Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy.""AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management.""AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth.""I like the design and the integration capacity.

More AgilePoint Pros →

"While Pega technical support is okay, it also depends on the issues you need help with and who your contact is with Pega.""Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support""This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process.""The most valuable features are case management and integration services.""The best part of Pega, for me, is that they let you reuse a lot of the aspects in the product.""In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well.""Pega BPM's most valuable features are case management, integration, the convenience of using REST APIs, and the ease of changing things at the UI level.""There is a feature to accelerate the development so that business analysts can directly create their user stories and assign the task to the developers."

More Pega BPM Pros →

Cons
"They should add more information about functionality.""While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta.""Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes.""The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier.""It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."

More AgilePoint Cons →

"The solution could be more scalable.""The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother.""We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies.""There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before.""Pega Cloud early adoption and use for cross enterprise capability was new to many. The early adoption meant version 2.0 of their cloud service may require refactoring and redesign of some services.""There have been some performance scalability issues. Suppose you want to add more users. You go from, say, 800 users to 1,500 users, and sometimes that creates issues for which there is no clear explanation. To fix it you have to escalate it with customer service and sometimes the response is not up to the mark in resolving those issues.""First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets.""The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
  • "I think the price is reasonable."
  • "Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
  • "It is more cost-effective than local tools."
  • More AgilePoint Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
  • "They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
  • "They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
  • "The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
  • "May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
  • "The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
  • "The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
  • "It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
