Pros
"It's an intuitive product.

"​It is a good and matured solution.""Pega Robotic Process Automation's most valuable feature is that it is robust. Additionally, they have plenty of online documents that are good and Pega Academy is helpful, they are doing a great job. They give training on practical use cases. They take domain use cases, and they are great.""Pega is also broadening its landscape by building on top of PRPC (CRM, EPC, etc.), and with a cloud offering available, it is a genuine contender to compete with Salesforce.""Its stability has been good.""The solution's automation handling capability has positively impacted the overall automation process in my experience.""Pega Robotics offers all the required features to build end-to-end process automation like any other similar tools. It's unique development style using data line and control flow line makes it easy to debug through the flow.""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.""It helped cut short the release cycle by almost 40% compared to the previous solution.​"

Cons
"There should be a comprehensive or enterprise level of application to provide the cognitive AI, and there should be orchestration so that I can control all the robots on one station. The other tools are currently providing these features.""The BPM component needs improvement.""There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products.""There should be more transparency when it comes to which features accompany the pricing, as there appear to be hidden features of which I am not aware.""While using this solution, we found it to be basic.""The integration of our system into Power Automate was a bit tricky. We had to put a data lake in place before automating anything because we were not very structured in terms of data. Our major issue was cleaning up the data.""I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot.""Inability to use a lot of connectors without having a premium license."

More Microsoft Power Automate Cons →

"The way integration classes are created could be improved.""The OCR capabilities of the solution could be improved.""I have faced many scenarios in the business workflow, where a few applications run on the Citrix environment. That could be a critical part of the process without which business won't be able to accept the automation solution. Because of one small bottleneck, you will lose a very good candidate for process automation.""Pega Robotic Process Automation can improve the OGR area. You don't have a feature to read documents in computer voices.""Pega has a no-code low-code environment. We do everything based on established rules. You kind-of have to learn how all their rules work and how it works for robotics before you can use the solution effectively.""You cannot use a two-dimensional array to read the data.""It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved.""I would like to see an enhanced auditing feature included."
