The Ab Initio Business Rules Environment (BRE) allows business analysts to specify business rules in a form that is very familiar and comfortable to them: grid-like spreadsheets. In the BRE, the rules are specified in business terms, not technical terms, and with expressions that are clear to anyone who has worked with Microsoft Excel. As a consequence, not only can rules be specified quickly and accurately, they are also easily understood by other business people.N/A

Red Hat Decision Manager is well suited for developing a microservices-based application architecture where reusable components / APIs can be used across different end-user applications. It however may not be well suited for use cases where business users need low code / no-code environment to maintain business rules themselves without any developer / IT team support
