IGUANA VS. MIRTH CONNECT

Discover Why Providers & Vendors Prefer Iguana over Mirth Connect

There's often an initial attraction to open source software like Mirth Connect, but many neglect to consider the bigger picture, including the hidden (and ongoing) long term costs.

We understand the importance of selecting the right integration engine and the considerations to make when investing in the right tool for the long run.

Discover why Iguana is the optimal solution over Mirth Connect for your healthcare integration needs.

A better alternative to Mirth Connect, Iguana future-proofs your integration by connecting any system

IGUANA INTEGRATION ENGINE

The flexible, feature-rich alternative to Mirth Connect (Nextgen)

Iguana is a leading integration engine trusted by healthcare organizations worldwide. With its robust transformation engine, extensive connectivity options, and focus on data quality control, Iguana empowers organizations to seamlessly integrate disparate systems and improve patient care.

Intuitive

Intuitive Interface Development

Iguana simplifies interface creation by offering a streamlined coding process to build reliable integrations. Scripting customized interfaces is made easy with features like code autocompletion and real-time debugging tools, benefiting experienced programmers and beginners alike.

Mirth Connect, on the other hand, has a steep learning curve and requires extensive technical expertise to configure interfaces effectively.

Simple

Simple Interface Management

Iguana provides an intuitive and user-friendly dashboard, enabling you to effortlessly build and manage interfaces. The Iguana logging system and notification settings make it easy to monitor your interfaces at a glance, and ensure that errors can easily be traced and resolved without hassle.

Mirth Connect's lack of visibility into data flow can cause frustration when building channels or managing complex workflows, hindering efficient interface configuration.

Performance

Performance & Scalability

Iguana is purpose-built for high-performance and scalability, effortlessly handling millions of transactions per day while maintaining exceptional speed and stability, even under heavy loads.

Mirth Connect may struggle to maintain performance and scalability at high volumes, impacting system responsiveness and hindering efficient data processing.

Resource

Resource Consumption

Iguana's lightweight foundation optimizes resource utilization, ensuring efficient message processing while minimizing memory and storage requirements, resulting in cost-effective scalability.

Mirth Connect's resource consumption may grow significantly as message volumes increase, demanding continuous adjustments, additional resources, and potentially higher infrastructure costs.

Documentation

Documentation & Support

Iguana is known for its comprehensive documentation, online training, and an exceptionally responsive support team, ensuring you have the resources and support you need to succeed.

With Mirth, relying on community support only may lead to frustrating delays and challenges in resolving issues independently, oftentimes resulting in pressure towards a paid support contract.

The

The True Cost of "Open Source"

While open-source software such as Mirth Connect may give the impression of being cost-effective upfront, it's crucial to delve into the hidden trade-offs and limitations that come with relying solely on "free" software.

Mirth Connect's reliance on public resources and the necessity of paid contracts to access essential features and comprehensive support can introduce unforeseen costs and dependencies. Additionally, maintaining a team with enough resources and expertise to manage your Mirth Connect integration increases the total cost of ownership.
