Significantly improves the overall cycle time, and offers robotic automation, and the BPM workflow
The extensive availability of ready-made gadgets in Pega BPM is a double-edged sword. While it offers convenience, it also leads to a steeper learning curve. Our developers and business analysts need to invest significant time and effort to fully understand and utilize the platform's capabilities. In essence, it's a complex product that demands a deep understanding to be used effectively. So, it cuts both ways. This complexity can be both an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on the user's expertise. So, the learning curve is pretty high! So, it's very good if you are a professional user, but you need to be a really good professional user to use this solution effectively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the product is very good."
"All the features come as part of a standard license."
"OpenText ProVision's best feature is the capability to attach a variety of attributes and extract and analyze that information."
"While there may be stability issues, they are minimal."
"The solution offers excellent workflows."
"Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
"Pega BPM has a full suite for any enterprise. It is a process orchestration platform. It has detailed features for case management and workflows."
"The most important features of Pega BPM are case management and claims management, and soon they'll also be offering claims processing. I also love Pega BPM in terms of performance. It's also one of the very few user-friendly solutions in the market. It may take some time to learn Pega BPM, but once you get a proper handle on it, tracking and managing processes become very easy anytime, anywhere. Pega BPM also has very good documentation you can use to learn the solution. Pega has a community portal that has complete information and explanations, and if you're facing a challenge, you can post your challenge on the community portal and get a resolution at the same time."
"The workflow designing and integration are the most valuable features. Also, the UI design was pretty easy."
 

Cons

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
"Lacks the ability to have your own in-house developments."
"Integrating with or interfacing with other tools like data management tools would be very helpful."
"The product's artificial intelligence capabilities could be improved. More advanced AI features could further optimize process automation and decision-making."
"UI needs improvement."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"Customers expect more out-of-the-box solutions."
"The UI needs reworking."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"It needs more integration with other platforms."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"The solution could be less expensive according to my customers. However, I think the price of the solution is fair."
"The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"They're very cagey in giving out prices, and it is very difficult to find out the real price any organization is going to get. It is almost never their list price, if you can find it, and there are a lot of factors that go into the whole pricing."
"It is cost-effective for medium enterprises. It is cheaper than ServiceNow."
"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."
