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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable features include its adaptability and flexibility, attributed to its Java-based architecture."
"Pricing is a little on the high side."
"For the case management applications, so it's really fast to develop and it can scale and be extended based upon the business requirements."
"Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable."
"The solution provides us with a very good dashboard."
"In certain circumstances, it can be fairly straightforward to execute and deploy new modifications."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is its architecture."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
 

Cons

"In the next release of Pega BPM, they should add more ways to do the customer interaction fields in the portals."
"The solution's pricing model or licensing model could be a little better."
"Implementation is a challenge due to the handling of the code"
"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."
"This is a quite expensive product."
"The UI needs reworking."
"The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn."
"They are currently spending some time on improving the product with respect to machine learning, especially related to robotic automation. They probably could be a little more adept on that area would help."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
"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."
"It is cost-effective for medium enterprises. It is cheaper than ServiceNow."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"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 am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
