Functionality

Pros:

Has access to everything a current SaaS company might require to build/implement/support current and future features. Features such as REST/SOAP APIs, Database mirroring for high availability, Docker for environment sharing, in-built BI tools, Object Oriented Database, Terminal access etc etc.

Cons:

Rarely but we did encounter that there aren't enough tutorials regarding the application. Also, since this is not open source for a feature that's just come out, developers usually need to wait for a few years before getting the feature implemented.

InterSystems IRIS best integration suite

I've been working with the HL7 standard in ER7 and XML modes and using differents versions at the same time without any problem. The visual tool for creatig data transforms or bussiness process are great improvements that allows you to learn and understand the workflow of your integrations while you can switch to write all of them directly with code when you feel comfortable with your expertise.

Pros:

Intersystems IRIS lets you work with lots of standards directly, it comes with built-in adaptors to communicate seemlessly with lots of clients/organizations to make easier the integration between different systems.Even if you only need to work with text files or handle thousands of http requests IRIS will provide great performance, monitorig tools and superb stabilty.

Cons:

Knowing how IRIS works can be a little tricky a the beginning until you know what businness services, bussinness process and bussiness operations are and how they combine to create every integration you could need. Fortunately there's a huge online help resorces available to help you in this process.

Never say IMPOSSIBLE

I've seen developers that fell in love with it. They required control not to reinvent wheels just because it was so easy possilble. And others that were lost because of the broad range of possibilities not finding their way.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I like especially its incredible flexibility for all kinds of business challenges. There is no corner of the business that can't be serviced. This doesn't mean you have to do it and it is flexible enough to interact with any other solution. But you are never forced to say it can't be done At the same time, it is extremely efficient in its use of hardware resources with almost linear scaling.

Cons:

To make the best use of it, you have to educate your developer team. Experts are hard to find and they should have a real sense of engineering. It is different from the mainstream but the difference pays off by performance.

Excellent tool for data management

We have been using IRIS since 2017 and from the beginning it has allowed us to define rules that make business process management more effective. Its database is robust and allows for high efficiency and scalability. When assigned to a self-performance analytical engine, it allows for real-time decision making. It also has BI capabilities and creating APIs is simple. The implementation is also simple, I recommend.

Pros:

What I like most is its reliability and high efficiency. The Software is also intuitive and has a great overall user experience. The implementation with the existing infrastructure was easy, generating little impact to the processes that we had previously.

Cons:

Intersystems' technology is not yet so popular, which makes it more difficult to hire qualified people and slightly increases the learning curve.
