Tibco was not originally planned to be used for HL7 Integrations and as such we had to create some very complicated processes in order for the messages to parse and validate appropriately. It was simply not built for this type of interoperability. Comparatively, InterSystems IRIS for Health (HealthConnect) has out of the box HL7 features that would parse messages, offer a variety of validation options, simplified data lookups and transformation and reduced the amount of time it took to develop connections with out vendor systems. InterSystems IRIS also allows one to push just single files into production at a time so there is less of a chance of us pushing something that should not be in production yet as our previous system was set up to with TIBCO deployments.

The database, integration engine, and load balancer are all in one place. This is advantageous because 1) there are no hidden costs and it is also far easier to set up the network configuration. 2) The sales engineers are very willing to help in any situation and they are also incredibly knowledgeable about the product. They often offer more than one solution to your problem, as well as providing the pros & cons of such solutions. 3) Extremely fast & reliable compared to other integration engines. What more could you want?

InterSystems IRIS includes a wide array and assortment of otherwise stand-alone solutions. Having a single platform to support database interoperability, storage, and analytics, let alone Security and SQL tools is a great advantage over solutions that tackle a single aspect of the data lifecycle. If there is, however, tools and productivity software that your team prefers, InterSystems will have industry standard connections to help supplement their feature-rich applications.

Because [it's] a very powerful and efficient tool that has the ability to manage your data in a quick and reliable manner. It's easy to use especially if you work in the area of managing a large number of databases or simply need an extra hand.

InterSystems IRIS has the flexibility and power to be more than just a databse engine. We are able to create our business processes and interface with out javascript front end. SQL Server has been useful through the Entity framework connecting both together has been the winning combination for our organization. We are able to leverage our .NET developers on both the InterSystems front and on the SQL server front to develop truly power products.

I have always studied other databases, I cannot say if it is a problem for Brazilian colleges, however, after meeting IRIS / Caché, my concept of databases has changed. A much more robust and faster bank.
Now that I have had the opportunity to work with this database, there is no possibility to change it.

The only comparison I can make is that they are all database tools. I strongly believe that just the fact that IRIS is not so widespread and easy to find in research forums is the reason why it is not so "famous". The tool meets and meets all needs for any situation.

InterSystems IRIS is the union of the best parts of Caché and Ensemble, with a lot of new implementations and some enhancements. IRIS have the same multidimensional database estruture as like Caché and works as an Integration tool like Ensemble.
