We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's deployment phase was easy.""One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach.""We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors.""Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly.""The solution is very easy to use.""The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal.""It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue.""The case management feature is really valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Pega Robotic Process Automation is the technique: you can create a user interface that can interact with a human being for attended robots.""They are leaders in the same industry.""The solution's automation handling capability has positively impacted the overall automation process in my experience.""The most valuable aspect for myself was access to the .net framework. If I couldn't figure something out using the objects that they had provided, I could bring in the .net objects and do so using similar logic that I would in a .net or C sharp coding language. Having that familiarity was helpful.""The initial setup is pretty easy and quite fast.""It was very smooth and very seamless to create automations.""The tech support is highly available and there is plenty of online training available.""Pega is very mature. It's very old. They have grown with time, and they have learned. Other robotic process automation solutions are basically focused on only doing the automation, whereas Pega also gives you a workflow system so that you can create a workflow."

Cons
"For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases.""The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications.""It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive.""The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis.""They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it.""The UI should be improved.""Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model.""The UI is lagging and needs to be improved."

More Pega CRM Cons →

"The way integration classes are created could be improved.""The OCR capabilities of the solution could be improved.""It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved.""In this modern world, in this automation space, if Pega could provide more options that are user-friendly and provide a way to quickly develop an automation solution that is drag-and-drop with a minimal coding approach, then it would be great for automation.""The new players such as UiPath and ABBYY are moving very quickly, but Pega is not. I'd definitely like to see Pega doing a few more interesting things on the AI or machine learning front so that we can use the platform for multiple things.""They have tied the deployment with the Pega BPM product, the robot manager. You need to have the BPM installed.""The ease-of-use could be improved.""The handwritten structured and semi-structured data recognition accuracy is much lower and is an area that definitely needs to improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is expensive."
  • "We have numerous uses of the solution in our organisation. Almost 72 applications are integrated with Pega CRM, and some of them are shutting down for various reasons including the high licensing costs. There is a strong focus in the market and offices on cost reduction."
  • "The pricing is on the higher side."

  • "​I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost​."
  • "Pega is pretty costly."
  • "Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."
  • "In terms of Pega Robotic Process Automation pricing, I would rate it a five out of five because the solution has a good price. Pricing is not very high, though I'm unsure of the exact cost, based on my experience, the price for Pega Robotic Process Automation is less than Blue Prism because I worked with a few clients that have both solutions and my clients prefer Pega Robotic Process Automation over Blue Prism particularly because of the licensing costs."
  • "Pega is as competitive as the basic players such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere. UiPath is the most expensive, but Pega is at par with Automation Anywhere."
  • "I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."
  • "The licensing cost is too high."
