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

"The solution is very stable."
"This product fulfills ninety percent of our needs, and we're happy as users of 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."
"The solution's most beneficial feature is the 360 approach, where documentation, process mining, simulation, and automation capabilities are in one solution."
"Web diagramming and RACI have helped expedite the process, capture, and ownership initiatives of our organization."
"It is very easy to use for describing processes and is very useful in the simulation of the process putting parameters and the metrics process."
"Provides a valuable BPMN feature."
"Simulation is most valuable."
"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."
"This is a customizable product."
"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."
"PegaRules is a very powerful rule engine."
"It cuts down the time taken for coding; earlier it used to take us four hours to do a particular code, now this can be done in less than 30 minutes, and that's the kind of productivity gains you can get."
"Pega BPM has a full suite for any enterprise; it is a process orchestration platform with detailed features for case management and workflows, very strong customer service across multiple channels, and a really powerful UI, providing a single platform for customer service automation for any enterprise."
"Decreased time for plane departures and landing, supported analytical insight for planning of three to six month forecasting, and helped with operational decision planning and support."
"It's a good tool for workflow automation."
 

Cons

"I used the single license product. The entire suite can manage complex organizations, linking it with ERP, but it is not so easy to link it to a new ERP."
"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."
"Visio is more user-friendly."
"I would love to see a template and shapes for customer journey mapping."
"With iGrafx, the implementation and the licensing were pretty complex."
"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."
"If the price of the solution was more competitive, it would have made things easier for our company to extend the usage."
"One of the areas in the product with certain shortcomings where improvements are required includes the tool's reporting capabilities."
"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
"The quality of partners available with Pega specialisation can be improved."
"The solution needs to invest more in its technology. For public and private clouds, for example, the development environment is slow. Saving events should take one to two seconds, max, and because you are making changes often, the slowness cuts down on productivity because we have to wait for things to save before continuing."
"The initial setup is never straightforward. It's always complex."
"In terms of improvement, we would see a benefit in Pega having better availability on the cloud side."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"We are changing systems because we are trying to bring total service delivery into a common platform, and Pega is not able to handle the requirements."
"Its implementation in the public sector was a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company is trying to replace iGrafx because the license is a little bit expensive."
"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."
"I have heard that the solution's pricing is very competitive."
"The licensing part is one of the problems. Its licensing depends on the number of users, so it sometimes gets expensive."
"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."
"In terms of the pricing for Pega BPM, other solutions may be cheaper, but it doesn't matter if Pega BPM has a higher price tag because what's important is that it's the best solution, and that is what people look for. If I would rate the pricing for the solution, I'd give it three out of five. You have to pay extra for additional features in Pega BPM."
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
"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."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"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 BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
