Alternative to form rules when making changes via Grid Edit

So I think it is pretty well known by now that form rules don't fire when making changes to records in grid edit form. My question is what is the alternative to automating changes? I guess the obvious...

Try this as a formula checkbox field

[Epic Compatible] = "No, Not compatible"
or
[Epic Compatible] = "No, does not meet Epic's minimum specifications"
or
[Epic Compatible] = "Will not be used with Epic"

    Great, you always would want to go with a formula over a form rule whenever you can.
