Developer Mindshare
-Drools is pervasive, meaning it's everywhere
Hiring and consultants
-The pervasive nature of Drools means there are a large number of people you can hire. You don't want to get locked into a single vendor because you can't hire anyone or find alternative consultancies.
-Drools is actively used in a large number of university research projects, ensuring that there are people leaving university with Drools experience. This is a fast growing area, I hope that eventually Drools itself will be a teaching material in universities - once we add backward chaining and semantics.
Education/Training
-Two Drools books, more on the way
-Wealth of online information
-Active mailing lists
-Real time chat channels
-Free and open workshops throughout the year in different locations
Control
-Can you fix bugs yourself, are you in charge of your own personal roadmaps. Or are you at the mercy of a vendor?
Eco System/3rd party integration
-Drools is integrated everywhere - Spring, Camel etc.
Global Professional Services
-Red Hat is in the 4 corners of the globe offering a full range of professional services and support subscriptions.
All in all Drools is going in a rapid direction for risk reduction. Where as Corticon could be bought by Oracle or IBM next year for it's sales contacts and the tech shelved.
