Review on Helios RXPF by Jay Campbell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Open source, free and pretty decent alternative for Drools

I like how it's an open source project that anyone with development experience could contribute to improving its functionality or adding new features as time goes by without having any restrictions in terms of licensing model offered out there right now! It has been developed around some very specific requirements from my side which are being addressed via this software quite well so far - not sure if those needs would keep me happy even after more than 2 years since first introduction into their product line up but we'll see once they're released something else along similar lines later next year maybe :) Maybe try using it at least one-off before you decide what exactly your use case will look like? We needed our own implementation/wrapper over existing products' ruleset engines because none were really suitable enough when compared against each other performance wise while still maintaining compatibility between them regarding data types supported etc., hence building such wrapper was definitely worth trying initially just once only just make.

Pros
  • It's free, open source, written in Java and thus works on Windows, Linux and MacOS there's no need for any extra installation or installation of any "helper" software or software framework, no extra development skills required, quite stable so far, easy to develop and maintain, great community support, etc
Cons
  • Initial setup time
