Overall Satisfaction with Drools

Drools is used to manage business logic and to make it easy to understand and maintain. Drools helps you manage logic without complete knowledge of code. You concentrate on business logic only. It is very efficient when it comes to rules evolution when logic evolves with new business problems or capacities.

  • Rules evolution and maintenance
  • separate business logic from program code
  • Error handling may be difficult
  • Accurate for big projects, for small projects it may be too much effort
  • Versioning

  • Separation between code and rules make it easy to evolve with business agenda
