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.

"While there may be stability issues, they are minimal."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The technical support from Pega is very low, rating a one or two out of ten."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features. Also, the UI design was pretty easy."
"It's not too expensive."
"The solution offers excellent workflows."
 

Cons

"They should add more information about functionality."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"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."
"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"Pega currently is trying to add chatbots to their systems, and it's still quite immature. This part definitely needs to be improved."
"Customers expect more out-of-the-box solutions."
"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."
"We have experienced a few technical challenges, particularly triggering the workflow through file drops and accessing files."
"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."
"An area for improvement in Pega BPM is security. It's secure, but it still has a lot of vulnerabilities. Pega BPM is robust, but it still needs some improvement performance-wise."
"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."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the price is reasonable."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"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."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"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."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
"Pricing is good."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"It is cost-effective for medium enterprises. It is cheaper than ServiceNow."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"The costing model for Pega BPM is different. One is a license that you can pay yearly. Another licensing model for Pega BPM is based on the number of cases you create in production in a year. Costing based on use cases is also available for Pega BPM. I don't have information on its exact pricing or costs, though."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
