IBM MQ vs. Lobster Data Platform

IBM MQ connects applications and microservices in private datacenters, across hybrid or multi-cloud environments, and at the edge of the enterprise. It allows businesses, from large enterprises to startups, to ensure every order, every payment, and every customer interaction counts. Messages between applications are delivered reliably once-and-only-once and applications are decoupled to enable rapid response to sudden traffic increases or system outages.

Lobster is a data integration platform for complex, multi-party supply chains. It connects suppliers, partners and systems across EDI, APIs, legacy databases and cloud apps in one place, with 90+ pre-built connectors, 2000+ customers and 20 years of supply chain expertise behind it. Lobster gives teams control over how data flows across their supply chain, so they can build, customise and maintain integrations themselves. Teams can also see, enrich and act on data as it moves across systems and partners, using workflows, exception handling and human input where needed.
