Platform for documenting and modifying our processes
The tool was used for digital transformation. Our company operates in the automotive industry and needs a transition to digitalization. We utilize the BIC Platform for documenting and modifying our processes, as well as incorporating various elements such as KPIs. It serves as a fundamental tool for numerous aspects of our operations.

Global Head of Digital, Process Automation at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Pega is a low-code platform that enables organizations to build, automate, and optimize business processes and customer experiences through AI-powered decisioning and workflow automation.
Here are the key areas where Pega Platform could be improved: 1. User Interface (UI) & User Experience (UX) Customization Limitations: The UI layer is tightly coupled with the platform, limiting flexibility for custom front-end development. Constellation Architecture: While it improves consistency, it restricts advanced UI customizations compared to older section-based designs. Learning Curve: Non-technical users find the UI unintuitive despite the low-code promise. 2. Integration & Extensibility Limited Out-of-the-Box Integrations: Users report challenges integrating with non-relational databases and legacy systems. Robotics Integration: Pega RPA (formerly OpenSpan) is not seamlessly integrated with BPM, creating silos in automation. 3. AI & Decisioning AI Capabilities Need Maturity: Users expect more advanced, native AI features without relying on external tools. CDH & Decision Hub: While powerful, these components require deep expertise to configure effectively. 4. Cost & Licensing High Licensing Costs: Pega is often seen as expensive, especially for small and mid-sized enterprises. Lack of Flexible Pricing Models: Calls for subscription-based or usage-based pricing to improve accessibility. 5. Performance & Scalability Scalability Concerns: Some users report performance degradation with large user bases or complex workflows. Upgrade Complexity: Platform upgrades can be time-consuming and disruptive if not planned well. 6. Documentation & Community Support Insufficient Learning Resources: Especially for advanced features, documentation is limited and community support is not as strong as competitors. Talent Availability: Finding skilled Pega professionals remains a challenge in many regions. 7. Low-Code/No-Code Experience Not Fully No-Code: Despite branding, some tasks still require technical intervention, and the drag-and-drop interface can be restrictive 2. Conflict Management: Simultaneous development by multiple users can lead to rule conflicts.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This is low-cost and very user friendly. A variety of models are available depending on the needs of the customer."
"While this is a new product it has a mature feel from being built by a company with many years in the business."
"The product is easy to use."
"Company wide BPMS tool sustaining a long term quality management best practices to achieve the expected process maturity level but also cutting operation and maintenance costs related to the former tool in use"
"I'm in awe of what the software can do."
"The central dictionary is a valuable feature."
"The product helps you to build faster."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility, as we can configure it to best suit our requirements."
"The most important features of Pega BPM are case management and claims management, and soon they'll also be offering claims processing. I also love Pega BPM in terms of performance. It's also one of the very few user-friendly solutions in the market. It may take some time to learn Pega BPM, but once you get a proper handle on it, tracking and managing processes become very easy anytime, anywhere. Pega BPM also has very good documentation you can use to learn the solution. Pega has a community portal that has complete information and explanations, and if you're facing a challenge, you can post your challenge on the community portal and get a resolution at the same time."
"Pega's technical support team is very helpful and I would rate them ten out of ten."
"Easy to implement and it's built for change, so that any rapid changes in process can be configured easily."
"The solution provides us with a very good dashboard."
"It cuts down the time taken for coding; earlier it used to take us four hours to do a particular code, now this can be done in less than 30 minutes, and that's the kind of productivity gains you can get."
"For the case management applications, so it's really fast to develop and it can scale and be extended based upon the business requirements."
 

Cons

"The product needs improvement regarding the confidentiality of the domain information for the key administrator."
"The solution could improve its connectivity to other systems."
"One thing they could improve is the manual."
"As the product is very new, some minor features are still missing, but everything is there to handle day-to-day process modeling."
"There are just some things in the new product that are not really functional issues but improvements that BIC will have to make."
"There's an issue with the current manual that they're working on."
"I think there is room for improvement in the low code/ no code environment that they're promoting now. That needs to be aligned a little bit more. I still feel that it is not that friendly for a person who has no experience with Pega to just go in and try to create something."
"The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
"First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets."
"The initial setup takes time."
"Stability issues: Product failed to start periodically with no tolerance to database outages."
"I believe they simplify the application development. It is still complex. The learning is not easy, it takes time compared to other products on the market."
"Pricing is a little on the high side. One of the challenges where a certain lower level of cases was unable to justify the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing will differ between enterprises based on needs such as customization, but the company uses a standardized algorithm for determining this."
"Scalability-wise, it is an expensive product."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing."
"The licensing model from Pega BPM is too complex and is more expensive than other solutions, such as SAP. The overall price of the solution depends on the use case."
"The costing model for Pega BPM is different. One is a license that you can pay yearly. Another licensing model for Pega BPM is based on the number of cases you create in production in a year. Costing based on use cases is also available for Pega BPM. I don't have information on its exact pricing or costs, though."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"The solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
