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

"Pega is currently number one in BPM and case management solutions, according to Gartner and Forrester."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features, and the UI design was pretty easy, with all the features related to case management being pretty outstanding."
"The product's most valuable features include its adaptability and flexibility, attributed to its Java-based architecture."
"Pega Platform is so dynamic and can take on any business demand, challenges, and solve issues."
"Overall, there isn't a feature on the solution that isn't useful."
"While Pega technical support is okay, it also depends on the issues you need help with and who your contact is with Pega."
"In terms of functionality, Pega is probably the number one solution in this field."
"Pega is an Intelligent Automation Platform that has evolved from a BPM perspective, allowing teams using this solution to address complexities without having deep knowledge in a specific development area."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
 

Cons

"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"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."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"The solution's pricing model or licensing model could be a little better."
"If it could also be integrated with robotics, it could help with a lot of things, even if we don't have APIs, we could still talk to other applications. If it could invoke a bot, for example."
"In the Middle East and Africa region, Pega was not very strong from the user experience standpoint."
"Containerization should be improved in relation to Pega because Camunda is deployable in the containerization deployment process."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"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."
"It is cost-effective for medium enterprises. It is cheaper than ServiceNow."
"Pricing is good."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"Licensing varies across geographical regions for us."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"Pega is expensive."
