		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I work with UX, and the company uses IRIS, I've worked with other databases, but IRIS surprised me with the speed of data access. I really like the IRIS REST applications and extensions in Visual Studio Code and DBeaver CE, are very useful. Created a lot of new possibilities such as working with machine learning, integration with python, node and AWS that creates a much faster environment. Very fast and scalable database, good management for huge data flow with safe paths providing full resources to build a complete application without needing anything else. It's a high performance database, the union of two products (Caché and Ensemble) with a lot of enhancements. Cons I realized that IRIS is still not widely used, which makes it difficult to solve small problems, which could be solved with a quick search on search engines. I have no cons about IRIS, because I am new to InterSystem technology, but REST applications are very interesting. The license is pricier than just buying ensemble. Also it's a new tool that it's not been used a lot and a training is highly required. Lack of information on the open web for some particularities and the Studio editor is kind of outdated. Until now, we don't have any, we upgraded applications from Caché to IRIS, it's all fine.
