    Hyperon is less appropriate in smaller projects that do not contain a lot of business logic. However, if there are a lot of business rules to manage, many things that might be frequently changed, then Hyperon is a good tool to address it.

    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

    Red Hat Decision Manager can be scaled and adapted to meet the automation needs of the organization as it grows by reusing the components and business rules data which provides a high ROI on the renewal costs.

    It's a very good tool to manage business rules. There are certain GUI bugs and a code boilerplate, but overall it does its job really well.

    For high volume and / or complex set of legacy business rules, plan for adequate time for data migration activities.

    Hyperon has got far better performance. It also has far better GUI to manage business rules. On the other hand, Drools has a bigger community to help you with your problems.
