Srinivas Ganisetti - PeerSpot reviewer
Case management feature is valuable but the pricing is expensive
I would like to suggest the solution but it really depends on your specific requirements, your business use cases and future plans. There is a significant investment involved in this solution and therefore it is very crucial to reevaluate your future necessity including automation potential and modernization plans. I would suggest that you select any kind of solution and explore alternatives of similar functionalities at a lower cost. This might help you to achieve more with less. In my experience, I would rate it between seven to eight because it offers robust capabilities. But please be aware that other BPM tools are emerging with similar features at a lower cost. Pega CRM is perceived as bulk care compared to order tools, as many of its capabilities are potentially underutilized. I would rate it 7 out of 10.
AkinolaOni - PeerSpot reviewer
A CRM with strong reporting features that we use across several departments at my organization
We used to face downtime, in which some of our other platforms had issues synchronizing with Sage. I don't know whether it's an API or design issue somewhere, but there are these interfacing issues where systems sometimes don't talk to each other. Other than that, I would like Sage to improve their UI.
