Ask HN: Anyone have experience with Rules Engines like Drools or FICO Blaze?

I am doing some work where we decided to use a rules engine. We are on a java/hibernate/struts stack. Are leaning towards Drools as it has some integration points with AppFuse that we are using. Plus FICO Blaze is way more expensive

Drools/JBossRules is actually pretty sweet (disclaimer, I worked on it once upon a time and JBoss gave me some kick ass headphones when they bought it from Bob and Mark). They have been taking it more in the direction of a traditional business rules management mabob, and I don't love their little language personally, but it is WAY nicer for programmers than Blaze, plus the devs are always in IRC and helpful, cannot beat that for support.

I've used Drools - works well once you figure out the ins and outs of their DSL, and is actively developed. Haven't used FICO Blaze.

I've had good experiences with Drools too. Never used FICO Blaze.
