InRule vs. Progress Corticon Business Rules Engine

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.

Suited for any place where complex business rules need to be separated for ease of flexibility.

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

• Handle complex business rules.
• Test different scenarios after changes have been made.
• Allow for version control and auditing of queries and responses.

• Needs more debugging capabilities.

• The UI could be made more appealing.

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.

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.
