“Ensemble/IRIS needs to be more flexible but more structured”

Feb 2, 2022
Support is not too bad but they too do not seem to know that product that well as some issues took a while to resolve. The product needs major improvement for alerting. Alerting conditions can be different based on day and time and the alerts do not take that into consideration as only one alert for each type of alerting event is possible when it should be something like 8am to 4pm alert if loss of connection is more than 5 minutes and from 4pm to 8am alert if loss of connection is more than 30 minutes. When using Studio, the organization of what where is has no forced structure to prevent them from being stored to any location... should be more forced on the structure for the DTL, Classes, etc. Example would be if it was file based.... DTLs always be stored in the Transformation folder so you would know where all the DTLs are. This would prevent people from placing things all over in different location.

Ensemble (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

Like

Easy to apply changes

Like

Robust integration Engine Ententsive connectivity options Monitoring and analytics

Dislike

The initial onboarding took us some time, once we were comfortable with the usage, the daily operational overhead reduced a lot

Dislike

Not easy to do a group of changes to be applied at same time for only doing parts that were changed. Have to define a schema for the Service as it should just receive the data matter what it is like and save the message saved. When configuring being web based makes it more difficult to be able to work like a real program. The basics for monitoring and stopping and starting of the interfaces are fine for web based but not for doing the configuration as it is very cumbersome and too many customs plugins would be needed to make it have a good look and feel of a good program. Cannot easily resend from a file if you have archived file based messages because the database gets too big when storing the data. Searching for messages in the database often hangs up and times out and have only 30 days stored. If all the messages were file based, this would not happen. Support often has to contact or consult with others to resolve or answer the non basic issues. Not easy to customize if a custom reply message needs to be sent. Would need to create a custom Service when it should be just a configuration items within the standard TCP/IP HL7 service. Viewing the productions does not look like there is an issue if not in alert status where will not show red if alert is to alert when 30 min have passed without being able to connect. To bounce a connection, if one of the connection settings I think it is the reconnect retry but not sure if that is the one but if set to 60 seconds, then the connection will not be able to be cycled quickly as could take up to 60 seconds to cycle/bounce. Resending messages should be allowed from service and go thru the routing, DTLs necessary for one specific Operation and not to all that the message originally routed to.

Dislike

Need to improve the user interface The cost must be reduced.
