A great ERP for medium and even small businesses
If one has experience in the ERP market, big brands like Microsoft require a lot of money over other platforms like Odoo. We can implement an on-premise model for some enterprise customers because it gives privacy and security. For other customers, we provide the cloud version. Currently, we recommend customers implement the ERP platform on the cloud environment because of the flexibility and scaling. I recommend that customers invest in a solution with the possibility of scaling in the future while providing many functions and features out of the box. In many ERPs we provide, although we would recommend ELMA as a default option for medium and even enterprise customers, they need bigger brands. ELMA 365 should be the second or third option for customers right now. I rate ELMA 365 a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
"The latest releases of PegaRULES are scalable, advanced, and can be easily integrated into your environment."
"The most valuable features of Pega BPM are low code, no code, functionality, and easy development."
"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."
"Allowed us to develop and quickly release with confidence using cloud technologies."
"The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment."
"It is quite configurable, which is the most exciting feature. We can easily configure it as per our needs."

Cons

"Customers want improved productivity."
"PEGA claims that they provide a LOW-CODE-PLATFORM which is easy to use - even for "citizen developers" (i.e. business employees). If you really want to use all the features out of this platform, you definitely need a lot of experience and a lot of training."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"The UI needs reworking."
"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"The UI cannot be customized in the solution"
"Lack of stronger cloud support is somewhat inconvenient for users and implementation."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
"Pega is claiming they're into low code but as per Gartner Magic Quadrant, Pega is not there now."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price of PegaRULES is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
"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."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
