"Power Automate has been the most valuable feature."
"Pega is a local platform that has evolved from a BPM perspective. This allows teams using this solution to address complexities without having deep knowledge in a specific development area."

"While Pega technical support is okay, it also depends on the issues you need help with and who your contact is with Pega."
