My experience with the platform was very pleasant; it's a robust tool geared towards data integration and management. Although the licensing is expensive, especially for organizations, the combination of database, interoperability, and analytical tools in a single environment is very advantageous.

Like

Majority of components are available in class structure The front end, production view allows for easy user interface regardless of coding knowledge. The vast array of documentation available online.

Like

I really like the storing of the ccda, sda in the edges and being able to connect us Health insight. This product makes it capable to pull complicated healthcare data to make it usable for reporting and analytics.

Dislike

What doesn't help much is the unfamiliar programming language used, which makes it difficult for new developers to adapt. Although there is extensive documentation, it is sometimes complex and not very user-friendly, requiring more effort to find specific solutions. Finally, there is still a strong dependence on the InterSystems ecosystem, and migrating to other platforms can be complex.

Automated Translation from Portuguese
Dislike

Poor flow from deprecated code to newer implementations UI could be more descriptive to newcomers Globals are powerful but allow for miss-use and potential issues

Dislike

Provides major analytics capabilities with the data we have and Iris can support us. No issues. Iris for health works well for us.
