InterSystems IRIS Product Survey - Data Loading & Packaging

General

Thank you for participating in this survey on InterSystems IRIS data loading & packaging capabilities!

We'll be using this feedback to improve InterSystems IRIS, so please share any details you like, both about things you liked about the current product as well as gaps you noted or things we should do better.

In particular, we're interested in hearing your impressions on some of the new capabilities added with InterSystems IRIS 2021.2

Question Title

* 1. Which of the following data-loading scenarios do you often find yourself in:

I receive a data files I know nothing about and want to investigate it (for use in app, analytics or ML)

I receive data files with a reasonably stable structure at a regular schedule and need them in my app or analytics workflow

I regularly poll a non-IRIS database for a specific set of data I need in my app or analytics workflow

Data is inserted into my database row-by-row through an application (through users or other logic)

Other (please specify)

Question Title

* 2. When you are on the data-producing side, which of the following scenarios applies most often?

I receive irregular requests for specific one-off exports, for example for an analyst or data scientist

I need to provide access to data available in an IRIS database to another IRIS user in a somewhat different format (e.g. through SQL views)

I need to present data stored in an IRIS database to users of a third-party database inside that other technology

Other (please specify)
