The speed, primarily due to lua's efficiency is great, but from my perspective the dashboard is the best feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

This is a tricky question to answer because I'm not sure I dislike anything. For our purposes, it does everything we need and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The business model is built on service! This is refreshing and puts me in the mindset to look for opportunities to engage.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

I have no negative feedback. Keep doing what you are doing today, and do not lose who you are as the business grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New IT User to Iguana"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Iguana?

Easy to turn/off ports and find all my channels. Being able to customize the interface is straight forward as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

Would like to see it more user-friendly from a non-technical perspective. We have team members who need to login and create channels at times and aren't able to customize as easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Insightful software, looking forward to Iguana X!!!"
5/5
What do you like best about Iguana?

Iguana is my first introduction to software that handles HL7 messages. I like how it is focused on key software engineering principles such as scalability and interoperability, and am excited to use it more and learn more about it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

Iguana 6 channel set up and .vdt and .lua files are a learning curve to understand and pick up. Looking forward to trying out Iguana X! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Iguana is a robust, flexible tool for configuring and managing interfaces. I enjoy using it."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Iguana?

Lua is a powerful scripting language. I would like it even more if I could define hooks to our custom classes in C#. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

Our channels keep crashing. I wish they were configurable to "soft crash" so they resume after a pause in database availability. If database resources temporarily are temporarily available, channels crash. Every night, I get a raft of emails that our (~50%) channels have crashed. Each morning I have to restart them manually.

"Seamless integration for passing HL7 messages"
4/5
What do you like best about Iguana?

Iguana is helpful in providing the interface for passing HL7. The libraries also make it simple to add our business logic for passing data and receiving responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

The use of source control was different than we currently use git. It may be helpful to be able to create branches and leg multiple developers work on different branches and merge and then push to staging or production. I'm not sure if this is possible but I don't recall that being an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Software that is easy to use"
5/5
What do you like best about Iguana?

I like the versatility of Iguana, it allows you to be flexible with what is being sent since you have the ability to scripts to format in the way you prefer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

One thing that comes to mind is that there is no DR incorporated into the software. Everything is written locally to the server, if the server were to become compromised then you lose everything, unless you have a backup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"In early implementation the support provided helped us build out the necessary configuration."
5/5
What do you like best about Iguana?

There are examples of most tasks that can help jumpstart your configuration. Support can then provide any missing details or references to other documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

The need to learn and understand lua as opposed to something more standard, like JavaScript, has been a stumbling block several times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliable HL7 2.x message delivery and easy routing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Iguana"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Iguana?

The help documentation is great. I have not written any interfaces in Iguana, so I can't provide much feedback here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Iguana?

Iguana logs. I want to dial down to something specific, and they take too long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
