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.

Works as a reference for architecture but not very intuitive
We use the solution as a reference for architecture so that we can connect business data applications. The tool helps us to know how these applications should be built. We use it mainly as reference material.  I like the solution's traceability.  The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is its architecture."
"Pricing is a little on the high side."
"In certain circumstances, it can be fairly straightforward to execute and deploy new modifications."
"The most valuable feature of the product is that it's very customer-centric. It's easy to use for a customer or a user. It's also easy for someone who is developing an application. You can develop different features in just one place. You don't have to go to different places."
"Pega Platform has improved my business process overall."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"The flexibility of the Pega Platform in allowing use of different UI architectures, such as React and Angular, is also appreciated."
"The technical support of Pega BPM is very good."
"It is stable and easy to use."
"Enterprise architecture and a positive sense of understanding soon reached everyone."
"I like the solution's traceability."
 

Cons

"Business specific functionality is needed."
"UI needs improvement."
"We are changing systems because we are trying to bring total service delivery into a common platform, and Pega is not able to handle the requirements."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"This is a quite expensive product."
"I've spent some hands-on time with the platform, and you can do those things, and it is all low code, but is it as easy as they make it sound? No."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
"I was not so satisfied with arrows in this program."
"In the previous version, the web interface was unstable."
"The solution is not easy and intuitive to use. I would also like the software to have a reference metamodel that can guide the modeling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model from Pega BPM is too complex and is more expensive than other solutions, such as SAP. The overall price of the solution depends on the use case."
"This upgrade process is very expensive; although I haven't been on the sales team responsible for the pricing, I know it costs millions of dollars."
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"The price of PegaRULES is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
"The solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
"In terms of the pricing for Pega BPM, other solutions may be cheaper, but it doesn't matter if Pega BPM has a higher price tag because what's important is that it's the best solution, and that is what people look for. If I would rate the pricing for the solution, I'd give it three out of five. You have to pay extra for additional features in Pega BPM."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten since it's pretty expensive."
