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.

Great UI and out-of-the-box integrations, but needs expanded cloud platform support
Given the rapid pace of innovation we’ve already seen from Unqork, there are a few major capability gaps we face currently. However, some areas of improvement and features we would benefit from in upcoming releases include: 1. Enhanced accessibility compliance - While meeting baseline standards, further WCAG conformance and widgets optimized for screen readers could expand access for disabled users of Unqork solutions. Added compliance certifications would also be welcomed. 2. Expanded cloud platform support - The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon. 3. More analytics and observability - Increased telemetry on app performance, component reuse rates, load testing etc. would help fine-tune Unqork solutions. More data and dashboard visibility into adoption would optimize our ROI. 4. Managing technical debt - As portfolios of Unqork apps grow over time, best practices and features to facilitate updating legacy components, refactoring old solutions, and preventing erosion will be helpful. Added controls to manage technical debt long-term. 5. Evolution of existing components - Existing rich widgets and connectors rounding out maturity with incremental capabilities would expand Unqork's versatility. Expanding the range of use cases served by current components. 6. Offline functionality - For mobile solutions, some limited persistent caching and offline usability during intermittent connectivity would better support field agents/inspectors. Tolerating offline states is key. 7. Design version control - Advancing visual version control capabilities for better design history, branching, merging, and reverting changes to Unqork sites would improve collaboration and prevent overwrite errors by nontechnical users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product helps you to build faster."
"Scalable and stable BPM software with a powerful case management feature. It also has good workflow."
"Fast prototyping."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The case management functionality of this solution has been most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Pega BPM are low code, no code, functionality, and easy development."
"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"One of the key advantages of PegaRULES is its out-of-the-box capabilities, which eliminate the need to build certain functionalities from scratch. For instance, features like "get next" in process flows allow for the seamless continuation of a flow without the requirement of additional activity creation. This serves as an illustration of how existing components can be leveraged rather than starting from scratch. It provides a solid foundation, to begin with, and allows for enhancements at a higher level, making it a beneficial starting point."
"I recommend Unqork for those wanting to start their careers, particularly in sectors like insurance and banking."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
"I rate Unqork's technical support as nine."
"Unqork is a low-code, no-code platform that is easy to use compared to traditional development."
"The features of Unqork that I find most valuable include its performance and security."
"Unqork is a great choice over other BPMS tools like Pega."
"Unqork is stable."
"I would recommend Unqork because of its time-saving capabilities and ease of use."
 

Cons

"There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before."
"Reporting is not so clear and not so great. We really struggle to get the right reporting. When we need reporting based on the content of the tickets, we are not able to get it. The MIS reporting is not great. That's one of the reasons why we are switching to ServiceNow. Its compatibility with the higher versions of Internet Explorer should be improved. It really works well in Mozilla Firefox or any other browser, but when it comes to Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, sometimes, the layout gets disturbed. The positioning of the buttons changes, and there is some distortion in the layout. I am not sure whether it is our configuration problem or Pega's, but when it is working in Mozilla Firefox, it should also work in Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer."
"Customers expect more out-of-box solutions to be readily available"
"The product's artificial intelligence capabilities could be improved. More advanced AI features could further optimize process automation and decision-making."
"I would like to see Pega BPM improve the user experience."
"The technical support is very low, rated at a one or two out of ten."
"Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees."
"There is a lack of support and community presence in the country, leading to challenges in finding developers."
"Unqork needs to improve its learning resources because there aren't many available on platforms like YouTube or Google."
"The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon."
"Occasionally, during server-side execution with multiple loops, we encounter timeout issues, which is something we've had to address with technical support."
"The area that needs improvement in Unqork is its performance."
"Unqork is pretty expensive compared to other tools like UiPath. The certification costs around $2000, which is ten times the price of UiPath."
"The area that needs improvement in Unqork is its performance."
"The loading speed is very slow. Page responses are also unsatisfactory; when margins are added and components are shifted left or right, they do not respond properly, causing overflowing issues on the website."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
"The product pricing is considered reasonable compared to other solutions in the market."
"I would rate the product's pricing a six out of ten."
"PegaRULES is a good product, but its pricing is a bit on the premium side, especially for professionals."
"Users have to pay a yearly license cost for Pega BPM, which is expensive."
"The price is a bit expensive."
"Pricing is good."
"The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
