Why Aletyx on top of community?
Aletyx builds on the Apache KIE community stack. The value we add falls into two areas: Software Lifecycle and Product Capabilities.
Software lifecycle & support
Community releases follow an open-source model. Fixes arrive when contributors have time. Releases ship when builds pass, but the project does not run a systematic hardening process. Vulnerabilities do get addressed, but timelines vary.
Defined release cycles
On a predictable schedule.
SLAs for issue resolution
That run on your timeline.
Professional support
Rather than volunteer availability.
Systematic security hardening
Before each release.
Product capabilities
Beyond lifecycle, Aletyx extends the community stack with capabilities that don't exist in Apache KIE or IBM BAMOE—true horizontal scalability, AI-native features, enterprise governance, and zero-rewrite migration paths.

AI assistant authoring tool
Natural-language to Decision/Process authoring
Aletyx is shipping AI Assistant editors for both Decision and Workflow products. Convert business requirements expressed in natural language directly to DMN models and BPMN processes with real-time validation. Neither IBM nor Apache KIE offer AI-assisted authoring.
AI assistant authoring tool
Process triggering from AI agents via MCP
Native AI agent orchestration—not bolted on
Aletyx implements native Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, allowing AI agents to trigger, query, and interact with business processes. Your existing workflows become tools that AI agents can invoke with full governance and audit traceability. IBM has added some MCP capabilities, but it’s bolted on—brittle and limited. Aletyx MCP is native to the platform architecture.
Process triggering from AI agents via MCP
AI agent node for ad hoc tasks
Embed autonomous AI decision-making within processes
Add AI Agent nodes directly in your BPMN processes for tasks requiring autonomous decision-making. The agent operates within governed guardrails, enabling flexible automation while maintaining compliance and auditability.
AI agent node for ad hoc tasks
Direct LLM invocation node
Native LLM integration in workflow orchestration
Invoke large language models directly from workflow nodes—for summarization, classification, extraction, or generation tasks. No custom code required; configure LLM calls as part of your process definition.
Direct LLM invocation node
LLM-assisted decision explainability
AI-powered decision explanation with validation
Generate natural language explanations of decision logic while maintaining full auditability. Essential for regulated industries requiring transparency in automated decisions.
LLM-assisted decision explainability
Governed composite AI
Symbolic + GenAI with full auditability
Combine the precision of rule-based decisions with the flexibility of generative AI—all within a governed framework. Rules engines and process orchestration serve as master controllers, ensuring AI outputs align with verified guidelines.
Governed composite AI
True horizontal scalability
Multi-node design without leader election
Aletyx Enterprise Build of Kogito is the first distribution to offer true horizontal scalability by eliminating leader election bottlenecks. IBM BAMOE and Apache KIE distributions rely on leader election, creating a single point of failure that limits throughput under load.
True horizontal scalability
Scalable job service
Enterprise-grade timer and async job handling
Timer events and async jobs are the first components to fail under leader election constraints. Aletyx distributes job execution across all available nodes with no coordinator dependency, so your high-volume process automation scales linearly without a single point of failure.
Scalable job service
Drop-in KIE Server replacement
Modernize jBPM 7 without rewrites
Aletyx Enterprise Build of KIE Server provides a drop-in modern replacement for jBPM v7 and KIE Server. Your existing process definitions, APIs, and integrations continue working. IBM BAMOE and Apache KIE force a complete rewrite to Kogito architecture.
Drop-in KIE Server replacement
Safe migration path from jBPM 7
Kogito is great for greenfield—not for production migrations
Kogito is an excellent choice for new projects built from scratch. But upgrading existing jBPM 7 production workloads to Kogito is a different story entirely.
Different engine. Different capabilities. Different architecture. RISK.
The forced rewrite isn’t just expensive—it’s dangerous. Process state management, persistence patterns, and runtime behaviors all changed fundamentally. Edge cases and behaviors that took years to stabilize in your jBPM 7 workloads must be re-discovered and re-fixed. IBM BAMOE and Apache KIE both force this path. Aletyx provides evolution, not revolution. Our Enterprise Build of KIE Server is a drop-in replacement that preserves your production stability.
Safe migration path from jBPM 7
Business Central / Decision Control
Visual authoring for business users and analysts
IBM turned a decision management system into a developer toolkit. BAMOE v9+ removed Business Central entirely—no authoring UI, no governance dashboards, API-only focus with no business audience. Aletyx Decision Control provides modern authoring and execution for both business and technical users.
Business Central / Decision Control
Zero-rewrite Drools migration
100% backward compatibility with Drools 7
Aletyx Enterprise Build of Drools maintains 100% compatibility with legacy Drools/RHDM/DMOE projects, restoring features IBM removed. Your existing DRL, DMN, and BPMN assets work without modification. Organizations evaluating OSS Drools 10 or IBM BAMOE face 12-24 months of rewrite work.
Zero-rewrite Drools migration
Rules orchestration support
Preserve your existing ruleflow patterns
BPMN-based rules orchestration has long been a best practice for complex rule sets. Drools 10 and IBM BAMOE fundamentally changed this capability. Aletyx preserves it.
Rules orchestration support
Excel decision table compatibility
Your xls decision tables work without refactoring
Drools 7 loads Excel decision tables with specific expectations around headers, type coercion, null handling, and cell expression semantics. These behaviors changed in Drools 10. Aletyx preserves the original semantics.
Excel decision table compatibility
Full DMN 1.5+ support
Latest Decision Model and Notation standards
All three platforms support DMN, but Aletyx is actively advancing to DMN 1.6 with enhanced tooling. Aletyx provides the most complete DMN implementation with visual model comparison and AI-assisted explainability.
Full DMN 1.5+ support
Maker/checker governance model
Built-in approval workflows for regulated industries
Financial services, healthcare, and insurance require maker/checker approval workflows before decisions and processes go to production. Aletyx Decision Tower provides native RBAC, multi-environment promotion (dev → test → prod), and Git integration for controlled rollouts.
Maker/checker governance model
CVE management & security lifecycle
Proactive security scanning with SLAs
Aletyx provides dedicated security teams that scan for vulnerabilities, manage CVE responses, and deliver patches with enterprise SLAs. Apache KIE has no CVE ownership.
CVE management & security lifecycle
Audit trails & compliance
Built-in execution history for regulatory compliance
Aletyx provides comprehensive audit trails and performance dashboards built into the platform for both decisions and processes. With IBM BAMOE and Apache KIE, you have to build your own audit infrastructure from scratch.
Audit trails & compliance
24x7 enterprise support
SLA-backed support from the original Drools/jBPM architects
Aletyx support comes directly from the original Drools/jBPM architects with 17+ years of experience and Apache KIE PPMC membership. We know the engines inside and out because our founders built them.
24x7 enterprise support
Fixed annual pricing
Predictable costs without processor-based licensing complexity
Aletyx offers transparent, fixed annual tiers: Decision Intelligence: $25K-$100K/year & Intelligent Process Automation: $50K-$200K/year
IBM uses complex processor-based licensing that can reach six-figure annual costs for modest deployments. Apache KIE is “free” but carries substantial hidden operational and risk costs.
Fixed annual pricing
No forced rewrites
Modernize without 12-24 months of rewrite cost
IBM BAMOE and Apache KIE migrations require 12-24 months of rewrite effort for both Drools and jBPM workloads—with no new business value delivered. Aletyx provides a migration path, not a rewrite project. The Kogito rewrite is especially dangerous because its different architecture jeopardizes core business stability.
No forced rewrites
