Has raised concerns due to outdated framework and high ownership costs
Pega Robotic Process Automation is a temporary solution to a bigger issue, and the cost of implementation especially with Pega really stops customers from proceeding. The total cost of ownership could be improved. From a technical perspective, the product performs adequately. The installation can be quite complex as it's not standalone, and customers need to get the whole Pega platform up and running. The total cost of ownership is not very attractive. RPA as a concept is outdated now, with agentic AI becoming more prominent. We don't see much interest from customers in going down the RPA route; Pega Robotic Process Automation is losing its prominence in the market.

Customization and process automation enhance support operations, but interface consistency could improve
At this time, there is not specifically something to improve regarding Service Creatio, but a couple of years ago, Creatio started developing a new version called Freedom UI with new interfaces. The new interfaces are amazing, but we still have some features in Classic UI that we cannot use in Freedom UI. What we miss is having all features in Classic available in Freedom. Creatio works every three months to release new features, but they are taking too much time to make all those features available. We could use more time. There are a lot of business rules we can use in Classic UI, but we cannot use many of those business rules in the Freedom UI because of the different interfaces. We miss several kinds of business rules or conditions that we could use in the design of the application or interfaces to the customer. For instance, I had a feature to introduce a formula graphically, but I can only use very basic formulas in the latest release. In Classic UI, we have powerful formulas, but in Freedom UI, I am limited to direct files from the current screen. The only thing I miss is having all the features from Classic UI available in Freedom UI. For instance, managing duplicated records is a feature that we can easily use in Classic UI, but in Freedom UI I cannot merge contacts to resolve duplicates, which is not available yet.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I like best in Pega Robotic Process Automation is that I'm able to add external DLL section codes. I can inject the JavaScript, and I can write VB.NET, C#.NET, and DLL codes, then inject those codes into the existing process. Mainly, from a development perspective, I like that feature a lot, so if anything is not supported by Pega Robotic Process Automation, then I can build that either in JavaScript or in .NET, then use those functions within the IP."
"The most valuable aspect for myself was access to the .net framework."
"Using the tool actually ends up teaching you about making workflows more efficient."
"The community support is awesome."
"Its stability has been good."
"The data entry and the automation of data entry are the most valuable aspects of the product, as it was very smooth and very seamless to create automations with no scope for any errors, making it really error-free and very helpful for us."
"It helped cut short the release cycle by almost 40% compared to the previous solution."
"The most valuable features are the loops to lookup tables to read the data."
"You can draw a video map or draw on a piece of paper and put it in creation using the designer tool."
"Service Creatio is a great tool in process automation."
"Our customers have seen value and efficiency using this solution."
 

Cons

"I have faced many scenarios in the business workflow, where a few applications run on the Citrix environment. That could be a critical part of the process without which business won't be able to accept the automation solution."
"There have been some scenarios where the bot was not able to replace some of the controls and could not recognize and personalize the task we wanted to automate."
"Pega Robotic Process Automation scalability is too low."
"In this modern world, in this automation space, if Pega could provide more options that are user-friendly and provide a way to quickly develop an automation solution that is drag-and-drop with a minimal coding approach, then it would be great for automation."
"You cannot use a two-dimensional array to read the data."
"Excel connectors need to be improved as there are a few connectors in Excel areas."
"The development experience needs to be improved."
"Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved​"
"The customer self-portal is not good. Service Creatio has a special capability for external customers and users to access the web portal, but we had to use third-party solutions developed by us."
"The return material authorization should utilize no-code or low-code."
"Despite me telling them that Service Creatio has many certifications to protect data, they chose on-premise, which has created issues, as they must be responsible for updates, upgrades, and new releases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of Pega Robotic Process Automation pricing, I would rate it a five out of five because the solution has a good price. Pricing is not very high, though I'm unsure of the exact cost, based on my experience, the price for Pega Robotic Process Automation is less than Blue Prism because I worked with a few clients that have both solutions and my clients prefer Pega Robotic Process Automation over Blue Prism particularly because of the licensing costs."
"Pega is as competitive as the basic players such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere. UiPath is the most expensive, but Pega is at par with Automation Anywhere."
"Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."
"​I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost​."
"The licensing cost is too high."
"Pega is pretty costly."
"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."
