Granular api security has freed team resources and reduced effort but detection accuracy needs work
The feature that stands out to me the most about Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF is the API protection, as many managed WAF rule sets are originally designed around traditional websites, but Cloudbric integrates a dedicated API protection module aimed at REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, XML validation, and API-specific attacks. My experience with the API protection module is positive, as I had one implementation for a mobile backend and some FinTech APIs where Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF really worked wonders for that setup, requiring minimal modifications or tweaking. Another thing I appreciate about Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF is that it does not force me into a monolithic package, allowing for selective deployments where I can choose specific protections such as only malicious IP, thus providing flexibility to control costs and capacity consumption. Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF has positively impacted my organization by freeing up human resources that would otherwise be dedicated to creating and managing WAF rules, helping me reduce costs as I can streamline WAF rules for some applications and deploy protection in less than an hour instead of days or weeks.

Process automation has improved case handling and now saves half of our daily manual work
Pega Platform has improved my business process overall. The manager confirmed that manual statuses are automated and manual evaluations are automated. For eight hours of work, it automates four hours of work. Pega Platform has features for operational efficiency that are significant. It provides a business security texture app, which is a valuable feature, and it also offers report definitions such as bar charts, pie charts, and operational help. In terms of management capabilities, Pega Platform provides dashboards and tools that help with management and categories. Pega Platform has good integration features, as integration can be done in many ways, and even for legacy systems, it is a strong feature. I did not encounter any problems with legacy systems. Pega Platform has good scalability. It is not difficult to scale up or down if there is a need.

Pros

"Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF has positively impacted my organization by improving both security and efficiency when deploying these services without having to manage or create those WAF rules myself."
"Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF has positively impacted my organization by freeing up human resources that would otherwise be dedicated to creating and managing WAF rules, helping me reduce costs as I can streamline WAF rules for some applications and deploy protection in less than an hour instead of days or weeks."
"Case Management is the most valuable feature of PegaRULES, which is not found in other BPM tools."
"When our clients automate the KYC and onboarding processes, they can reduce their manual force and then deploy them in much better tasks rather than the mundane activities of selecting forms and gathering information."
"The feature that I find most valuable in Pega Platform is the focus on customer experience, which is evident and supports initiatives that improve the user journey."
"Pega Platform is so dynamic and can take on any business demand, challenges, and solve issues."
"Of the business tool available on the market, as of right now, Pega is not the cheapest, but when you choose Pega, it is possible to realize a greater return on investment."
"It is quite configurable, which is the most exciting feature, and we can easily configure it as per our needs."
"The ability to define processes, build reports, and get insights or analytics on data is most valuable. It is a powerful platform."
"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."
 

Cons

"I find that the only drawbacks with Cloudbric Managed Rules for AWS WAF are its less market penetration, especially in North America and Europe, resulting in fewer community reviews, published case studies, and a small ecosystem of users, along with less third-party validation and occasional false positives triggered by API payload or JSON bodies."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"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."
"There are some UX shortcomings within the solution. However, it's my understanding that they have addressed them and in the next three months they will come out with a new updated version. They will be moving away from HTML5."
"We have experienced a few technical challenges, particularly triggering the workflow through file drops and accessing files."
"PegaRULES should provide a more drag-and-drop interface to make it a low-code, no-code product."
"Reporting is not so clear and not so great. We really struggle to get the right reporting. When we need reporting based on the content of the tickets, we are not able to get it. The MIS reporting is not great. That's one of the reasons why we are switching to ServiceNow. Its compatibility with the higher versions of Internet Explorer should be improved. It really works well in Mozilla Firefox or any other browser, but when it comes to Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, sometimes, the layout gets disturbed. The positioning of the buttons changes, and there is some distortion in the layout. I am not sure whether it is our configuration problem or Pega's, but when it is working in Mozilla Firefox, it should also work in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer."
"User interface needs improvement."
"The solution needs to invest more in its technology. For public and private clouds, for example, the development environment is slow. Saving events should take one to two seconds, max, and because you are making changes often, the slowness cuts down on productivity because we have to wait for things to save before continuing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 price is a bit expensive."
"This upgrade process is very expensive; although I haven't been on the sales team responsible for the pricing, I know it costs millions of dollars."
"In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features."
"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."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
