What is our primary use case?
My main use case as a student is to create and develop small use cases and to learn the overall platform experience.
As a student, I have used Pega Platform to create, develop small use cases, and learn the overall platform experience. I need to use Pega Platform to test all the applications and features that I need to test.
We have developed a use case about an interview application where the user can submit their job applications, and the interview goes through based upon the steps. We have implemented this using Pega Platform, utilizing the inbuilt features.
What is most valuable?
In Pega Platform, we have used the inbuilt OOTB rules which have already been developed. It is a UI-based development platform, so apart from the core, it is a low-coding platform that allows me to personally use features such as inbuilt case flow structures and to create steps and small data types.
In my opinion, the design structure of Pega Platform is a best feature, as it allows you to create the overall design inbuilt and later add the features step-by-step for application development.
I find the step-by-step feature when building out structures easier because we have case flows and stages where we can add the steps.
I also enjoy the integrations in Pega Platform, where we can communicate with third-party resources to extract and send data in real-time, including sending emails and messages or integrating payment applications.
Pega Platform has positively impacted my organization by providing faster application development than traditional methods.
With Pega Platform, the development process becomes faster. For example, coding an application can take a couple of weeks or months but can be done in weeks using Pega Platform.
What needs improvement?
Pega Platform has a good reputation with its move into Pega GenAI, but there are times it slows down the systems when I have used the personal editions. Performance stability could be improved.
As a student using Pega Platform, I faced slower loading times on the cloud instance initially.
I have not noticed other needed improvements in Pega Platform.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for about two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In my experience, Pega Platform is stable, though it requires adaptation to improvements.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Pega Platform is capable of being widely scaled.
How are customer service and support?
I have not had much experience with customer support for Pega Platform, but I have heard positive comments about it.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not previously use a different solution before Pega Platform, but as a computer science student, I have knowledge of various traditional platforms and have learned Pega Platform due to its low-code nature.
What was our ROI?
Using Pega Platform has saved me time during development, as it takes significantly less time to create example use cases compared to other platforms.
I estimate that projects take days rather than weeks when using Pega Platform compared to traditional coding.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I have used free access for pricing and licensing, and I understand the pricing models which I find acceptable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Pega Platform, I did not evaluate other options.
What other advice do I have?
I advise others looking into using Pega Platform that it is easily understandable, especially for those not from coding backgrounds.
Pega Platform is beneficial across a wide range, serving business people, developers, and customers. I would rate this review an eight out of ten.
