Senior Software Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Real-time chat has boosted one-to-one messaging and user engagement in my mobile projects
The best features PubNub offers, in my opinion, are one-to-one chat, as I mentioned in my review, and the great SDK documentation which allows for easy integration that does not take much time. Setting up channels, message listeners, tracking user status to determine whether users are online or offline, and ensuring reliable message delivery are all great features. I find myself relying on all three of those features the most because the presence tracking is great, the delivery speed is superb compared to other SDKs, and the user status updates immediately pop up, which is significant. The integration is very easy, so any new developers can easily understand the integration process thanks to the clear documentation. PubNub has positively impacted my organization as I have received numerous reviews and feedback stating that the chat works much faster and cleaner, and everyone appreciates it, saying it feels powerful. After implementing PubNub, I noticed positive outcomes such as client feedback acknowledging that they enjoyed the chat features and found them much faster than in other applications, which I believe is very positive feedback for any organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Mirth Connect Health Check has positively impacted my organization by speeding up deployment time in my previous jobs."
"Mirth Connect Health Check has positively impacted my organization by making integration seamless and being developer-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Having all the data in a single application helped my team by saving time and improving accuracy."
"If we had implemented all of this on our own, we would have had to hire at least 50 more employees for that, so we are very happy with PubNub and we have saved a lot of time."
"PubNub has positively impacted my organization as I have received numerous reviews and feedback stating that the chat works much faster and cleaner, and everyone appreciates it, saying it feels powerful."
"PubNub saves development time because we do not have to create a complete chat backend and frontend from scratch, enabling a plug-and-play approach that saves time, effort, and money for the company."
"PubNub's push notification and chat features stand out because of ease of use and very easy integration within our application."
"PubNub has positively impacted my organization by reducing implementation time and developers' work, making it very easy to implement and enabling fast development that has reduced the developers' time by 40-50%."
"The speed and efficiency of PubNub, which helps transfer data in real-time with very low latency, received positive feedback from our customers."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I believe Mirth Connect Health Check could be improved as the interface should be slightly better."
"I believe PubNub can improve in terms of pricing transparency, as I previously mentioned, since that is the only thing I think should be improved because for smaller projects or startups, estimating scaling costs can be challenging."
"Since PubNub is a paid library, it may not be useful for everyone."
"I gave PubNub a rating of nine out of ten because of the many features discussed, but I deducted one point because the cost increases with scale."
"The reliability of PubNub is really good, but occasionally we face issues where users complain about messages or push notifications not being delivered within a short period of time, as it occasionally takes longer, which could be due to outages."
"Regarding customer support from PubNub, around six years ago, we did not receive good support."
"Most of the time there are some instances at the load peak hours or sometimes payload is missed by the application or SDK at the SDK level."
