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

"This solution has good connection and we do not need to migrate everything in order to protect the repository."
"We concentrate on the legal industry, such as legal libraries. It's the most structured solution we have used and implemented for five years."
"The collaborative environment for long-term archival or record management is great."
"In terms of its most valuable features, this solution, in general, will provide all you need and it's very convenient to use. We can share our details to collaborative platforms. We can give access to users. It's pretty flexible."
"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."
"It has a lot of flexibility, and Microsoft does come up with some new additions from time to time."
"The fact that you can see and create something that fits your business is the most valuable thing in this platform. It is a customizable product, so it fits your needs."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The ability to define processes, build reports, and get insights or analytics on data is most valuable. It is a powerful platform."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"It is a stable product."
"Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable."
"The new PEGA underwriting platform replaced the former underwriting system and helped to integrate other legacy systems and functionalities in one application. It also helped to save licence costs for other legacy systems."
"The solution has very helpful technical support."
"The tool reduces our costs."
 

Cons

"The graphical user interface had to be more user-friendly. It's not as intuitive."
"The user interface could definitely be improved."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be how the platform handles large volumes of documents. It also doesn't provide a very good, robust backup and restore capacity. In the next release, I would like the search technology to be improved."
"Its licensing needs to be simplified. Currently, its licensing is very complex. It contains a number of pieces, and you have to be an expert in reading all the conditions in the license. They should simplify the licensing and make it easier to understand. It would make a customer's life easier."
"They need to come with more out of the box solutions, rather than depending on customers to develop them."
"Integration is an area where the solution lacks."
"We have a very good time to market tool, and the development platform should be made user-friendly. Mostly, it's just support."
"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."
"To learn Pega, you need to be a partner. If someone just wants to learn Pega for the sake of learning, they won't be able to do so as they don't give access to that."
"The cost of licensing could be improved."
"The product's artificial intelligence capabilities could be improved. More advanced AI features could further optimize process automation and decision-making."
"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."
"Pega BPM could be improved by including token-based authentication and extending its integration options."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"The solution would benefit from more integration capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"SharePoint uses a subscription model."
"Pricing is a part of the enterprise agreement that we have."
"It has a reasonable price."
"On-premises version is expensive"
"The solution has a very complex pricing model."
"There is a license needed to use OpenText 360 for SharePoint and we pay annually. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"OpenText 360's price varies depending on how long you've been a customer, how many licenses you have, and which products you use."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
"May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"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."
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
