With an intuitive integration engine, teams can develop and implement interface and server connections to EHR databases or third-party platforms such as AthenaHealth, NextGen, Allscripts, and more. All data connections, as well as real-time metrics, can be viewed in Iguana's simplified integration dashboard. Iguana's integrated development environment, Translator, enables the filtering and transformation of messages with advanced customization using Lua. Translator includes source control, data testing, script annotations, and code autocompletion. For complete visibility, Iguana provides a searchable records log that tracks all data transactions including connection acknowledgments, messages, server information, stop and start time of connection, and more. Iguana also allows users to configure alerts and set access controls so individuals or groups of users have the correct access and are notified. Through Iguana's public APIs, users can access connection statistics, create and monitor channel connections, and query logs for external processes. Support is offered via 24/7 emergency services and an online help center. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 41 users.

While we may have problems figuring things out with Lua, we can always contact support and get the help we need. Thanks again. > > **Cons**: Lua, but that is just because I have no history in it. Syntax is one thing. Knowing what you need to look for to accomplish a task is another. > > We have been extremely pleased with the product, the performance, and the support. We are on Iguana 6.2, but are interested in moving to Iguana X. ----- ### "Iguana Top Dog for HL7" — 3.0/5 > **stewart** | *12 November 2021* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The IDE is second to none for rapid HL7 development. The ability to immediately see the result of code on data in the right panel is so good I don't understand why other platforms don't employ it or similar. However, this also leads to the one issue with the approach. If you have an integration that employs a database and the code is a self managing state engine, it becomes very diffcult to test as moving the cursor re-invokes the entire code and therefore changes state. Now that I know this, I can work with it, but it took almost 2 days to realise that that is what was happening inside a fairly straightforward state manager\!\! > > **Cons**: Configuration management is not separeated from deployable project. There is not way to build configs for environments and deploy a channel with the channe lof config or the internal integration config out of the box. You can with careful process and management achive this, but its too open to lazy or bad practise. I did come up with a way to achieve close to what I want though. I imported a config file for a project per environment, each config file tagged with "-DEV" "-PROD" etc to indicate the environment. An import statement (require) is configured to take an environment variable "ENVIRONMENT" set to the appropriate flag for that environment and then the imprt statement imports the config for that environment automatically. It works but it means that DEV and PROD have access to all configs, I'd rather see them separated. > > Mostly very positive HL7 dev is a breexe mostly and even non standard HL7 ()I wrote a custom sftp project) was easy to implement, the API is reliable and the API docs were easy to follow.) It seems to have most of what I'd need for HL7, lack of access to java libraries is a dissappointment, but I did not need them for the current project. Java acces is good simply becasue of the huge range of libraries available for custom integrations, I have written libraries for security, email, encryption, custom messge construction, date handling, PDF manipulation and extraction of petient data all of which requied java APIs. ----- ### "My Iguana Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Norma** | *16 December 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Iguana is their support team, which is always available to resolve reported issues promptly. They are highly knowledgeable and take the time to explain every action they perform on your system. > > **Cons**: Based on my overall experience with Iguana, I have not encountered any difficulties. Everything is straightforward, and connecting with the support team is always easy. > > Iguana provides seamless integration across multiple systems, ensuring smooth connectivity and efficient workflows. ----- ### "Review of Iguana" — 5.0/5 > **Lukas** | *4 September 2025* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fast pace of writing integration business logic. You can skip all of the programming good practices and make the sales team happy to meet the dates they offered to the customers. > > **Cons**: lua language - it is too niche. Overwritting os.time() is not nice. lua language - it is too niche. Overwritting os.time() is not nice. > > Many of things that were unacceptable in the Iguana 6 have been fixed in Iguana X : lack of GIT proper integration and awfully slow logging system. Especially under heavy load. According to the creators of the Iguana the lua language was chosen as the one which does not have to be updated a lot over long time. Instead they offer updating Iguana.
