Interactive with good functionality and helps with productivity
The latest version is HOPEX WiFi. HOPEX can be on the cloud and accessed from anywhere within the given access network area. It is very interactive. We can do things from anywhere, and all the applications will work as specified. We can generate documents and can publish the documents. We can create a data match and visualize graphs and everything. Everything can be generated from the web interface itself. It has good functionality. We can develop our own customizations and meta models to define requirements, in-house business functions, and requirements. MEGA is already defined by global standards. A company can adapt to global standards and work in such a way to design its own methodology to define its structure. The interface is very good.

It lets you do any modifications easily compared to legacy solutions as it's a low-code, no-code tool
What PegaRULES should work on is the integration aspect. I can integrate it with other platforms, but that can take time. It would be good if integration could be automated or if the tool had more out-of-the-box integration features. Apart from that, I can do most of the integrations with other platforms in PegaRULES. Still, from a development perspective, as a software developer, I would like to see an easier way to implement integrations where I can click a few screens or do less coding for integration. Still, if I have to do any integration, it would be possible in PegaRULES, but it would take two to three hours to complete. I want a more straightforward integration process in the tool because compared to Microsoft Power Platform, another low-code, no-code tool, Microsoft Power Platform is relatively straightforward to integrate with Twitter. You can quickly get the feeds from Twitter. Microsoft Power Platform has an out-of-the-box integration setup with Twitter. Based on this example, PegaRULES could have a more straightforward integration piece. If the tool had more default integration pieces or out-of-the-box integrations with other platforms by default, that would help a lot. For example, Twitter integration, ChatGPT integration, etc., especially because ChatGPT is becoming popular. Otherwise, I'll have to write some custom code and then create the connectors and the HTTP connectors and connect the connectors to the system manually, which takes time. I want default integrations that I can plug and play to make integrations in PegaRULES easier. Integration with the latest AI is a feature I want to see in PegaRULES. For example, an out-of-the-box integration with ChatGPT because I'm working on an integration piece for one of my own POCs, but I need custom coding to build that feature. I need a feature that lets you click a button to integrate PegaRULES with multiple platforms to make the integration process very easy. Less custom coding when it comes to integration is also what I want to see in the tool, though that impacts developers like me rather than the customer experience because it's more the backend.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The strength of MEGA HOPEX lies in its ability to customize the metamodel."
"MEGA HOPEX helps me to see the benefits of different solutions in terms of the entire ecosystem I have, by providing different integrations and overseeing the entire system."
"MEGA offers a more integrated GRC platform to facilitate enhanced coordination between the functions of Risk, Compliance, and Internal Audit on a single platform solution - HOPEX."
"HOPEX has a panel that offers various views. I think that is very good. MEGA has an app for integrating with a lot of apps. We help our clients integrate HOPEX with a different product like Apple Gateway, for example. I've been with the company for 15 years, and we connect with everything. Our clientele includes almost all of the banks in Mexico."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"It generates friendly websites and presents specific views of the enterprise (business, functional, applicative, technological, and infrastructure)."
"The initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."
"You do not need to be a professional of enterprise modeling to contribute to the enrichment and improvement of the enterprise repository."
"The latest releases of PegaRULES are scalable, advanced, and can be easily integrated into your environment."
"Offers a unique environment where its entire architecture is very unified"
"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."
"The flexibility of the Pega Platform in allowing use of different UI architectures, such as React and Angular, is also appreciated."
"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."
"While there may be stability issues, they are minimal."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment."
"Case Management, as well as Workflow Automation, are Pega's most powerful capabilities."
 

Cons

"It has a data domain where we load our data objects onto the tool but doesn't provide data governance capabilities such as cleansing or validating data."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"Standardization is lacking. The Operational Risk Function will be more effective if it at a default level follows established Basel standards for Loss categorization, Risk Assessments, Risk Event categorization, etc."
"I would like to see more regular updates released."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"The features are limited. I'm hoping in the future the solution will be bigger and include more items. Right now, overall, it needs more."
"Pega Cloud early adoption and use for cross enterprise capability was new to many. The early adoption meant version 2.0 of their cloud service may require refactoring and redesign of some services."
"We need more light retail BPM tools within the Pega system. However, Pega is mostly for big companies."
"This is an expensive solution."
"PEGA claims that they provide a LOW-CODE-PLATFORM which is easy to use - even for "citizen developers" (i.e. business employees). If you really want to use all the features out of this platform, you definitely need a lot of experience and a lot of training."
"Containerization should be improved in relation to Pega because Camunda is deployable in the containerization deployment process."
"PegaRULES need to improve its JVM. It needs to enhance the operation speed and memory size."
"The UI part needs improvement."
"Currently, there isn't any feature I want to be added in the next release of Pega BPM because Pega always adds new features that my team welcomes and looks forward to learning. One area for improvement in the solution is the long learning curve, but after that, you'll find Pega BPM easy to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has a high cost."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"It is very expensive."
"The product is reasonably priced for the value it offers. There's a good balance between cost and features."
"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."
"The price of the support depends on the vendors that are reselling this module or the MEGA HOPEX version 5. We are on premium support and are their only partners in the GCC, we have a premium support contract with them. The support we have is not with the client. The client does not bear the cost, it's us who bear the cost."
"I've been told that MEGA HOPEX is very expensive, which is why small organizations dismiss the tool. It's complex and costly versus other simpler and cheaper solutions."
"The price of the MEGA HOPEX license could improve, it is expensive. The license key for business process analysis and IT architecture is approximately €10,000. This price is fixed, it's not a subscription or cloud-based version. It is a one-time price."
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"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."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
"It is cost-effective for medium enterprises. It is cheaper than ServiceNow."
"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."
"In terms of the price, if I were to compare Pega to other tools, it would be more expensive, but it would also provide you with the same features."
