Mallik-Kesavaraju - PeerSpot reviewer
Significantly improves the overall cycle time, and offers robotic automation, and the BPM workflow
The extensive availability of ready-made gadgets in Pega BPM is a double-edged sword. While it offers convenience, it also leads to a steeper learning curve. Our developers and business analysts need to invest significant time and effort to fully understand and utilize the platform's capabilities. In essence, it's a complex product that demands a deep understanding to be used effectively. So, it cuts both ways. This complexity can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the user's expertise. So, the learning curve is pretty high! So, it's very good if you are a professional user, but you need to be a really good professional user to use this solution effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features."
"There is a feature to accelerate the development so that business analysts can directly create their user stories and assign the task to the developers."
"Pega BPM's most valuable feature is the use of CDX to solve problems."
"The product's most valuable features include its adaptability and flexibility, attributed to its Java-based architecture."
"Pega's technical support team is very helpful and I would rate them ten out of ten."

"Case Management, as well as Workflow Automation, are Pega's most powerful capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of SoftExpert BPM is its ease of use."
"A complete project management suite in one integrated package."
 

Cons

"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."
"User interface needs improvement."
"We would like to have a better ability to customize PegaRULES."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The usability of the solution for developers is sometimes difficult to work with because instead of fixing the existing bugs in the previous version, there is always a rush to push out a new version leaving the bugs in the old versions unresolved."
"In the Middle East and Africa region, Pega was not very strong from the user experience standpoint."
"Pega Cloud early adoption and use for cross enterprise capability was new to many. The early adoption meant version 2.0 of their cloud service may require refactoring and redesign of some services."
"I believe they simplify the application development. It is still complex. The learning is not easy, it takes time compared to other products on the market."
"The form in SoftExpert BPM should improve."
"It could do more to use all the data it collects to intelligently manage the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of the pricing for Pega BPM, other solutions may be cheaper, but it doesn't matter if Pega BPM has a higher price tag because what's important is that it's the best solution, and that is what people look for. If I would rate the pricing for the solution, I'd give it three out of five. You have to pay extra for additional features in Pega BPM."
"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"Pricing is good."
"The price of PegaRULES is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
"The solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
"Its pricing is on the higher side, but they have come up with different plans and different small products that can be used by smaller organizations that don't have that much money to spend. They have different pricing packages depending on the number of users or depending upon the number of cases created in the production or live environment."
"In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features."
"The price of SoftExpert BPM is not expensive."
