Cons
"Its implementation in the public sector was a bit complex.""First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets.""The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface.""Pega BPM could improve the UI, it is poorly designed to have a good UX experience.""The cost of licensing could be improved.""The solution could be more scalable.""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.""It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."

More Pega BPM Cons →

"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts.""Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy.""Lacks sufficient inbuilt features.""The one thing I would like to see more of right now: is a simplified form creation. That would be the most significant improvement I would like to see in their product.""Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture.""There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing.""It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution.""It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."

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."
  • More Pega BPM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
  • "It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
  • "Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
  • "It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
  • "The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
