Quality Assurance Team Lead at HCLSoftware
Process automation has improved case handling and now saves half of our daily manual work
Pega Platform has improved my business process overall. The manager confirmed that manual statuses are automated and manual evaluations are automated. For eight hours of work, it automates four hours of work. Pega Platform has features for operational efficiency that are significant. It provides a business security texture app, which is a valuable feature, and it also offers report definitions such as bar charts, pie charts, and operational help. In terms of management capabilities, Pega Platform provides dashboards and tools that help with management and categories. Pega Platform has good integration features, as integration can be done in many ways, and even for legacy systems, it is a strong feature. I did not encounter any problems with legacy systems. Pega Platform has good scalability. It is not difficult to scale up or down if there is a need.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's case management is its most valuable aspect."
"It was easy to learn, adapt, and go through Pega BPM's low code builders."
"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."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"We can use the rules as per the class."
"Pricing is a little on the high side."
"The rule engines work well."
"The enterprise product has the best features as a cloud product and is the market leader in the BPM space."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"High licensing costs: Pega is often seen as expensive, especially for small and mid-sized enterprises."
"The UI cannot be customized in the solution."
"Pega says BPM is low-code/no-code, but that's not true - you need intervention as you can't design the application without some knowledge about it."
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
"Pega BPM could be improved by including token-based authentication and extending its integration options."
"Its implementation in the public sector was a bit complex."
"There is a lack of support and community presence in the country, leading to challenges in finding developers."
"PegaRULES should provide a more drag-and-drop interface to make it a low-code, no-code product."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We do not have to purchase any licenses for the product."
"Pega BPM is expensive because it's a leading product, but it also delivers a good return on investment (ROI)."
"It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
"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."
"I am not aware of the cost. But, considering the licenses, user licenses, and infrastructure, I'd guess around a million USD."
