Quality Assurance Team Lead at HCLSoftware
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.

Works as a reference for architecture but not very intuitive
We use the solution as a reference for architecture so that we can connect business data applications. The tool helps us to know how these applications should be built. We use it mainly as reference material.  I like the solution's traceability.  The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"getNext removes some of the managements overheads as well as inbuilt reporting."
"Pega Platform has improved my business process overall."
"Case Management is the most valuable feature of PegaRULES, which is not found in other BPM tools."
"It was easy to learn, adapt, and go through Pega BPM's low code builders."
"Pega BPM has features for process and operation efficiency, business security texture, various report definitions like bar chart and pie chart, and management capabilities such as dashboards."
"In certain circumstances, it can be fairly straightforward to execute and deploy new modifications."
"It's been quite good and we've been quite satisfied with it."
"What we like about Pega BPM is their case management feature which we find powerful."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"I like the solution's traceability."
 

Cons

"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
"I believe that Pega's strategy when it comes to the UX part is not that great currently as compared to the other emerging BPM tools in the market."
"The licensing cost is very high."
"First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"There are several areas for improvement with this product. The performance of the application is very slow, the UI needs improvement, and the architecture needs to be simplified."
"The training aspect of Pega BPM requires significant enhancement. There should be more opportunities for third-party training and engaging events, such as hackathons where individuals can share their expertise. Additionally, the training structure itself should be more organized, as I have received feedback from my colleagues in the COE that the current training approach is overwhelming and requires excessive referencing to obtain accurate information. Another area for improvement would be the user experience with regard to RPA. Simplifying the IDA for citizen developers would make it easier for them to adopt the RPA tool."
"Lack of stronger cloud support is somewhat inconvenient for users and implementation."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"Licensing varies across geographical regions for us."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
