We're a service provider. My company provides services to different clients that include financial institutions in the banking sector.
IBM MQ is used for queue messaging. I have to install and configure, the MQ features of listener channels, remote queues, and some transmit queues. We enable these as per customer requirements.
The solution offers very good features, including listener channels, remote queues, and transmit queues.
The solution is stable.
The initial setup isn't overly complex. It's pretty straightforward.
Technical support is very good.
IBM MQ is not very user-friendly. MQ needs to redesign or add some sort of user-friendly interface in order to offer better performance.
This is a very old solution. Nowadays, some other products are designed to be much more user-friendly as compared to IBM MQ.
The product needs better administration.
I've been working with the solution for three years.
The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.
We've found the technical support to be very good. they tend to match the severity level of the situation. We're quite happy with the way they respond.
While the initial setup is not overly difficult, the user interface is not very user-friendly.
I cannot speak to the pricing of the product. I can't say if it's overly expensive or reasonably priced as I don't deal directly with licensing.
We are an IBM partner.
I'd rate the soluton at an eight out of ten. For the most part, I've been pretty happy with its capabilities.
