Aaron Prashanth - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at Siemens Industry
Consistent releases have improved collaboration while configuration procedures still need simplification
What stands out for me in Chef SaaS is that the procedure is straightforward and the release goes smoothly because we can create different versions according to our own requirements. Chef SaaS helps with collaboration between our development and operations team. A benefit I can see is that configuring is easier because developers commit new code and new versions, and using Chef SaaS, we can create different cookbooks. Cookbooks contain different recipes, and different cookbooks represent different versions. Using these versions, we can consolidate and create a new package that will help us with the release. Since this is a product-based company and our product is wind turbines, every time we have a product release or patch release, Chef SaaS helps us tremendously. We release different patch cycles such as LTS patch cycles, Windows patches, or any kind of patch feature and built features. To maintain the cycle, the process is quite smooth.

Streamlines clinical data exchange and has improved HL7 to FHIR transformation and monitoring
The best features Mirth Connect Health Check offers are that it provides a graphical way to create channels, source connectors, destination connectors, filters, and transformers without the need for extensive coding. The dashboard messages browser allows me to track message status, receiving, send, error, and troubleshooting issues quickly. It supports HL7, XML, JSON, and TCP/IP and HTTPS, RESTful APIs, and databases. Out of all those features, I find myself appreciating the troubleshooting issues, error identification, the API, and multiple protocols the most. The message browser logs, test messages, and connection testing make troubleshooting easier than many custom integration solutions. It also provides JavaScript and custom libraries that can be integrated for advanced use cases. In our organization, we are mostly using patient care devices, services, and order APIs. So mostly, EMR data, we are integrating with Mirth Connect Health Check as an HL7 integration. For the outbound, we are sending using RabbitMQ to device applications. Since using Mirth Connect Health Check, I have noticed that it has definitely reduced a lot of time as an HL7 or healthcare data integration. Different data formats require compliance and other aspects, but if I go with some other native language, it takes more time to build an application. Mirth Connect Health Check is very easy to use.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Chef SaaS is stable and we have never faced any issues with it, as it is quite reliable and, since it is mature and established, it is capable enough to manage large infrastructures."
"Chef SaaS has positively impacted my organization by saving more time; we do not need to control Chef control node and we can apply the required changes for VMs quickly, which is a big advantage for our organization."
"Mirth Connect Health Check has positively impacted my organization by allowing our interoperability master, who knows how the message should be drafted and sent but is not a technical person, to use this tool easily."
"Having all the data in a single application helped my team by saving time and improving accuracy."
"Mirth Connect Health Check has positively impacted my organization by making integration seamless and being developer-friendly."
"Since using Mirth Connect Health Check, I have noticed that it has definitely reduced a lot of time as an HL7 or healthcare data integration."
"Mirth Connect Health Check has positively impacted my organization by speeding up deployment time in my previous jobs."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement is that if you compare Chef SaaS to Ansible, Ansible is much faster and the process is easier and faster, but Chef SaaS is more complicated."
"Mirth Connect Health Check can be improved mainly in the JavaScript coding section, where it does not give me good access to the variables and the inside of class codes so that I can customize things on my own, which depends on the behavior of Mirth using the reference of their open-source Java code."
"I believe Mirth Connect Health Check could be improved as the interface should be slightly better."
"Mirth Connect Health Check's scalability is pretty good for small to medium hospitals, but for bigger installations, we had issues talking about millions of messages per day, and that's why we ended up coding our own solution."
"The weakness part is that the UI is somewhat outdated, making it difficult to manage with large environments, and it requires JavaScript knowledge for advanced development."
"One main challenge I faced was because I was using a 32-bit application, and the amount of data that we were collecting was significant since it was our country's biggest laboratory, processing thousands of samples every day."
