User Testimonials
	Higson	Progress Corticon BRE
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	Progress Software Suited for any place where complex business rules need to be separated for ease of flexibility. Mary Breed Executive Head Read full review
Pros	Decerto Separation of business logic from the app's code Decision table performance Good GUI Verified User Read full review	Progress Software Handle complex business rules. Test different scenarios after changes have been made. Allow for version control and auditing of queries and responses. Mary Breed Executive Head 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	Progress Software The UI could be made more appealing. Mary Breed Executive Head 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	Progress Software 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	Progress Software 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	Progress Software Corticon is way easier and allows for testing.

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	Progress Software It has definitely had a positive ROI. Instead of having developers try to figure out these complex rules and how to code them in a flexible way, we now have business analysts using Corticon. Mary Breed Executive Head Read full review
