We use IBM MQ at work and I wouldn't exactly call it simple.

2nd'd & 3rd'd ...

You hired a 50 man lumberjack crew to cut down a sapling.

I've been spending a some time to remove IBM MQ out and going to "simpler" queuing solutions. First of all, cost. Guess what, we're not getting anything out of licensing per year to justify the cost.

With improving the end points, we don't need all that complexity. With 5 9's uptime on the network and smarter end points, retrying messages isn't expensive.

As always, YMMV.
