Pega Customer Service is an AI-powered, case-centric platform that unifies channels, automates service workflows, and empowers agents to deliver fast, personalized, and consistent customer experiences
1. User Interface Flexibility The Constellation UI architecture, while modern and consistent, limits deep customization. Users want more control over layout, branding, and dynamic UI behavior. 2. Integration Complexity Integrating with non-Pega systems (e.g., legacy CRMs, third-party APIs) can require significant effort and custom development. More plug-and-play connectors would ease adoption. 3. Learning Curve for Configuration Despite being low-code, configuring complex service flows, case types, and AI rules can be challenging for new users. Enhanced guided wizards and templates could simplify setup. 4. AI and NLP Capabilities While Pega offers AI-driven Next-Best-Action, its natural language processing (NLP) for chatbots and sentiment analysis is not as advanced as some competitors. 5. Reporting and Analytics Out-of-the-box dashboards are useful but lack deep customization. 6. Mobile Experience The mobile agent experience is functional but less optimized compared to desktop. Improvements in offline capabilities and responsive design are often requested. 7. Licensing and Cost Transparency Some customers find the pricing model complex, especially when scaling across departments or adding AI features. More modular and transparent pricing would help with budgeting and ROI planning.
Valdi Venter - PeerSpot reviewer
A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.
