IRIS is the next step for the future

We use IRIS for integration with labs and the implementation with all labs and our central clinic has been quick and easy. Using HL7 very easy and calls APIs and Database without create big transformations. Using IRIS as repository of data of patients, making a RESP API with only 3 clicks and deploy it in production without stop any process.... We saved a lot of time and money.

PROS

This is the best all-in-one for interoperability application that I've used ever. It is easy to use, easy to learn and is supported by a big community that can help me.

CONS

IRIS requires a qualified person for its administration, there is a lot of configurations, levels, permissions, etc.. It's not easy configure security with a out-standard configuration.

Reasons for switching to InterSystems IRIS

We switch to the upper version of the product for security

InterSystems Iris is a flexible, powerful and innovative Integration Tool!

Overall InterSystems Iris for Health has been an incredible interoperability tool. It has shortened development time and smoothed the path to production for our team. It has great support and resources to back it so that it is keeping pace with the advancements of our modern world. It is truly an an amazing interoperability tool and I have had nothing but great experiences both with the tool and the company.

PROS

The InterSystems Iris UI is incredibly intuitive and they offer several out of the box features that are quite impressive. InterSystems IRIS for Health has built in capabilities for HL7 data handling and premade data transforming functions to get you working quickly. It also allows for incredible customization so that you can adjust those out-of-the-box features to meet the needs of your organization, vendors or use case quickly and effectively. On top of all of this the access to documentation, learning materials, and the InterSystems Community of Developers makes InterSystems Iris one of the best Interoperability tools I have had the chance to work with simply because the answers are at your fingertips. And if you cannot find an answer in the documentation or forums then connect with the InterSystems Worldwide Resource Center and they will get you in touch with area experts so that there is no problem out of reach.

CONS

It would be nice to see source control as part of the out of the box features that comes with InterSystems Iris, though there are well documented and proven methods to get this implemented. The base code is in ObjectScript so you will need to learn and familiarize yourself with this language before you can dive into custom functions and classes. There is a lot of documentation and courses available to set you on the right path for ObjectScript development and you do not need to know ObjectScript on day 1 to begin developing with InterSystems Iris.

Reasons for switching to InterSystems IRIS

TIBCO is not inherently an integration engine for HL7 Data and it took great lengths to make it useable for HL7.

Having lots of features comes at a cost

Support is very good, as soon as you have an issue you can open a discussion in a small but growing community, or contact support that will help you as a peer developer if needed.

PROS

Having an inmense amount of features integrated with the solution, from web interface, to interfaces with different kind of technologies, to database.

CONS

Having that vast catalog of features comes with a cost (literally and figurative) integration makes harder, although InterSystems is working to simplify it.

Reason for choosing InterSystems IRIS

It was already in place.

Intersystems IRIS Product review by Padamaj

I am happy with the product in daily BAU in my Role.

PROS

Intersystems IRIS is good product and easy to learn and implement the interfaces in healthcare domain.The huge documentation gives a clear idea about product and each and every component. This is helpful for new developers to use the IRIS for their BAU.

CONS

As I am a developer in healthcare domain few features are missing and it is directly not supporting in the IRIS. Example RTF file conversion, there is no direct components to handle it and we need to rely on third party software to implement the interfaces.

Reasons for switching to InterSystems IRIS

This was happened when I was searching for a job and adapted new technology for my carrier build.

Best in-memory database but bit unpolished

My overall experience was good as the query performance increased, and the time required for managing the database fell greatly in these two odd months, from when we began.

PROS

The speed of performance of IRIS is too good and fast. We were able to get around 2500% increase in query performance after our switch, which is too good. Also the process of migration and scaling due to heavy lifting is also easier.

CONS

We hit several barriers in implementing as it is still quite new and had to use some workarounds as there wasn't much clarity in the documentation

Reasons for switching to InterSystems IRIS

We saw the performance results of this database on a website and decided to test it, and we had huge improvement in performance in running queries. This is of paramount importance in our application system and we decided to try to switch in testing, the tests went great and we deployed it about two months ago. Since then the average time to maintain it has been quite low than SAP hana that we used for about 18 months now.

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.

Comprehensive Efficient and versatile software

PROS

As a developer, I have been working in this product. It's simplest language to write efficient coding and maintain easily. Intersystems IRIS has multiple products for various sectors. Intersystems IRIS for Health and Healthshare are specifically useful for healthcare sector and IRIS for data platform we can use it for generally software with various features. Eventually we can use this as a database and integration engine as well. I really recommend this wonderful product

CONS

I don't fell much. because most of the modern implementations are already implemented and ready to serve.

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.

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.

The best Interoperability, performance database and application development platform

it's the greatest investment we have made to solve any business issues and ongoing challenges and daily requirements.

PROS

Complete application development platform with variety of options to store data formats, support for various computer languages to interact and also include solid Interoperability platform.

CONS

I like the software platform and great software company in general. Some documentation needs improvments.

Reason for choosing InterSystems IRIS

We are already running major application. We know the data reliability and performance plus the software is able to solve challenges.

Reasons for switching to InterSystems IRIS

The old software had limitation on software license, limitation on business requirements for various Interoperability and reliability issues.

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.

One stop shop for your data storage, interoperability, and analytical needs

The impact on our organization and clients are easily felt. There always seems to be opportunities to integrate and adopt more and more industry-standard features to help enhance day-to-day operations. With a dedicated team to help develop and support their clients, working with InterSystems IRIS makes it easy.

PROS

The vast features and functionality of InterSystems IRIS is what makes it stand out. The impact the software has on productivity and efficiency can be easily identified across multiple roles within the organization.

CONS

It requires dedication from database administrators who understand the security-rich environment. With lots of features comes lots of back end management and configurations. It's hard to be an expert at all levels.

Modern Object Oriented Database with the ability of a full fledged programming language

Very positive, Easy to use and a All In One solution for SaaS company's needs.

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.

Lo empleamos en integraciones de ambito sanitario, pero tambien lo hemos empleado para integrar aplicaciones de marketing con software legacy.

PROS

Es un producto muy robusto, pese a estar pensado para fines médicos permite emplearlo para hacer integraciones de otros tipos y funciona exactamente igual de bien. Por otra parte el soporte oficial es genial y la comunidad entorno a el es de gran ayuda.

CONS

Emplea un lenguaje de programación propio y si bien permite utilizar tambien python, esto no te libra de tener que conocer su lenguaje.

A great development partner

So far, all is well. My interaction with their sales engineers and support has additionally been great.

PROS

What do I most like about the software? 1. The ability to support several developer technologies are in a single package. Object, SQL, NoSQL, JSON, XML, Java. 2. Built-in Analytics. I don't need an additional technology stack to support my analytics endeavors.

CONS

Like most large software products I wish the documentation could be a bit better.

CONS

The look and feel, I miss some interaction between classes and the business process fields. You need to copy paste classes to the fields instead of a rolldown in some cases.
