    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.

    Yes, definitely. We wanted a flexible but robust software and Sciforma seemed to be the best fit

    • The largest con for me is the clunky UI. It's not very intuitive, and has a larger learning curve to become a proficient user.
    • Reports are functional, but could use some improvements.
    • It can be slow at times, and you have to wait to make sure your changes are saved before moving on.

    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.

    This software allows project and portfolio managers to analyze and prioritize projects based on resource allocation and available effort. It helps you compare the sorecast effort with resource availability. You can email, call or tweet them if you have concerns.

    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.

    We were looking at vendors but they didn't meet our expectations and weren't flexible enough.

    Return on Investment

    • Shorter time to market with new features
    • Business users might change things without the help of developers

    • Before Sciforma we were running projects out of Excel and emails. Using a cloud based application means that everyone is viewing information in real time.
    • Our executive leadership knows that they have one place to go for a real time status on all of our strategic projects.
