About

HCL Informix is a high-performance, multi-model database management system designed to support mission-critical applications across on-premises, cloud, hybrid, and edge environments. It manages relational, object-relational, and dimensional data while natively integrating multiple data types such as SQL, NoSQL, JSON, time series, and spatial data within a single engine, enabling flexible data architectures without requiring separate systems. It is built for extreme transactional workloads, capable of processing millions of transactions per second with full consistency and concurrency, making it suitable for large-scale, real-time operations. It delivers enterprise-grade availability through features like clustering, replication, and always-on failover, ensuring continuous uptime for critical systems. Informix has a lightweight footprint, requiring minimal memory and administration, which allows it to be embedded in devices or deployed at the edge for IoT.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I like the no-nonsense command-line interface. PAYE and connection to HMRC is an incredible feature to have. I love that I can set it up on my own servers. It works very well.
  • Stansoft is an excellent accounting software that addresses the needs of small businesses. It has lot of functionality but as a user based in UK, I've only used only VAT MTD and HMRC PAYE modules. * Extremley lightweight * Double entry accounting * G/L * Sales/AP/AR/Invoice generation * Up to date with UK Tax rules * Easy setup / clear documentation / video tutorials
  • Runs in a Unix terminal. The features aren't hidden or obscured behind menu after menu. Reports are plain, easy to print or export into usable data. The support we have received for any issue/lack of knowledge has always been fantastic.
  • HMRC approved for Vat and Paye submissions. Terminal based and accessible via ssh from anywhere in the world. Super fast. Multiple user logins unlimited. Easy layout of Menu's. Easy to understand. Great customer support if needed for a small fee. The manual is easy to read.

Cons

  • There's a lot of features. I only need it as a UK business, it would be cool if I could set it to a mode that would hide all the features and sections that wouldn't apply to me. You can just ignore those sections if you don't need them, but it'd be nice to be able to pick a setup that only shows you the options relevant to you.
  • Text based UI Steep learning curve Potential for improvements to user experience
  • I have yet to find anything I don't like about it.
  • Nothing to dislike if I am honest. No issues to dislike at the moment.
