Architecture, the one node server is easy to configure it to reroute the traffic to the other node. Within five minutes you can have it running.

The whole company is using this solution. It's a middleware and all applications that use messages use IBM Event Streams.

I'm satisfied with their support. Because of our relationship with IBM, any production issues we have, we get first preference.

I don't know if it's because of experience, but for me, it was easy to install. It's just a matter of having an RPM, then click next, next, and next again.

The difficult part comes in when you have to configure the security. That is the most difficult part, but it's not that difficult.

It takes less than two hours to install. Two hours max, because I did one yesterday.

I installed it on AWS and it was easy to install the software. It was less than an hour for the bare minimum installation. Setting up the security, took close to two hours.

The pricing needs to be improved.

I am happy with the product, other than pricing I don't have any other improvements that I can suggest.

I would recommend it. It's a stable application, and over the years their developers have worked on it, you're not going to have any downfall.

I would rate IBM Event Streams a nine out of ten.

We use IBM Event Streams to facilitate event-driven architecture for MDQ services within the banking environment.

The product's interface needs improvement. Additionally, there could be a management console to create and manage clusters.

We have been using IBM Event Streams for a year.

I rate the platform's stability an eight out of ten.

The platform is suitable for medium and enterprise-level companies. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.

The deployment is manageable and easy for me. However, it may be complex for new users. It requires some skills to deploy the tools. 

The platform is averagely priced. I rate the pricing a six out of ten.

We seamlessly integrated IBM Event Streams with real data processes by establishing data consumers. The consumers act as end-users, initiating requests and receiving responses from the data provider. The system efficiently processes and calculates the data flow within the cluster using DLP functionality.

It provides an easy integration, particularly in creating a platform and facilitating interactions between subscribers and service providers.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

A lot of financial technology uses the Event Stream in MQ in order to send and receive messages.

The triggering and the events that they have triggered as well as the route of the message according to the events are very useful. The triggering scenarios and routing scenarios are all good.

It's a very useful solution for financial institutions.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

The stability has been good.

I've found the product to be scalable. 

Technical support is responsive. 

I don't recall coming across any missing features.

It would be helpful if they could help us explain why they, as in, the customers, should use the product and the overall benefits. It would be helpful.

I've been using the solution for about five years. 

The stability is very good. it's not something they need to improve right now. The product doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

The product can scale if a company needs to.

I have a long relationship with IBM. I know how can I open the tickets and use them in the ABR solutions. They have been good. I have no complaints. 

We have many flavors to deploy. In the usual deployment, you can deploy the solution, or you can deploy it on the OpenShift cloud platform and Red Hat. You can deploy it on-prem as well. You can use the software and service from IBM, IBM cloud decks. There are a lot of ways to implement it.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly complex. 

In general, our clients do not have a problem with the overall cost of the solution. It is different according to the size of the project. There is no one standard price. 

I'm working as a partner with IBM.

We are using the latest version, and all of our customers use this technology in their new projects.

I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.
