Decisions Reviews & Product Details

The best about Decisions tool is : it is so easy to use, the build design is more user friendly and it scalable and very easy to build applications even for the people who does not have coding experience. This tool rocks trust me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing i dislike about decisions is sometimes there is latency issue while loading projects in 9.6 version but thats is also fixed in newer versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ease of use of Decisions. The initial setup was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrating into existing software is a bit challenging and working with professional services can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The capability of the software to tackle any project is awesome. We've been able to use it in many cases in the company.

Some cases where we could have used traditional developers, we've been able to use our Decisions team to make a great solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't ran into any downside, besides training a new developer in the software, DOES take some time. That could also be affected by which project they will first be working on. I have to say, the training materials offered by Decisions is great though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Posibility to form flow basen on real test case studies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data flow complexity inside flow. Can be misleading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the user experience of building out flows with Decisions. Searching for modules to use and being able to debug each step is a great experience for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have anything right now. I need more time working with Decisions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Decisions allows our team to develop custom rating formulas that can be updated and changed quickly and easily. This has allowed changes that used to take several months to work through traditional development cycles to be completed in days, even with proper testing and validation.

The platform has very strong rules, data, and logic capabilities. It also offers UI/UX capabilities to completely author small to medium size applications within the platform. These UI capabilities are not as mature as the logic / rules side of the designer, although they are making some significant improvements in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Decisions makes development very easy and very visual and thus self-documenting. Decisions offers much more functionality than rules - flows, forms, integrations, etc. that make it possible to completely encompass business logic within, and implement complete working "code" modules without code. Decisions also allows for faster deployment of critical fixes. Because Decisions is a visual designer, it's easier to visualize changes, have confidence in them, and unit test individual components. Also, the export/import functionality allows you to quickly promote individual objects, rather doing a complete "build". During our review of rule engine products, Decisions was the most stable and feature-robust rule engine product that we reviewed. Decisions support has been extremely responsive and pleasurable to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Decisions, due to it's graphical nature, you can run the risk of departing from object-oriented code and modular coding principals by creating monolithic and procedural flows. This is not a problem with the product per se; and it is still possible to maintain OO-like architecture in Decisions, but requires some careful planning during design. Also, project with large numbers of objects (we are in the 1000's) tend to cause issues and delays during operational functions, such as repository and import/export when dealing with the project as a whole. (Great strides have been made to improve this functionality since I started working with Decisions in 2015. See note about support in previous answer.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While using form - easy to design, validation efficiency, ability to show hide controls based on conditions, binding controls data via form input or via flow, While using report/page dashboard - easy to create reports, ease of defining table relationship, implementing complex summarized report using matrix view. Rules can be reuseable in multiple flows. We can easily implement hard rules using matrix rule. Customer support is best for resolving issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding google fonts, defining responsive nature should be more easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Form/report and small application dashboards for quick reporting and data views.

How quick we can create API integrations with SQL & SAP enterprise systems.

How easy to adjust folder structures or change naming conventions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime trying to match data types and following the input/out parameters can be fun.

Each Step/Object documentation could be better or have more details on how to apply or use.

Migrating from different environment sometime the step/object IDs get lost are does not transfer and have to rebuild objects or update missing parameters.

Building relationships can be challenging under the SQL data integrations. This is not an issue for LOCAL DB.

Form designer could be more flexible. Advanced forms designs are painful due to grid definition and vertical/horizontal stacks. Really need to make sure you name each item/object uniquely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how collaborative and agile the Decisions teams are. Always willing to jump in and work together to meet customers' needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how difficult it can be at times to engage support teams on an issue. By the time they ask all the questions via email we have already figured it out. I think at times we could use better structure, for example with process coaching, consultants could come better prepared for deep dives and actionable items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
