with other engines<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I'm wondering if anybody has comparison info with other engines. I
just started to evaluate the products<BR>not sure which factors to consider. But
I have these requirements:<BR><BR>Must Be<BR>1)Free or inexpensive
product.<BR>2)Rules change frequently, level of effort should be
minimum.<BR>3)Multiple join condition (A rule is determined ranging from 1 to 10
data fields.)<BR>4)Should support approximately 75 rules.<BR><BR>Better if we
have.<BR>1)Change Rules dynamically if possible.<BR>2)Ease of use for Business
users and developers.<BR>3)Rule versioning.<BR><BR>Will be happy if any one can
send me rule comparison document or suggest me which tools can i use to
evaluate.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Lindy<BR></BODY></HTML>
