InterSystems IRIS Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Its just very fast! very robust database and can take care of big data flow.

Can be expensive and for some people might be confusing since is an Object oriented database.

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.

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

It's easy to use and fully documented, besides has a learning platforming and a great support.
Extremely fast and reliable database

There are few qualified professionals on market.

This is the best database management software we've used. In hotels, data comes is generated from various points, Intersystems IRIS helps in collecting and processing data securely.

Staff requires training before it can be used properly. Takes time to get used to it.

InterSystems IRIS accommodates implementation from simple interfaces to complex integration deployments.
It is robust and performs well.
The graphical features are very useful. For example, the Production Management screen and the DTL Editor.
The documentation is also very good.

Would like to see more features to support the Developers.

The way you can build business processes en productions. The Message trace and logging is very clear and you can follow the process flows perfectly.

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.

The ability operate multiple applications at a single time

Nothing so far as per my personal experience

-Easy to use
-Extremely customizable
-Excellent support

In all of the years of using the product I have not really found anything that can't be done.

One of the great thing about IRIS, is that Intersystems opened a little more, focusing in interoperability, we can work with a lot of things and languages, for example, using the REST api we can do anything, and there are too many other solutions as the connection with NodeJs. Resuming this is a great tool in all aspects, the management is very easy and understandable to everyone.

Some things can be hard to work, as like Machine Learning, this is a difficult question in any technology or language, and in IRIS it is not so easy too.

I am impressed with the speed with which IRIS processes data . It almost instantly linked with our database and creating APIs is extremely simple .

Unless you configure the admin settings properly at the beginning , you'll get a lot of permission restrictions later on and dealing with those can be frustrating .

the software is very fast and easy to use.
The documentation is very good and it has a lot of good information

I don't have nothing to say about it. I realy like the software

It's a very powerful tool easy to access and manages your data very fast in a reliable manner .

You struggle to learn at at first but you will eventually get adapted to it.

Help to build high performance data applications

This is little complex for novice users and time consuming

- easy to manage the data and analyse, its very good for the one who need to analyse the big database data and it support all kind of database.

- still need some background of database query skill,

Docker compatibility;
Extremely customizable;
Excellent support;

A little complicated documentation, but the community is very active in resolving doubts.

With IRIS it is very easy and simple to manage data, including several formats. The support is very good, fast and accurate. The software has incredible confidence.

The program administrator must be well prepared, as the settings must be very well controlled, there are several levels of settings.

Powerfull, feature rich, robust, and simple to install and manage.

Licensing can be awkward but not something to stop the platform being used.

Competent support and the community is extensive and caring

Difficulty finding tutorials, but the community meets this need

This is the best product as very capable and good for analytics.

It's bit complex to use required little bit technical knowledge
