    Red Hat Decision Manager is well suited for developing a microservices-based application architecture where reusable components / APIs can be used across different end-user applications. It however may not be well suited for use cases where business users need low code / no-code environment to maintain business rules themselves without any developer / IT team support

    Smarts is well-suited to handle rules orchestration for complex decision flows where there's a need for advanced functionality and reusable components or assets. It is very useful for scenario testing, modeling, and dashboarding. These capabilities give you robust insights and help you optimize your decisions. It is less appropriate for very simple decisioning needs.
