Customer voices
What people say.
For more than two decades, organizations have used OpenRules to put complex business decisions into production. Here is what customers, practitioners, and industry experts have shared.
“OpenRules has the most aggressive approaches to business-expert authoring and typically requires less developer support than IBM ODM, FICO Blaze Advisor, and Red Hat Drools.”
We selected OpenRules because it empowers our business analysts to efficiently model and execute complex business logic. By focusing exclusively on these problems, OpenRules consistently outperforms larger vendors, giving it a clear strategic advantage. Five years ago, we migrated several lines of business to OpenRules, and we’ve never looked back.

“OpenRules Decision Manager dramatically improves loading and execution time for our large decision tables accumulated over the last eight years. It also gives us a direct path to migrating our existing rules-based decision services to the cloud.”
“The great thing about OpenRules is that its interface is Excel, which means that you can start creating decision tables straight away in a tool that most people will have.”
