Yphise based its in-depth comparative analysis on more than 150 technical and functional assessments for each of the leading products included in the study. The firm's researchers aggregated these assessments into four categories that enable enterprises to evaluate Business Rule-based Decision Management products, including each system's ability to provide effective decision execution and comprehensive decision management, guarantee consistency of results, and integrate into heterogeneous operational systems. In Yphise's assessment, the Blaze Advisor system stood out on all four dimensions.

"In our evaluation, the Fair Isaac system proved to offer businesses greater agility to adapt to changes," said Marie-Pierre Lecrenay, senior analyst of Yphise.
