Shibankur Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It's all now on cloud subscription, so you can use all the features without worrying about making the system updates patches."
"The most valuable feature of OpenText 360 for SharePoint is its performance. The solution is one of the best in the market if you search the internet."
"The most valuable features are collaboration, traceability, retention of documents, and search."
"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"The product has a strong and easy integration with Teams."
"OpenText 360's best features are platform independence and its performance when searching large numbers of documents."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process."
"It is a stable product."
"The most notable feature is the dynamic workflow changes, allowing adjustments without completing the entire cycle. Transitioning from test to build to production was seamless and on the fly, which is something truly remarkable about Pega. Additionally, the workflow creation doesn't require users with extensive technical skills, thanks to its low-code platform, making it accessible and efficient."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features. Also, the UI design was pretty easy."
"While there may be stability issues, they are minimal."
"The technical support from Pega is very low, rating a one or two out of ten."
"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."
 

Cons

"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"If I have to really create an internal knowledge management portal, if I have to compare SharePoint and WordPress, WordPress is far, far better in regard to the SharePoint option."
"The platform's workflows could be more intuitive and easier to use."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"They are not going for any add-ons right now. It's the same version we are still using and there is no plan of upgrading and/or creating any add-ons at all."
"I would like for there to be even more integrations in the next release and I believe that the price could go down a bit."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"PegaRULES should provide a more drag-and-drop interface to make it a low-code, no-code product."
"There is room for potential improvement in the performance of PegaRULES, as well as the need to address any existing security concerns. It should be noted that working with an older version of Pega, rather than the latest 8.x versions, may limit certain capabilities and leave room for vulnerabilities that could benefit from increased attention. Furthermore, the user interface (UI) could be a candidate for enhancements. It is worth mentioning that newer versions of Pega may have introduced improvements in these areas."
"There is room for improvement in the user interface area."
"User interface needs improvement."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The way the IDE works with the chatbox and the taxonomy imports could be a little smoother."
"The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"It has a reasonable price."
"Its price is reasonable, but its licensing is very complex. This platform contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify its licensing."
"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."
"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."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"Pricing is good."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"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."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"There are multiple Pega licensing models, including outcome- and revenue-based licensing models"
