Higson vs. InRule

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.

With InRule, we are expecting to be able to move business logic out of the developer domain and back into the business domain. Business logic is currently captured in UI (data validation) and middleware layers. These are areas in any application where leveraging InRule's capabilities allow for changes in business logic to be made with little or no IT involvement.

• Separation of business logic from the app's code
• Decision table performance
• Good GUI

• It is easy to tweak business rule parameters.
• Create new logic with low barriers.

Incentivized

• Pretty high entry threshold
• A few bugs in GUI
• UX might be better in some places

• Needs more debugging capabilities.

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.

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.

InRule's Support Portal provides a "one stop shop" for submitting support questions, accessing training information, managing licenses, and getting updates on InRule's roadmap.

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.

InRule offers a more organized software design, a well-structured framework in design, and is easier for new users to start contributing given documentation. Drools is spreadsheet-based and lacking the capability to do really advanced pseudo-programming.

Incentivized

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

• It is always reliable and efficient.
• Has won customers over.
