Practice Director at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
A solution offering good automation capabilities while needing to improve its support and documentation
I think the solution's support could do a better job. I rate the support somewhere around four and five out of ten. There is a hoard of people that they get in touch with while contacting them. So we've done some work with them in the past. I mean, we've been a support partner for a while. But apart from that, in terms of understanding the issues for a particular technology, I think there is a lack of people at their end. So they don't really have many people with them. And by the time we could get hold of the right person, especially for production issues, it's a little too late.

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.

"Pega Platform is so dynamic and can take on any business demand, challenges, and solve issues."
"Pega has got very good features and tools, and generally, whatever a customer demands, we are able to meet that demand."

Cons

"There are shortcomings in the solution's support and documentation part."
"The user interface could be better in OpenText MBPM."
"The UI needs reworking."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"Implementation is a challenge due to the handling of the code"
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"In terms of improvement, we would see a benefit in Pega having better availability on the cloud side."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license to use OpenText MBPM."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cost-efficient, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing somewhere between nine and ten since it is a costly solution."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"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."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"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."
"The price of Pega BPM falls on the higher side of the spectrum if I were to compare it with other solutions in the market."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"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."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
