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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The solution is stable."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"Pega is the leader in business process management solutions"
"They're pretty easy to create, and they're pretty easy to deploy."
"The way it is adapting to new changes is quite useful, and the way it is changing itself to survive in the industry with other BPM tools and being competitive every time, with Pega you can deliver some things pretty quickly and deliver a prototype for what Pega calls a Minimum Viable Product or Minimum Lovable Project, MLP, very, very fast."
"This product makes it easier to connect to multiple applications because integration through API or web services is very easy."
"Pega is currently number one in BPM and case management solutions, according to Gartner and Forrester."
"The most valuable features are case management and integration services."
"This solution is one of the best tools on the market right now."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
 

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"More tutorials and examples."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"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."
"If it could also be integrated with robotics, it could help with a lot of things, even if we don't have APIs, we could still talk to other applications. If it could invoke a bot, for example."
"Containerization should be improved in relation to Pega because Camunda is deployable in the containerization deployment process."
"From a technical point of view, it would be helpful to have some advanced analytics to help with configuration. We have a lot of unwanted features and it would be good to configure it more appropriately so that we are using just exactly what we need."
"It should have integration with non-relational databases. A lot of databases are non-relational, and as a company, we are planning to move to NoSQL or open-source databases."
"The solution could be more scalable. It has some DevOps limitations."
"It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge."
"Pega BPM can improve product management, case management, omnichannel, CDH, and the customer data hub. All the major domains can improve. Additionally, more AI functionality and proper integrations with Pega RPA would be helpful."
