Re: Comparing IBM MQSeries to other products
I just couldn't let this one pass:-) :soapbox on My experience with those comparisons when I was in a marketing situation is that they were anything but "good." Those products are pure JMS brokers (w/o any of the depth of the MQI) and are nowhere near the "industrial strength" that belongs to WebSphere MQ. They furnish the "least common denominator" if you will in the messaging world. The benchmarks they ran used MQ "out-of-the-box" configurations with no tuning for that environment whatsoever. If that sounds like a little blue bias, you're right:-) :soapbox off Cheers...

Comparing IBM MQSeries to other products
Hello, We use MQSeries for our application. This application gets sold to our customers. Sometimes the customers question our choice of technology. I have been asked to provide some answers in regards to our choice for using MQSeries. (Currently we use MQSeries V5.2.1 for WinNT/2k with our application - and our application then connects via MQSeries to other partner systems who could be on whatever platforms they feel like using.) " Would like explanations of the varying environments (UNIX, Windows, etc.) in which it works, how it compares to other options and its overall business, marketing position. " is the request I have been given. So, if anybody has any good links... I think in addition to other things - the maturity of the product is also important - but have been unable to find the date which IBM released the first version of MQ. I think if a software company just released a messaging product last year and IBM has had it around for 10 years - that is a big deal - no? Anyway - thanks. Tim.
