Provides efficient process management features, but it needs more integration capabilities
We use AgilePoint for an idea submission application for our business processes. It allows managers to review and update the approved idea on the dashboard AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management. We can integrate it with many applications including Microsoft, UiPath, and other…
Shibankur Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
It lets you do any modifications easily compared to legacy solutions as it's a low-code, no-code tool
What PegaRULES should work on is the integration aspect. I can integrate it with other platforms, but that can take time. It would be good if integration could be automated or if the tool had more out-of-the-box integration features. Apart from that, I can do most of the integrations with other platforms in PegaRULES. Still, from a development perspective, as a software developer, I would like to see an easier way to implement integrations where I can click a few screens or do less coding for integration. Still, if I have to do any integration, it would be possible in PegaRULES, but it would take two to three hours to complete. I want a more straightforward integration process in the tool because compared to Microsoft Power Platform, another low-code, no-code tool, Microsoft Power Platform is relatively straightforward to integrate with Twitter. You can quickly get the feeds from Twitter. Microsoft Power Platform has an out-of-the-box integration setup with Twitter. Based on this example, PegaRULES could have a more straightforward integration piece. If the tool had more default integration pieces or out-of-the-box integrations with other platforms by default, that would help a lot. For example, Twitter integration, ChatGPT integration, etc., especially because ChatGPT is becoming popular. Otherwise, I'll have to write some custom code and then create the connectors and the HTTP connectors and connect the connectors to the system manually, which takes time. I want default integrations that I can plug and play to make integrations in PegaRULES easier. Integration with the latest AI is a feature I want to see in PegaRULES. For example, an out-of-the-box integration with ChatGPT because I'm working on an integration piece for one of my own POCs, but I need custom coding to build that feature. I need a feature that lets you click a button to integrate PegaRULES with multiple platforms to make the integration process very easy. Less custom coding when it comes to integration is also what I want to see in the tool, though that impacts developers like me rather than the customer experience because it's more the backend.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"I like the design and the integration capacity. It's also easy to use."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"What I found most valuable in PegaRULES is that it allows you to quickly make changes to an existing application. It's pretty easy to do any modification in the tool, which you cannot do in legacy solutions. For example, it takes a lot of time to do it in Java or in .NET. I have worked with both legacy technologies in the past, so that I can tell the difference."
"Pega's technical support team is very helpful and I would rate them ten out of ten."
"The product's most valuable features include its adaptability and flexibility, attributed to its Java-based architecture."
"When our clients automate the KYC and onboarding processes, they can reduce their manual force and then deploy them in much better tasks rather than the mundane activities of selecting forms and gathering information."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPMI would be the academy courses, specifically the Product Development Network (PDN). Additionally, our organization has a dedicated Customer Engagement Team that we work closely with to achieve our goals."
"The best part of Pega, for me, is that they let you reuse a lot of the aspects in the product."
"The most valuable features of the solution are case management, routing, and low-code environment."
 

Cons

"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"This is an expensive solution."
"What PegaRULES should work on is the integration aspect. I can integrate it with other platforms, but that can take time. It would be good if integration could be automated or if the tool had more out-of-the-box integration features."
"I would like to see Pega BPM improve the user experience."
"Its implementation in the public sector was a bit complex."
"Pega Cloud early adoption and use for cross enterprise capability was new to many. The early adoption meant version 2.0 of their cloud service may require refactoring and redesign of some services."
"We have experienced a few technical challenges, particularly triggering the workflow through file drops and accessing files."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"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."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"The price is a bit expensive."
