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.

Its best for the people who are less exposed to programming and even Informatica Cloud Data Integration is trying hard to make it less code or no code. They have more than 300+ connection support to third party applications which make them unique in the data and analytics field. They have some bugs in glitch on which they are continuously working.

Usability
There is a learning curve with Informatica. It is not always intuitive to use. It is best suited for technical users such as system administrators

The interface is very intuitive, the documentation is very good so it is not complicated to operate.
The security is complex, but you can create a special role to access and the user ONLY can operate with the part that it allows.
Also, you can examine the data very quick with the SQL Browser integrated.

We also use Demand Tools from Validity. Demand Tools is a simpler tool and is easier for business users to comprehend. It has less of a learning curve. However, it is not nearly as powerful or feature - rich as Informatica. Also, the scheduled job functionality of Informatica is more robust

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
