Stable platform with valuable case management capabilities
We use Everest Blueriq for a food safety organization, that revolves around automating and managing complex processes critical to ensuring food safety and compliance. It involves monitoring containers for pests and diseases before allowing entry into the EU. The platform plays a vital role in…

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 biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product's most valuable features include its adaptability and flexibility, attributed to its Java-based architecture."
"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"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."
"Fast prototyping."
"Of the business tool available on the market, as of right now, Pega is not the cheapest, but when you choose Pega, it is possible to realize a greater return on investment."
"Previously, our HR onboarding application ran in silos, so everything was happening separately, but Pega BPM allowed us to consolidate all the data in one place, from which we could define our business workflow, meaning we have the entire flow running in one application from start to end with the help of third-party application data."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its quick setup, as nowhere else can you create a good-looking application this quickly, and from an end-user perspective you can build a really good user experience with the user interface they offer."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"The initial setup is never straightforward. It's always complex."
"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."
"It should have integration with non-relational databases. A lot of databases are non-relational, and as a company, we are planning to move to NoSQL or open-source databases. It would be good if we are able to install and use Pega on a NoSQL database. They can also try to tailor or organize the company a bit differently and go more towards the microservice concept. I would like Pega to develop machine learning and intelligent AI algorithms. They have a good foundation in terms of the model and the stuff that we are using for some customers, and it will be good to onboard as many machine learning algorithms as possible."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"The licensing model of Pega BPM is tricky, especially for first-time customers, so it's something that they could improve."
"In the Middle East and Africa region, Pega was not very strong from the user experience standpoint."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"The price of PegaRULES is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"This upgrade process is very expensive; although I haven't been on the sales team responsible for the pricing, I know it costs millions of dollars."
"They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing."
"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."
