InterSystems IRIS - "A reliable and efficient application"
- InterSystems IRIS operates efficiently, therefore, it does not crash often. However, if there are any issues with the software they are resolved in a short period of time since InterSystems IRIS' support team is very responsive.
- InterSystems IRIS collects and analyzes data, which improves decision making.
- InterSystems IRIS is very secure. Therefore, the company's data is protected.
- There should be better tutorials so that people can learn how to use the application correctly and derive their benefits from using the application.
- The administration portal is difficult to use, therefore, this should be improved.
- The number of themes in the application should be increased.
Fast, Solved and Cheap System
- A quick watch system
- Cloud-based operation
- See everything as all in one
- Minor system bugs
- Sometimes server lags
Flexibility, speed, innovation, support = IRIS
- 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.
- InterSystems documentation has some room to improve but has been on the right track over the last couple of years.
- InterSystems needs to find a way to get more developers in volved so that it is easier to find help when searching for ObjectScript developers.
- Sometimes if feels like system features are forgotten about without being completed. What is a hot idea and new feature one year becomes half baked and forgortten about going forward. Example: High availability/mirrored environment with the use of Productions.
Best in the business
- Allows to manage data by Java, SQL, node.js, .NET, C++, Python, and others.

- Provides an array of API to operate with transactional persistent data.
- Single stack environment for providing business intelligence into the core of the system.
- Transactional support is commendable
- Arduous to modify the generated reports.
- New technology difficult to understand and implement.
- UX in the administration should be more simplified.

Great Platform - One of the best Scalability Solutions
The Program is a DMS (Dealership Management System). We are gradually migrating the system so that it can have more fluid screens, and with IRIS this is very practical, since it allows the integration of open technologies / frameworks.
- The database, which is one of the best in the market, with tools available for creating BI and API.
- A redesign of the portal's administration screens and making some dark themes available to the studio.
- With this platform is relatively easy to manage and deploy.
- For now, I don't see any aspect where improvement was needed.
