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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It was easy to learn, adapt, and go through Pega BPM's low code builders."
"Although the solution might be too big for our purposes, as of now we are continuing with Pega because we don't know of any such tools which have the scalability, as well as the ease of use that this solution provides."
"The rule engines work well."
"Pega BPM is definitely one of the topmost BPM packages out there."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"The solution provides us with a very good dashboard."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"It's an end-to-end solution and a digital transformation tool."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
 

Cons

"It should have integration with non-relational databases. A lot of databases are non-relational, and as a company, we are planning to move to NoSQL or open-source databases."
"Business specific functionality is needed."
"PegaRULES need to improve its JVM. It needs to enhance the operation speed and memory size."
"Customers expect more out-of-the-box solutions."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
"The product's artificial intelligence capabilities could be improved. More advanced AI features could further optimize process automation and decision-making."
"The UI layer is a concern since it is native to them and embedded into the code."
"From a technical point of view, it would be helpful to have some advanced analytics to help with configuration. We have a lot of unwanted features and it would be good to configure it more appropriately so that we are using just exactly what we need."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
