Higson vs. InRule

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.

InRule is suitable for when your business rules need to change on a daily basis and you want the flexibility for your commercial team to take the ownership and drive results, without dependency on development teams. It also suited for when you want to quickly prototype new business logic without going through development cycles. It is also suited when you want to have the simplicity in the system so that even managers can jump in and help if needed.

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.

There is not a single instance where they didn't respond within 8 business hours.

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 also evaluated Sequel Rulebook. InRule stood out against both vendors as easy to use, product/domain focused, and enterprise-ready.

• 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.
