If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right. We have a strategic approach for the customer. I was involved in almost 100 sessions where the customers were looking for a one-time process visualization or one-time process mining, not for a long-term association with this tool. The customer's requirements are more tactical than strategic. We had some challenges during this time frame as I was with iGrafx, and electricity costs rose in Germany. One customer stopped a large deal because they had to reduce every non-invested investment due to the electricity bill rising by 500% to 800%.

Global Head of Digital, Process Automation at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Pega is a low-code platform that enables organizations to build, automate, and optimize business processes and customer experiences through AI-powered decisioning and workflow automation.
Here are the key areas where Pega Platform could be improved: 1. User Interface (UI) & User Experience (UX) Customization Limitations: The UI layer is tightly coupled with the platform, limiting flexibility for custom front-end development. Constellation Architecture: While it improves consistency, it restricts advanced UI customizations compared to older section-based designs. Learning Curve: Non-technical users find the UI unintuitive despite the low-code promise. 2. Integration & Extensibility Limited Out-of-the-Box Integrations: Users report challenges integrating with non-relational databases and legacy systems. Robotics Integration: Pega RPA (formerly OpenSpan) is not seamlessly integrated with BPM, creating silos in automation. 3. AI & Decisioning AI Capabilities Need Maturity: Users expect more advanced, native AI features without relying on external tools. CDH & Decision Hub: While powerful, these components require deep expertise to configure effectively. 4. Cost & Licensing High Licensing Costs: Pega is often seen as expensive, especially for small and mid-sized enterprises. Lack of Flexible Pricing Models: Calls for subscription-based or usage-based pricing to improve accessibility. 5. Performance & Scalability Scalability Concerns: Some users report performance degradation with large user bases or complex workflows. Upgrade Complexity: Platform upgrades can be time-consuming and disruptive if not planned well. 6. Documentation & Community Support Insufficient Learning Resources: Especially for advanced features, documentation is limited and community support is not as strong as competitors. Talent Availability: Finding skilled Pega professionals remains a challenge in many regions. 7. Low-Code/No-Code Experience Not Fully No-Code: Despite branding, some tasks still require technical intervention, and the drag-and-drop interface can be restrictive 2. Conflict Management: Simultaneous development by multiple users can lead to rule conflicts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Another good feature is that the numbering of the shapes in iGrafx is much easier and more convenient, in comparison to what is found in Visio. So far I haven't found anything similar to what I have with iGrafx, in that regard."
"The solution is very stable."
"The IDEF0 add-on solution truly integrates all the process maps through intelligent arrow name management."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"iGrafx is the most comprehensive way to have all the cross-feeds and the documents related to workflows, like cross-notes."
"Overall, the solution is very useful and has good features."
"One of the biggest plus points of the product stems from the fact that I have never seen any glitches in it."
"They're pretty easy to create, and they're pretty easy to deploy."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
"Whenever a customer needs to do something, the way Pega designs the whole thing into an easy number of steps makes the flow from the actual intent to the actual final results pretty fast."
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"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."
"Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support"
"It's a good tool for workflow automation."
"Pega BPM can be deployed on-premise and in the cloud, and all the scalability issues are addressed with Pega BPM because you can create enterprise-grade solutions with the architecture it has."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see more layers like three, four, and five. It might be possible but I haven't seen it yet."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a reseller in Mexico."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"Dragging and dropping shapes is not as user-friendly as in Visio. In Visio, it's very easy to work with shapes and in very few minutes you can plot a whole, multi swim-lane, cross-functional process."
"There are a few areas iGrafx which could improve, probably the biggest area would be to support iOS as well as PC, so clients don’t have to emulate PC on an iOS platform."
"It would be helpful to be able to do more analytics and generate reports on historical documents that have already been uploaded to the server."
"If the price of the solution was more competitive, it would have made things easier for our company to extend the usage."
"Pega BPM could improve the UI, it is poorly designed to have a good UX experience."
"We would like to have a better ability to customize PegaRULES."
"The workflow automation can be slow, so there is room for improvement there."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"If it's not implemented by knowledgeable resources it's going to be a disaster."
"The quality of partners available with Pega specialisation can be improved."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"There have been some performance scalability issues; suppose you want to add more users, you go from 800 users to 1,500 users, and sometimes that creates issues for which there is no clear explanation, and to fix it you have to escalate it with customer service and sometimes the response is not up to the mark in resolving those issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Earlier, the licensing part was complex because there were so many modules and elements in the tool. Over the last one and a half years, a lot of work has gone into how the product has priced and positioned its tools in the market."
"Our license is a subscription-based model that is per user. The solution is not expensive, I believe a subscription-based model is $10 per user."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The price of PegaRULES is more expensive than other solutions on the market."
"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."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis. Because of our special relationship, all the training certifications are free of cost. All our employees can do Pega certifications at zero cost. It is all on Pega."
"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."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"Licensing varies across geographical regions for us."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
