Elephant that dances but slowly
What do you like best?
It works well with websphere and IMs queues giving us freedom to implement applications communicating with mainframe in java
What do you dislike?
It's a legacy MQ. The access management and connection making is still mostly enterprise proprietary kind . The jars are not available in. maven central . Need to download a full blown client libraries even to work. No UI for exploring MQ queue manager details , not even to check stats.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We develop application in java which communicates to mainframe component that accepts ims MQ . Websphere MQ is the only tool that allows us to do so as of now.
