eiPlatform Reviews

The capability of the Pilotfish eiPlatform is staggering. This product, along with the accompanying eiConsole, allows us to rapidly develop, test, and deploy integrations between disparate systems in our hospital. If there is a need to move and transform data from one point to another *reliably*, this is the tool. The amount of built in integration transports and listeners borders on the ludicrous....

Honestly, there are no cons. The software is necessarily large in scope due to its versatile nature. The training will cover the "need to know" aspects of developing workflows on the platform, but there is a lot to learn, so be prepared to reference the excellent documentation when you first start out!

Ease of Intergration through the entire development process.

Once trained, ePlatform performed very well.

Multiplatform support with capability of control over each step of data input, processing, parsing, transformation, error handling, and data storage. From concept to production in a jiffy.

To maximize the the usability, you really need to get a deeper understanding of XSD.

Ease of Use, Very minimal learning curve

This is not a CON, i wish we had a capability use different SQL level features based on type of RDBMS

PilotFish is the most intuitive and robust software solution I have ever worked with. Which says a lot. I have 30 years experience working with products from Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. None of them have been as stable as PilotFish. We have had a PilotFish eiPlatform (the runtime) running for 5 years and it just keeps on chugging along. What I really appreciate is that it is so flexible and versatile....

I cannot think of one aspect of the product that I wasn't happy with.

Whenever I have contacted PilotFish support, I receive almost an immediate response, and my issue or question is resolved on the same day! Everyone I have spoken with from the support team has been knowledgeable and helpful.

The built-in logging information can be difficult at times to interpret when researching errors.

The Ease of use, flexibility and streamlined functionality

I haven't found anything yet to date.

The software is easy to learn and allows our team of analysts to implement ETL jobs. The software is very versatile allowing for any file type or connection to data. Unlike some ETL tools you can build complete platforms to manage your data acquisition and delivery methods.

I would like to have some light checkin built in for managing updates from multiple users. Their dashboard could use more end user configuration capabilities.

Love the ease of use and the speed of which you can get your job done on this platform. It has taken every file type we have thrown at it and processed the files with ease. The training materials that they offer online alone are very well thought out and put together to make their clients successful. The in-person training was very insightful and set us up to be successful right out of the gates with using the software. We have been able to turn around clients on our end 10 times faster than in the past.

The one thing I have found thus far is not an easy way to test out simple connections like SFTP from within the software.

Could do multiple integrations and different file formats at a time

needs to add some more extra features such as some scheduler options such as biweekly

The best thing about eiPlatform is the range of features and integrations supported by it. This tool forms an all in one package to meet most of your integration development needs. It supports the latest technologies and incorporates support for varies platforms. One of the most attractive features I liked about it is the ease of using the XSLT mapping tool! It's easy and quick!

Takes a very good amount of memory for execution.

These are the points that i like about the software: 1. It is very versatile 2. It uses functions and processors that other software don't have and that are really useful when needed 3. It is user friendly

The least thing i liked about the software is that it does not really support big data and that it is very memory intensive

Depth of functionality, ease of use, capability to test and review data sets at each step in the assembly line, speed with which interfaces can be built, tested and deployed.

To be honest nothing comes to mind. It ticks all the boxes.

flexibility to adapt to your company needs

the cost seemed a bit excessive and ongoing annual costs are heavy.

Ease of use and productivity. Great customer support. Great self study guide to get going.

I'm very pleased with the software. Fit our use cases perfectly. I don't really have any cons.

Intuitive graphical user interface and the capability of a containerized engine version. Highly customizable to interact with a variety of components (databases, web services, custom services) in the data transformation chain.

For advanced customizations without utilizing the graphical, it is necessary to utilize XSLT.

eiPlatform provides a complete integration solution in an easy to use application set. The eiPlatform also supports all of our database management systems.

The platform does everything that the competition does. There is nothing that we like least about the product.

It is flexible and easy. There are so many different methods to transform messages. There are videos and tutorials to teach you how to use this product even after training. The team at PilotFish is very responsive for any questions. One of the best customer services encountered.

The software really does not have any cons that I can think of

Intuitive once acclimated to interface.

I worked on an older version, so some things a little “outdated” visually, but I’d take functionality over form any day.

Very powerful compared to competitors like Rhapsody. Extensible custom processors provide a mechanism to build your own add-ons (listeners, processors, etc. etc.)

Requires a knowledge of XSLT which was a new paradigm for me.

This is the most user friendly and easy to use transformation software that produces comprehensive and precise results.

Can't really identify any negative issues.

We've used PilotFish's eiConsole since 2012 to quickly develop end-to-end interfaces for our mobile medication management products. The winning combination of their easily-digestible training, simple yet powerful console user interface, and even a repository of existing interface templates (PIE) made PilotFish an easy decision when we needed to integrate an interface broker solution.

It's a minor point but the console UI can be a bit tricky to navigate, especially busy UI screens like the data mapper, on a laptop or smaller screen.
