Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The workflows are the most valuable features, particularly for us, because we were attempting to automate processes by utilizing workflows to provide a hands-off comparison between the bot and the human.""The most valuable feature is flexibility, as we can configure it to best suit our requirements.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process.""Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate.""Pega BPM's most valuable feature is the use of CDX to solve problems.""Pega BPM's most valuable features are case management, integration, the convenience of using REST APIs, and the ease of changing things at the UI level."

Cons
"The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother.""The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface.""The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn.""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.""Currently, there isn't any feature I want to be added in the next release of Pega BPM because Pega always adds new features that my team welcomes and looks forward to learning. One area for improvement in the solution is the long learning curve, but after that, you'll find Pega BPM easy to use.""The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother.""They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
  • "They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
  • "They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
  • "The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
  • "May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
  • "The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
  • "The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
  • "It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."

  • "The price could definitely be lower."
