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 most valuable feature of the product is that it's very customer-centric. It's easy to use for a customer or a user. It's also easy for someone who is developing an application. You can develop different features in just one place. You don't have to go to different places."
"There are a lot of frameworks in the product. I use Pega PRPC the most."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The workflows are the most valuable features, particularly for us, because we were attempting to automate processes by utilizing workflows to provide a hands-off comparison between the bot and the human."
"Case Management is the most valuable feature of PegaRULES, which is not found in other BPM tools."
"While Pega technical support is okay, it also depends on the issues you need help with and who your contact is with Pega."
"The tool reduces our costs."
"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."
"It's very simple to use and the integration features between Java and other services within the workflow are very easy."
 

Cons

"The pricing model needs to be improved. Right now, it's too expensive."
"The UI needs improvement."
"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."
"Pega currently is trying to add chatbots to their systems, and it's still quite immature. This part definitely needs to be improved."
"It should have integration with non-relational databases. A lot of databases are non-relational, and as a company, we are planning to move to NoSQL or open-source databases. It would be good if we are able to install and use Pega on a NoSQL database. They can also try to tailor or organize the company a bit differently and go more towards the microservice concept. I would like Pega to develop machine learning and intelligent AI algorithms. They have a good foundation in terms of the model and the stuff that we are using for some customers, and it will be good to onboard as many machine learning algorithms as possible."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"The local development approach is good in Pega, however, cost-wise, it's getting expensive. That needs to be addressed."
"They are currently spending some time on improving the product with respect to machine learning, especially related to robotic automation. They probably could be a little more adept on that area would help."
"Our customers and developers have complained that the UI is a little bit confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing model from Pega BPM is too complex and is more expensive than other solutions, such as SAP. The overall price of the solution depends on the use case."
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
"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."
"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"We mostly have a yearly license."
"The price of Pega BPM is in the middle range compared to other solutions."
"The licensing model for Pega BPM needs to be improved."
"The price could definitely be lower."
