A reasonably stable BPM solution useful for process governance and process mining
The solution, iGrafx, is used in my company globally as a BPM solution. I use iGrafx since I am involved in process or service modeling for my company. My company uses iGrafx for web modeling and iGrafx FlowCharter's desktop version, apart from the solution's other functionalities, like iGrafx…

Provides built-in frameworks that can be reused and reduces time and cost
The frameworks are built over the core Pega platform. All the codes are already built. A user can directly use the framework according to their needs. All the corresponding data models and processes already built in the framework can be reused with our custom layer. The tool reduces our costs. It is faster to implement. The solution has everything. It is model-driven. It generates its own code. It has a rules engine. Previously, Pega had its own UI. Now, we have Constellation DX API. It helps us have any user interface we need, like Angular or React. API helps create work objects in the workflow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Finding the right symbol and creating links, horizontal and vertical are the features I use."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of it."
"It has simplified compliance with regulations and company standards."
"One of the biggest plus points of the product stems from the fact that I have never seen any glitches in it."
"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."
"We found the technical support to be helpful."
"iGrafx gives you the capability of documenting your process and then the ability to use it as a tool for analysis to identify the loopholes and shortcomings of your process."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"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."
"Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support"
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is step-by-step voice guidance that converts your problem statement into different diagrams and then implements the process."
"It's a good tool for workflow automation."
"What I found most valuable in PegaRULES is that it allows you to quickly make changes to an existing application. It's pretty easy to do any modification in the tool, which you cannot do in legacy solutions. For example, it takes a lot of time to do it in Java or in .NET. I have worked with both legacy technologies in the past, so that I can tell the difference."
"The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features."
 

Cons

"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"It would be nice to have a Spanish user interface available to us."
"If customers want to change the color or the logo, they have to go through every page to verify everything is right."
"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."
"It can be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution could benefit from improvements to its interface. More specifically, when compared to other tools, the process modeling features lack symbols or object types that are used to represent the information or data within the process."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"The UI layer is a concern since it is native to them and embedded into the code."
"The product's artificial intelligence capabilities could be improved. More advanced AI features could further optimize process automation and decision-making."
"Customers expect more out-of-box solutions to be readily available"
"I believe that Pega's strategy when it comes to the UX part is not that great currently as compared to the other emerging BPM tools in the market."
"We would like to have a better ability to customize PegaRULES."
"PegaRULES need to improve its JVM. It needs to enhance the operation speed and memory size."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"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 product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"Its pricing is on the higher side, but they have come up with different plans and different small products that can be used by smaller organizations that don't have that much money to spend. They have different pricing packages depending on the number of users or depending upon the number of cases created in the production or live environment."
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Pega is expensive."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
