Enables triggering of automatic processes with customizable timing
Amazon EventBridge allows for customization at my level, providing many options for determining which services are dependent, what account to use, and when the Lambda will trigger. It is crucial if I need to trigger a Lambda with scheduling a cron job or setting a timing. With EventBridge, I can run automatic Lambda at a particular time in a day or an hour.

Role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems
* We now have the possibility of getting a central perspective on all tenants. * We have defined access roles for developers. Therefore, they can 'read in' their queues on the development and testing stages. With special roles, they may also write. This improves our development and testing cycle. * For operative systems, we have restricted the access. Still, selected people can react if something is happening in the various BOQs.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has self-explanatory documentation and works with most projects."
"It's very simple to set up our cron with Amazon EventBridge."
"Amazon EventBridge allows for customization at my level, providing many options for determining which services are dependent, what account to use, and when the Lambda will trigger."
"The best feature is that it allows you to perform recurring tasks efficiently."
"Amazon EventBridge is very flexible."
"IR360 does not require a large team to manage our entire middleware estate and allows the leveraging of a logical model of reuse."
"Monitoring that ties into our incident management system"
"It's what we use for monitoring our MQ system, so the features that they provide are just really, really good."
"I highly recommend Infrared360 for an all-in-one IBM MQ tool."
"Administration, Monitoring, and Delegation are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It has role-based access to queues, giving us more insights into problems."
"The ability for development teams to have access to their MQ queues has freed us up as administrators to do things other than chase down an application’s message for research purposes."
"The administration piece makes it very easy to do MQ administration. It gives us a lot more flexibility and capabilities."
 

Cons

"It would be easy if we had an option to select multiple things to run the script from Monday to Friday."
"Amazon EventBridge doesn't have the feature of event replay."
"It would be good if the solution provided a feature to add multiple Cron expressions in one rule."
"Currently, it only supports triggering one job at a time. It would be helpful if it could handle multiple jobs or triggers simultaneously. What I mean is that currently, we can only perform one job at a time."
"The user interface could be sexier and more ergonomic."
"We desire a dashboard that could accumulate BOQ lengths per tenant on one screen for all tenants."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"Some of the graphics in the interface could be improved. It's pretty basic. Some interfaces are not up to what you're used to seeing on other, more Windows-like tools."
"One area where they could improve is with their documentation. Some sections are not up to date with new release information and providing additional samples in some areas would be very helpful."
"The UI can be cumbersome - but we are still using the Viper interface and we have not had the time to check out the Alloy interface which is supposed to be much improved."
"We are still working with the FTE/MFT subscription monitoring and reporting functionality. That is an area in which we would like to see further development taking place."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon EventBridge's pricing is pretty cheap."
"Start small, then increase licensing later as per your demand."
"Our internal budget calculation model incorporates the pricing per endpoint for any new projects. However, as our footprint for distributed queue managers shrinks as part of our shared middleware hub deployment, the initial licensing and support costs have been reduced over the last five years."
"Because the licensing is at the QMGR level, you need to have at least a small cushion of licenses for occasional enterprise needs."
"Avada Software's licensing metric is very good because the license fees are based on the number of connections (which have not increased for us very much over the years) rather than the CPU processing power (which increases significantly whenever our hardware is upgraded) or the number of users (which has increased for us a lot since our original purchase)."
