I think the biggest downside to InterSystems Iris (and is actually small in comparison to what it could be) is that if you want to add custom functionaility you will have to learn a the InterSystems Specific programming language (at least a little) to get it built out. It follows pretty standard programing rules and syntax though so it won't take long to get moving with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Frequent version change. It is not adaptable in organizational level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fast, lets you work with many technologies, not just healthcare-related ones and integrates many cool features in your projects by default. Without doing any extra work, you will get a trace log that allows you to search and redo processes fixing errors. It includes a fast and flexible database with a tree structure that can also be used with regular SQL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a healthcare solution with many cool features, so as you will expect unless you have enough with community licenses, pricing can be harsh for small projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IRIS includes loads of options to do whatever it is you do. You can now even do your programming in Python, which opens up a ton of new possibilities. It's been very rare that we've run into something that IRIS didn't have the built-in functionality to get the job done. When you need help, both the community website and the customer service are great. In fact, you can get to talk to actual people at InterSystems very quickly!

IRIS is a bit pricier than most other solutions, and their built-in Analytics tool is a little bit inelegant and clunky to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very performant, and easy to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The IDE would benefit from having Source-Code Control built in, possibly to GitHub or similar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
