Stable platform with valuable case management capabilities
We use Everest Blueriq for a food safety organization, that revolves around automating and managing complex processes critical to ensuring food safety and compliance. It involves monitoring containers for pests and diseases before allowing entry into the EU. The platform plays a vital role in…
Mallik-Kesavaraju - PeerSpot reviewer
Significantly improves the overall cycle time, and offers robotic automation, and the BPM workflow
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. Our developers and business analysts need to invest significant time and effort to fully understand and utilize the platform's capabilities. In essence, it's a complex product that demands a deep understanding to be used effectively. So, it cuts both ways. This complexity can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the user's expertise. So, the learning curve is pretty high! So, it's very good if you are a professional user, but you need to be a really good professional user to use this solution effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"The case management is great."
"Pricing is a little on the high side."
"It allows for a unified platform with features like case management, BPM, service orchestration, low-code development, digital process automation, CRM, and decision-making, all integrated into a single platform."
"Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support"
"The solution provides us with a very good dashboard."
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"In certain circumstances, it can be fairly straightforward to execute and deploy new modifications."
"Fast prototyping."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"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."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"In the next release of Pega BPM, they should add more ways to do the customer interaction fields in the portals."
"Implementation is a challenge due to the handling of the code"
"The quality of partners available with Pega specialisation can be improved."
"UI needs improvement."
"There is room for potential improvement in the performance of PegaRULES, as well as the need to address any existing security concerns. It should be noted that working with an older version of Pega, rather than the latest 8.x versions, may limit certain capabilities and leave room for vulnerabilities that could benefit from increased attention. Furthermore, the user interface (UI) could be a candidate for enhancements. It is worth mentioning that newer versions of Pega may have introduced improvements in these areas."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. Because of our special relationship, all the training certifications are free of cost. All our employees can do Pega certifications at zero cost. It is all on Pega."
"They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
