"One of the best"
What do you like best about InterSystems IRIS?

the practicality of coding, in addition to the integration with different parts of the system with their different purposes, which interconnect in a beautiful way. In a general perspective, the plataform UI is good and easy to understand. Although, sometimes, when there's a need to search for a feature, it's hidden very deep. Fortunately, it is been fixed with the new AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Interoperability Tool"
What do you like best about InterSystems IRIS?

InterSystems Iris right of the bat has some incredible out of the box features that deliver poweful connections and transfomations so that data is recieved, transfmormed and sent out quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about InterSystems IRIS?

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.
