Hyperion is great for Financial report consolidation and also for generating reports. It also has built in regulatory and other compliance rules which helps us reduce costs overall. The OLAP engine can easily be used for a full scale project management requirement. Since the data is stored in clusters in the cloud, read and write speeds are high and we use that speeds to generate multiple Business Models in just a few mintues.

If the rules are going to be managed by IT people JBoss BRMS is good enough, if you're looking for a tool that will be used only by business analysts, you'll probably like to find for another BRMS

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.

For high volume and / or complex set of legacy business rules, plan for adequate time for data migration activities.

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.

We were striving to automate the entire process because our core firm focuses on the recruitment process, as I indicated previously. Comprehensive automation, on the other hand, is unthinkable in our sector. As a result, we went with Red Hat Decision Manager, which has handled almost all of our business rule management difficulties. In order to close candidates, we were also able to automate decision-making.
