They are super fast and they interface allows for easy management. > > **Cons**: We experienced the occasional disruption in service but the issue is always resolved very quickly. > > Fantastic product and leader in the space\! ----- ### "Serial processing to parallel processing with Iron Worker" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *8 January 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Iron Worker is a great way to move your workflows from serial to parallel. This tool is actually a bit hard to wrap your head around, but it effectively enables either a large job to be sliced up into smaller, bit-sized chunks and processed concurrently, or can process lots of small tasks concurrently. What this means is that instead of having a bottleneck in your data production line (borrowing a factory analogy), where your output is low because one step takes a long time and thus the ENTIRE production line is limited, you can de-bottleneck it with Iron Worker. For us, this was doing ETL on a huge CSV file. I needed to have lots of data pulled out and standardized, before sending it off on a message queue (we also use Iron's Message Queue \[Iron MQ\], because of it's push queue feature). This was a huge bottleneck for us, and we were just spinning up more and more resources in AWS to try and push a watermelon through a baseball sized capacity window. Iron Worker was great because we were able to run 20 Workers that EACH worked on pulling the data we needed, organizing it and then placing it onto the message queue, at the same time. To say that our capacity lifted 20x with these 20 workers for our entire flow is not an exaggeration, and returning to our production line analogy, the operating capacity of our production line has greatly increased. > > **Cons**: The tool is a little tough to understand at first, but really this makes it a bit of a secret as many people don't understand how to employ it and reap the rewards. Worker came originally from a consulting solution to large company problems around these production line issues (I have chatted with the CEO over a call), and it really does a good job at it. Additionally, the docs are a little tricky to pick up at first, but is worth the effort to overcome. I do wish Iron would simplify some of their docs and there is a bit of versioning. > > As per my mini essay above\! ----- ### "OK but some enhancements sorely needed" — 3.0/5 > **Thomas** | *4 January 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and integrate with, feels like a cloud service > > **Cons**: Web UI really needs a search and filtering feature (it's extremely frustrating to click next 100 times to get to the task you need out of a 5000 tasks) ----- ### "Massively Important Functionality Missing" — 4.0/5 > **Andre** | *11 January 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the formatting in which logs are displayed through Iron. > > **Cons**: I can't stand that there is no search functionality in the application. In order to find a log I may have to page through hundreds of times in order to find the one specific log and that's hoping that I don't accidentally miss it while paging through. The fact that I can not search for a specific and known Task Label to retrieve that specific log instance I am looking for, is why I would not recommend Iron to others. The fact that I can only get 7 days worth of logs is also not great for OUR purposes. But the lack of a search feature/function is the \#1 issue for Iron in my opinion. There really needs to be an exposed, front end, search feature/function added for Iron to be a more efficient product. ----- ### "Solid service but can get pricey" — 4.0/5 > **Scott** | *7 January 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to get started and upload in my case, PHP packages to do some queue processing. > > **Cons**: As soon as I threw good amounts of traffic at the service, costs would add up pretty quickly. In the end it was cheaper to run my own queue servers instead of using third party. > > Very reliable, stable and quick to learn platform which would be even better if a little cheaper. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/117299/ironworker?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/117299/ironworker) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
