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.

Integrates well and helpful support
Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company. We use the data that other tools provide in our implementation. We have developed several processes here in the company, such as requests for change, request development, and buying processes. The tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, the administrator can move the process one step to another without needing to be implemented in the logic of the automation, this can be done from the administration console Or with the integration EIK, there is a wide number of options for the administrator who gives you great flexibility in your administration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process."
"Using Pega Platform has saved me time during development, as it takes significantly less time to create example use cases compared to other platforms."
"PegaRules is a very powerful rule engine."
"It cuts down the time taken for coding; earlier it used to take us four hours to do a particular code, now this can be done in less than 30 minutes, and that's the kind of productivity gains you can get."
"In general, we use web services to integrate this solution with our other tools. It is the main approach we use with this solution and it integrates with all tools that we need. If you want to integrate with other solutions such ThreatFire or similar, it is possible as well."
"The stability has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"This solution is one of the best tools on the market right now."
"Pega is the leader in business process management solutions"
"Ultimus Adaptive Business Process Management has good integration with all the other tools we have been using in our company, and the tool allows you to modify the business rules without the need to modify the source code, giving great flexibility in administration."
"Development is easy on the Ultimus platform."
 

Cons

"Business specific functionality is needed."
"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."
"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."
"There are some UX shortcomings within the solution."
"I believe they simplify the application development. It is still complex. The learning is not easy, it takes time compared to other products on the market."
"Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees."
"It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge."
"The initial setup can take a while. You need to have the right people in place to handle it effectively."
"We are looking for a feature that can resign and move the process from one step to another step."
"The tool does not save the reprocessing of the steps, this has to be done with own implementations, stores the whole story of a process instance but in a non-processable format for statistics without doing prior job."
"Ultimus is not good at handling cash transactions. They should add a mobile application in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price of Pega BPM falls on the higher side of the spectrum if I were to compare it with other solutions in the market."
"Pega is expensive."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"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."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"Ultimus could stand to lower the price. Other tools are cheaper."
