Teams replacing or evaluating Mirth Connect
Worth noticing
The homepage reports 31 MB memory at rest versus 383 MB for Mirth Connect; the supplied extract does not independently verify the comparison.

Field notes

The described workflow uses `perfuse explain` to identify what a Mirth channel converts cleanly, converts with caveats, or cannot convert, before running a side-by-side comparison. The comparison pairs output directories by message control ID and groups disagreements by cause; the page says message content is withheld by default. Perfuse also presents its channels as editable files that can be created in the browser or edited by hand.
