Decisions vs OpenL Tablets

Decisions is a business process automation and orchestration platform for coordinating workflows, systems, business rules, people, and AI. Teams can build workflows visually and apply rules to govern how processes and decisions run. AI agents can operate within those workflows alongside approvals, human oversight, and process visibility. Process intelligence tools help monitor performance, spot inefficiencies, and improve processes and decisions. The platform lists integrations including Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Slack, Jira, SAP SQL Anywhere, and OpenAI. It also supports REST and SOAP APIs, database connections, OpenAPI and Swagger imports, and custom connectors through its SDK. Deployment options include cloud, hybrid, and on-premise. Decisions lists Android, iOS, web, Windows, API, and self-hosted platforms. A free plan is available, while pricing is on request. Foundation, Growth, and Enterprise plans are listed, with custom limits, advanced security, and dedicated support available on a custom plan.

OpenL Tablets is a business rules engine and decision management system that uses structured Excel tables as executable application logic. It supports Excel formats dating back to Excel 97, with tables for decisions, lookups, spreadsheet calculations, decision trees, and algorithms. OpenL Studio provides a web interface for editing and managing rules, including guided authoring, inline cell editing, and type-safe checks that point to errors. Rules can run as REST services, Kafka consumers or producers, or providers for Java interfaces; they can also be used in Maven projects and work with Java classes and methods. The repository can use Git, databases, and blob storage, with versions, metadata, WebDAV access, and role-based permissions. Analysis tools include tracing, explanations, tests, benchmarks, what-if analysis, and checks for gaps and overlaps. Deployment features include effective and expiration dates, staging, consistency checks, and live updates. The free demo bundle runs in single-user mode and includes a local Git repository with examples and tutorials.
