"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Model-driven or Canvas application-making platforms. The power of the two gives us exactly what we are looking for."
"The scalability is good."
"Time to market is most valuable because you can make apps pretty fast. It also has pretty good integration."
"The solution is easy to use and map."
"Generating reports is very fast with Microsoft PowerApps. It's stable and scalable as well."
"The solution becomes easier the set up once you get used to it."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"There's a lot of online knowledge on the solution, to the point where new users can basically teach themselves how to use the solution."
"Pricing is a little on the high side."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This solution is useful for business process management if you have any banking solutions or need to manage a process."
"The most valuable feature is the situational layer cake."
"When our clients automate the KYC and onboarding processes, they can reduce their manual force and then deploy them in much better tasks rather than the mundane activities of selecting forms and gathering information."
"Decreased time for plane departures and landing, supported analytical insight for planning of three to six month forecasting, and helped with operational decision planning and support."
"Pega BPM offers a lot of out-of-the-box functionalities."
"Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate."
"The user interface is pretty good, although it is a little bit clunky and can be improved."
"It's easy to use."
"Microsoft PowerApps can improve the number of bugs that are present. When you are using the different applications it is not accurate."
"We're not in production yet, so we're still working through some issues."
"Microsoft PowerApps can be more costly for small teams or organizations."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"The flexibility of the user interface could be better."
"One of the major problems with it is what PowerApps calls the delegation warning. Regardless of what platform, data source, et cetera, that you're using, you can't retrieve more than 2000 records."
"From a technical point of view, it would be helpful to have some advanced analytics to help with configuration. We have a lot of unwanted features and it would be good to configure it more appropriately so that we are using just exactly what we need."
"It is not fully compatible with all versions of Internet Explorer, so sometimes, it does not work."
"The previous versions had good training documents but the updated versions need to improve the documentation."
"One of the areas of this solution that could be improved would be to advance the low code features of the application itself. We would also like to use the same platform to build any application, even if it is not necessarily defined as a functionality needed by a BPM."
"Pega BPM can improve product management, case management, omnichannel, CDH, and the customer data hub. All the major domains can improve. Additionally, more AI functionality and proper integrations with Pega RPA would be helpful."
"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."
"Compared to other BPM products, the interface is somewhat complex, so the usability could be improved."
"If it could also be integrated with robotics, it could help with a lot of things, even if we don't have APIs, we could still talk to other applications. If it could invoke a bot, for example."
