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…
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.

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 solution has very helpful technical support."
"We can use the rules as per the class."
"It cuts down the time taken for coding. Earlier it used take for us four hours to do a particular code. Now this can be done in less than 30 minutes. That's the kind of productivity gains you can get."
"The flexibility of the Pega Platform in allowing use of different UI architectures, such as React and Angular, is also appreciated."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment."
"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."
"There is a feature to accelerate the development so that business analysts can directly create their user stories and assign the task to the developers."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"The technical support is very low, rated at a one or two out of ten."
"Pega is claiming they're into low code but as per Gartner Magic Quadrant, Pega is not there now."
"In the next release of Pega BPM, they should add more ways to do the customer interaction fields in the portals."
"There are some UX shortcomings within the solution. However, it's my understanding that they have addressed them and in the next three months they will come out with a new updated version. They will be moving away from HTML5."
"They need to support the solution better, at this time the company does not have enough support."
"The local development approach is good in Pega, however, cost-wise, it's getting expensive. That needs to be addressed."
"There is a lack of support and community presence in the country, leading to challenges in finding developers."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"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."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
