Overall Satisfaction with IBM Operational Decision Manager
We depend on IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM) for a number of different applications and scenarios. A variety of applications where static/stateless rules, as well as decision tables, are required have been implemented using this technology. In addition to rule applications and decision services, there are rule sets, rulesets, and decision tables that may be created and configured by the company, and these are provided to applications via the usage of REST APIs.
- Excellent stability and performance, as well as the possibility to deploy more quickly.
- Simple but effective web-based user interface that enables us to make direct updates to our policies or rules.
- Effective rule Execution Server, which allows us to assess the rules and their performance
- After the rules are delivered, business users can make changes and keep them up to date without having to know a lot about technology.
- Some of our needs lead to a new package for the product. It would be great if it could be changed like how the governance framework can be changed.
- It is not really Cloud Native, and not all features and functionalities are accessible across deployment platforms.
- There should be further support for developing models using the decision modeling notation (DMN). Businesses must be able to model their knowledge, and DMN provides a common method to do so.
- Rules are straightforward to implement and maintain.
- Comprehensible business language.
- Simulation improves comprehension while reducing reliance on developers.
- Rapid change enables firms to be adaptable.
- Enhancements to the process of developing business rules for DBA applications.
- We were able to provide out-of-hours support to mission-critical application users by assigning rules matching frequent issues clients were facing.
A lot of firms will have their own pseudo-rule engines that are tailored to the application, but adopting open source frameworks like Drools IBM Operational Decision Manager includes an English-like rule language, an IDE for defining vocabulary and rules, an easy interface for creating rule applications from scratch and deploying them, as well as tools for testing them locally, through API, and via simulations.
