IBM MQ Likes & Dislikes

Scalability and flexibility to deploy more than one instance, I found interesting the new functionalities such as the use of operators and having the administration console where you can see many of the functionalities such as the one that through the operator allows the management of the Queue Managers without having a manual administration of Kubernetes resources within Openshift, thus reducing the possibility of errors and streamlining management

The initial setup/configuration has room for improvements. Monitoring and reporting have gaps compared to the competition. There is no concept of bridging from topic to queues and even though there is a subscriber option it introduces more issues when exploring that option.

The experience has been very good both in theory and in use/practice. We have managed to upgrade to version 9.4.1-r1 with all the customization that we had in the company with the previous version. In use with day-to-day processes it has been very satisfactory since when the version was migrated, applications connected automatically and began to use the queues and queue manager pointing to the same DNS.
