Has raised concerns due to outdated framework and high ownership costs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 RPA as a concept is outdated now, with agentic AI becoming more prominent.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.
Valdi Venter - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner | Director of Operations at Expert Technology Solutions
A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty easy and quite fast."
"It was very smooth and very seamless to create automations."
"The most valuable feature of Pega Robotic Process Automation is the technique: you can create a user interface that can interact with a human being for attended robots."
"Pega Robotics offers all the required features to build end-to-end process automation like any other similar tools. It's unique development style using data line and control flow line makes it easy to debug through the flow."
"The feature I like best in Pega Robotic Process Automation is that I'm able to add external DLL section codes, inject JavaScript, and write VB.NET, C#.NET, and DLL codes, then inject those codes into the existing process, so if anything is not supported by Pega Robotic Process Automation, I can build that either in JavaScript or in .NET, then use those functions within the IP."
"​It is a good and matured solution."
"The good thing about Pega is that it is very flexible and you can do a lot so the capabilities are broad."
"They are leaders in the same industry."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."
 

Cons

"Pega has a no-code low-code environment. We do everything based on established rules. You kind-of have to learn how all their rules work and how it works for robotics before you can use the solution effectively."
"The handwritten structured and semi-structured data recognition accuracy is much lower and is an area that definitely needs to improve."
"I would like to see an enhanced auditing feature included."
"The orchestration needs to be better."
"It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved."
"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."
"I would like to improve the tool's integration features and stability."
"Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved​"
"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost​."
"Pega is pretty costly."
"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."
"The licensing cost is too high."
"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
