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.

Integrates well and helpful support
Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation. We have developed several processes here in the company, such as requests for change, request development, and buying processes. The tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, the administrator can move the process one step to another without needing to be implemented in the logic of the automation, this can be done from the administration console Or with the integration EIK, there is a wide number of options for the administrator who gives you great flexibility in your administration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"For the case management applications, so it's really fast to develop and it can scale and be extended based upon the business requirements."
"Using Pega Platform has saved me time during development, as it takes significantly less time to create example use cases compared to other platforms."
"Offers a unique environment where its entire architecture is very unified"
"The processes are much faster now in Pega BPM, in particular, almost ten times faster."
"In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The tool reduces our costs."
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company, and the tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, giving great flexibility in administration."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
 

Cons

"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."
"If it's not implemented by knowledgeable resources it's going to be a disaster."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
"We would like to have a better ability to customize PegaRULES."
"They are currently spending some time on improving the product with respect to machine learning, especially related to robotic automation. They probably could be a little more adept on that area would help."
"Currently, there isn't any feature I want to be added in the next release of Pega BPM because Pega always adds new features that my team welcomes and looks forward to learning. One area for improvement in the solution is the long learning curve, but after that, you'll find Pega BPM easy to use."
"Stability issues: Product failed to start periodically with no tolerance to database outages."
"The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
"The tool does not save the reprocessing of the steps, this has to be done with own implementations, stores the whole story of a process instance but in a non-processable format for statistics without doing prior job."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"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."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"The costing model for Pega BPM is different. One is a license that you can pay yearly. Another licensing model for Pega BPM is based on the number of cases you create in production in a year. Costing based on use cases is also available for Pega BPM. I don't have information on its exact pricing or costs, though."
"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 solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
