Open-source tools break. Enterprise tools bleed your budget. Nected is the only modern decision engine that actually delivers—fast, flexible, and production-ready from day one. Just focus on what logic to implement, not how to write it.
Open-source tools break, and enterprise tools bleed your budget. Nected is the only modern decision engine that actually delivers—fast, flexible, and production-ready from day one. Just focus on what logic to implement, not how to write it.
Every decision engine out there is either stuck in 2010, priced like a Fortune 100 ERP, or breaks the moment your use case gets real.
Here’s the truth they won’t tell you:
Criteria | Enterprise tools (Pega, IBM ODM...) |
Open Source (Drools, gRules) |
In-House Hardcoded Rules |
|
---|---|---|---|---|
Business-Friendly UI | No | No | No | Yes |
Time to Iterate Rules | High | High | High | Low |
Performance and Scalability | Varies, Often Suboptimal | Low | Depends on Implementation | High |
Setup Time & Cost | Months, High License & Infra Cost | Quarters, High Developers & Infra Cost | Quarters, High Developers & Infra Cost | <1 Day, Low License & Infra Cost |
Maintenance Cost | High | High | Medium | Low |
Governance & Access | Robust & Granular | Manual / External Git | Basic/Custom | Robust & Granular |
A/B Testing | No | No | No | Yes |
