Find out in this report how the two Business Process Management (BPM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The number of historical events is great."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"Fast prototyping."
"The ability to define processes, build reports, and get insights or analytics on data is most valuable. It is a powerful platform."
"Pega BPM's most valuable features are case management, integration, the convenience of using REST APIs, and the ease of changing things at the UI level."
"Can do a lot of things with minimum time and cost."
"The technical support of Pega BPM is very good."
"It is easy to use, easy to understand, easy to implement and easy to enhance and we can do it as a Cloud. Also it is very user friendly."
"The robotic process automation has increased the confidence of business users."
"The interface is quite simple and easy to use, even for beginners."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"Currently, there isn't any feature I want to be added in the next release of Pega BPM because Pega always adds new features that my team welcomes and looks forward to learning. One area for improvement in the solution is the long learning curve, but after that, you'll find Pega BPM easy to use."
"First-time customers will find its licensing tricky. The technical support team for this solution could be faster in resolving tickets."
"This is an expensive solution."
"It should have integration with non-relational databases. A lot of databases are non-relational, and as a company, we are planning to move to NoSQL or open-source databases. It would be good if we are able to install and use Pega on a NoSQL database. They can also try to tailor or organize the company a bit differently and go more towards the microservice concept. I would like Pega to develop machine learning and intelligent AI algorithms. They have a good foundation in terms of the model and the stuff that we are using for some customers, and it will be good to onboard as many machine learning algorithms as possible."
"The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn."
"The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface."
"Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees."
"What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works."
