InterSystems IRIS: Powerful, but with barriers to adoption and learning
Reviewed on Jul 24, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the various functions when doing the SELECT, I find it very good how the SELECTS work in the cache, so that when you make a query, the next query is much faster. I also like having an interface for creating namespaces and dealing with various things in IRIS.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that knowledge about IRIS is so little disseminated; there is a lack of community, so there are problems for which we can easily find answers on the internet, and the IRIS documentation is quite poor compared to other technologies like Laravel, for example, which provides various examples and ways to use it. The IntelliSense also doesn't work very well as it doesn't give suggestions on what to use and explanatory suggestions on how to use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest problem that IRIS solves today, as I see it, is the enormous capacity to work with a large volume of data.

What do you like best about the product?
Excellent read and write performance, even with large volumes of data.
It uses a proprietary database structure (globals) that is extremely efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
The ObjectScript language has an unconventional syntax, which can be challenging for developers familiar with languages like JavaScript, Python, or Java.
Additionally, concepts such as globals and namespaces require time and hands-on experience to fully grasp.

A very powerful, flexible database and application system with a fair learning curve
Reviewed on Jul 24, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of access via multi modal data access, globals, object, SQL, JSON, XML, REST, vectors and other approaches mean you can use the system to back end many different projects. Equally you can use all the different routes and technologies to access one back end so there is no need to duplicate data elsewhere, or store data in multiple formats for quick or easy retrieval.
Uptime and reliability are top notch, real time system mirroring and HA functionality is bomb proof.

What do you dislike about the product?
Iris documentation for admin / developers isn't the best. They are working on it, but there is still a large learning curve to getting into development. It's worth it as it's a very powerful solution, but still.
It's not a well known solution so IT decision makers need a lot of persuading to take it on board, despite its huge presence in healthcare / finance.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full ERP style system provision. Business process management from end to end with ops, finance, management reporting, data analysis. Supporting external tools like websites, portals, mobile device solutions.
The system has the ability to support all this and is reliable and easy to manage.
Setting up a solution takes time and skill, but once its operational normal IT helpdesk users can keep it ticking along for most things.

Practicality in all types of HL7 to JDBC connection
Reviewed on Jul 23, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of the connectivity adapters of InterSystems IRIS is remarkable. The platform ensures robust integration with multiple standards, ranging from essential healthcare protocols, such as HL7 over TCP/IP, to established web service standards like SOAP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although it has a very nice messaging system where it is possible to have a complete view of the entire integration flow, I believe that the resending of messages can be improved, thus facilitating the tests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Interoperability resources are used for the conversion and exposure of services on an input and output data bus, and traceability resources facilitate the management and control of integrations.
