Hi Jason, QuickFIX is a FIX engine. It does not have an OMS or pre-configured logic to connect to counter parties; it only handles the FIX connection. QuickFIX is meant to be used as a library in your application. You need to provide the details for connecting to counter parties and an OMS layer yourself if you need those things. QuickFIX is free and flexible. It can be made to connect to any reasonably compliant FIX vendor.
