Stable platform with valuable case management capabilities
We use Everest Blueriq for a food safety organization, that revolves around automating and managing complex processes critical to ensuring food safety and compliance. It involves monitoring containers for pests and diseases before allowing entry into the EU. The platform plays a vital role in…
Mallik-Kesavaraju - PeerSpot reviewer
Significantly improves the overall cycle time, and offers robotic automation, and the BPM workflow
The extensive availability of ready-made gadgets in Pega BPM is a double-edged sword. While it offers convenience, it also leads to a steeper learning curve. Our developers and business analysts need to invest significant time and effort to fully understand and utilize the platform's capabilities. In essence, it's a complex product that demands a deep understanding to be used effectively. So, it cuts both ways. This complexity can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the user's expertise. So, the learning curve is pretty high! So, it's very good if you are a professional user, but you need to be a really good professional user to use this solution effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The stability has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"While there may be stability issues, they are minimal."
"The new PEGA underwriting platform replaced the former underwriting system and helped to integrate other legacy systems and functionalities in one application. It also helped to save licence costs for other legacy systems."
"Pega BPM's most valuable feature is the use of CDX to solve problems."
"There are a lot of frameworks in the product. I use Pega PRPC the most."
"They're pretty easy to create, and they're pretty easy to deploy."
"We find the product to be scalable."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"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."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"The UI layer is a concern since it is native to them and embedded into the code."
"We would like to have a better ability to customize PegaRULES."
"Implementation is a challenge due to the handling of the code"
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
"An area for improvement in Pega BPM is security. It's secure, but it still has a lot of vulnerabilities. Pega BPM is robust, but it still needs some improvement performance-wise."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"Its pricing is on the higher side, but they have come up with different plans and different small products that can be used by smaller organizations that don't have that much money to spend. They have different pricing packages depending on the number of users or depending upon the number of cases created in the production or live environment."
"Pricing is good."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
