We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ethereum is an open-source solution, so anybody can use the specifications and implementations available."

More Ethereum Pros →

"There's lots of integration potential."

More Hyperledger Fabric Pros →

Cons
"Ethereum wasn't scalable in version 1.0 when it used a proof-of-work consensus algorithm. It still isn't scalable in 2.0 Scalability is one of Ethereum's primary limitations because the number of transactions per node is restricted. That is one problem we're trying to solve with our blockchain product."

More Ethereum Cons →

"They need to improve the ease of upgrading from one version to another."

Questions from the Community
Top Answer:Ethereum is an open-source solution, so anybody can use the specifications and implementations available.
Top Answer:Ethereum is free because there is no central authority to which you must make a payment. You only pay a transaction fee. It's a distributed network, so a node processes each transaction, and you don't… more »
Top Answer:In 2.0, Ethereum adopted a proof-of-stake algorithm. The speed of transaction processing is still slow, and the gas fees are quite high. Decentralized finance couldn't take off because of the high… more »

Overview

Ethereum is a platform and a programming language that makes it possible for any developer to build and publish next-generation decentralized applications. Ethereum can be used to codify, decentralize, secure and trade just about anything: voting, domain names, financial exchanges, crowdfunding, company governance, contracts and agreements of most kind, intellectual property, and even smart property thanks to hardware integration. Ethereum borrows the concept of decentralized consensus that makes bitcoin so resilient, yet makes it trivial to build on its foundation. To find out more about how Ethereum works, consult the whitepaper.

Hyperledger Fabric is a blockchain framework implementation and one of the Hyperledger projects hosted by The Linux Foundation. Intended as a foundation for developing applications or solutions with a modular architecture, Hyperledger Fabric allows components, such as consensus and membership services, to be plug-and-play. Hyperledger Fabric leverages container technology to host smart contracts called “chaincode” that comprise the application logic of the system. Hyperledger Fabric was initially contributed by Digital Asset and IBM, as a result of the first hackathon.
