User Testimonials
	Higson	OpenBOM
Likelihood to Recommend	Decerto 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. Verified User Read full review	OpenBOM OpenBOM is well suited for users who require the ability to have a "structured sandbox" when it comes to part, BOM, and vendor management. By having this structure, it allows for consistent capturing of key information, in a structured way, while also being dynamic where approved users can modify the information without too much overhead. We're using it for a medical device. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	Decerto Separation of business logic from the app's code Decision table performance Good GUI Verified User Read full review	OpenBOM E-BOM management with an intuitive interface. Import/export from/to popular systems. Incentivized Alex Pyshkin Head of R&D Read full review
Cons	Decerto Pretty high entry threshold A few bugs in GUI UX might be better in some places Verified User Read full review	OpenBOM Consistent log-off/ log-ins required (despite saying stay logged in) Default "custom use" of fields (vs. requiring the user to check this each time a new parameter is selected). Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Usability	Decerto 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. Verified User Read full review	OpenBOM No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Decerto There is documentation on the site to help learn about the tool. There is also an email to ask for help or any other questions. The team responds quickly with a full answer. Verified User Read full review	OpenBOM No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Decerto 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. Verified User Read full review	OpenBOM -We selected for ease of use and ease of implementation -We wanted to keep our overhead low -We wanted to track some inventory and this was helpful for that in a lightweight manner Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Return on Investment	Decerto Shorter time to market with new features Business users might change things without the help of developers Verified User Read full review	OpenBOM We are yet to establish the ROI at a given subscription tier and compare it to other similar-priced solutions.
