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.

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

"The most valuable feature is that the software controls everything from a single management window."
"I find the IT portfolio management very valuable and helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the completeness of HOPEX's meta-model. It's a strong meta-model that's rigid but comprehensive. It's a logical fit for our understanding of how we want things modeled in our database."
"The most valuable features of MEGA HOPEX are the seamless VPA module and the good user experience. There are built-in connections that provide integration with other platforms, such as ServiceNow. There is a lot of customization available allowing a lot of freedom. The solution is updated frequently adding new features. For example, the feature GraphQL can be integrated into other solutions, such as ManageEngine for ITSM solutions. You are able to use GraphQL to connect APIs and query the APIs."
"We use the portfolio management feature heavily."
"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."
"It's excellent for supporting decision-making."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the reuse of common enterprise components and entities."
"The best part of Pega, for me, is that they let you reuse a lot of the aspects in the product."
"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."
"There are a lot of frameworks in the product. I use Pega PRPC the most."
"The product's most valuable features include its adaptability and flexibility, attributed to its Java-based architecture."
"We can use the rules as per the class."
"Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable."
"This is a customizable product."
"It's an end-to-end solution and a digital transformation tool."
 

Cons

"It would be great if this solution could integrate with other tools such as ITSM (ServiceNow) or CMDB."
"We would like to see integration with other products, such as being able to use our workflow with SharePoint and Microsoft Office."
"I cannot recall coming across any missing features."
"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."
"The solution lacks additional models compared to other tools."
"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."
"Better documentation and training would be helpful."
"The training materials and learning process need improvement."
"The cost of licensing could be improved."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"The usability of the solution for developers is sometimes difficult to work with because instead of fixing the existing bugs in the previous version, there is always a rush to push out a new version leaving the bugs in the old versions unresolved."
"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."
"The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother."
"The licensing cost is very high."
"The UI part needs improvement."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MEGA HOPEX's licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"It is very expensive."
"The pricing depends on the number of licenses purchased."
"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."
"The product has a high cost."
"The tool is relatively expensive."
"If you want to use additional features, such as the Risk Management capability, then it is a little too expensive."
"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."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"I rate Pega BPM a seven out of ten."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"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 price could be lower."
"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."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
