    Intersystems IRIS is a really great tool for Interoperability. It has so many capabilities out of the box and then such a great developer community on top of that, that there are really no limits to what you can do in terms of data manipulation and translation. Personally I find it to be a great tool if you are looking for Interoperability software.

    It is good if you: 1. Have unstructured data that you need to save (since it is NoSQL DB) 2. You don't have time or knowledge to setup the MongoDB Atlas, the managed service is the way to go (Atlas) 3. If you need a multi regional DB across the world

    Pros
    InterSystems
    • Connecting with mutliple vendor platforms and systems allowing us to consume and provide data as needed.
    • Allowed us to implement our own RESTful api engine to server data to our internal applications.
    • Setting up their recommendations for high availability allow us to perform server maintenance with minimal down time to our users.

    • Generous free and trial plan for evaluation or test purposes.
    • New versions of MongoDB are able to be deployed with Atlas as soon as they're released—deploying recent versions to other services can be difficult or risky.
    • As the key supporters of the open source MongoDB project, the service runs in a highly optimized and performant manner, making it much easier than having to do the work internally.

    Cons
    InterSystems
    • Enhanced documentation, more comprehensive and user-friendly documentation, including detailed tutorials and examples
    • Improving compatibility and integrations with others programming languages
    • Introducing tools and techniques to optimize the performance of ObjectScript applications, such as profiling tools, performance monitoring utilities, and code optimization guidelines
    • A better compatibility with Python libraries

    • For someone new, it could be challenging using MongoDB Atlas. Some official video tutorials could help a lot
    • Pricing calculation is sometimes misleading and unpredictable, maybe better variables could be used to provide better insights about the cost
    • Since it is a managed service, we have limited control over the instances and some issues we faced we couldn't;'t know about without reaching out to the support and got fixed from their end. So more control over the instance might help
    • The way of managing users and access is somehow confusing. Maybe it could be placed somewhere easy to access

    Usability
    InterSystems
    The interface is very intuitive, the documentation is very good so it is not complicated to operate.
    The security is complex, but you can create a special role to access and the user ONLY can operate with the part that it allows.
    Also, you can examine the data very quick with the SQL Browser integrated.

    I would give it 8. Good stuff: 1. Easy to use in terms of creating cluster, integrating with Databases, setting up backups and high availability instance, using the monitors they provide to check cluster status, managing users at company level, configure multiple replicas and cross region databases. Things hard to use: 1. roles and permissions at DB level. 2. Calculate expected costs

    We love MongoDB support and have great relationship with them. When we decided to go with MongoDB Atlas, they sent a team of 5 to our company to discuss the process of setting up a Mongo cluster and walked us through. when we have questions, we create a ticket and they will respond very quickly

    We are using InterSystems IRIS [especially] for database operations as the query performance is really good for [a large] amount of customer data. You can easily integrate for any application like web, desktop, and many more. It also provides BI functionality which is also very easy to implement using InterSystems IRIS[.]

    MongoDB is a great product but on premise deployments can be slow. So we turned to Atlas. We also looked at Redis Labs and we use Redis as our side cache for app servers. But we love using MongoDB Atlas for cloud deployments, especially for prototyping because we can get started immediately. And the cost is low and easy to justify.

    Return on Investment
    InterSystems
    • Very Fast and scalable software to deal with big data flow, safe and robust.
    • The studio IDE is quite old fashion and lacks a few facilities
    • amazing for complex data consumption, its milyi-model capability wich allows multiple different models for a single set of codes.

    • Positive - Faster provisioning so we don't have development teams waiting.
    • Positive - Automated backups and server management - eliminates need for dedicated DBAs.
