We performed a comparison between FICO Blaze Advisor and PegaRULES based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Business Rules Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The rules management application is the best feature because BAs or even, perhaps, a businessperson, can directly create rules, change rules, and deploy them to production directly."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the algorithm they use in the retail version. The execution there is very optimized - so even though we have a huge service with huge counter rules, we still get the results in milliseconds. That is something amazing I found about this tool."
"The solution is customizable, so you can create your own data items and variables to suit your needs."
"The most valuable feature is the IDE."
"The solution is very stable."
"FICO Blaze Advisor's most valuable features are the analytics, the code change is not required, and even a business analyst can do that change in the rules when we set it up."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it has a fast engine for decisioning."
"In certain circumstances, it can be fairly straightforward to execute and deploy new modifications."
"Offers a unique environment where its entire architecture is very unified"
"The new PEGA underwriting platform replaced the former underwriting system and helped to integrate other legacy systems and functionalities in one application. It also helped to save licence costs for other legacy systems."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment."
"We can use the rules as per the class."
"It's not too expensive."
"What I found most valuable in PegaRULES is that it allows you to quickly make changes to an existing application. It's pretty easy to do any modification in the tool, which you cannot do in legacy solutions. For example, it takes a lot of time to do it in Java or in .NET. I have worked with both legacy technologies in the past, so that I can tell the difference."
"We find the product to be scalable."
"The initial setup of FICO Blaze Advisor was somewhat complex. The implementation took approximately three to four months. However, I left halfway through the process, I am not sure of the exact timeframe."
"More online support such as a knowledge base should be available."
"FICO needs to provide a better user experience and user interface."
"FICO Blaze Advisor is still missing things for maintaining the version of something. For example, we have gates for programming, for storing, or scripts. In there, one developer can prepare a file or a piece of code or something, and another developer can work on the same code or on the same text file or something, and you can manage it. This is missing in FICO Blaze Advisor."
"The developer's tools on their optimized version should be a little bit more user friendly. Additionally, it really doesn't pick up the actual exception or error of what the developers are getting."
"I would like to see more help on the internet and more training over the internet. They only have a few blogs there, so that should be increased."
"Lacks notifications when code changes have been made."
"The UI needs improvement."
"The UI has always been the weakest part."
"PegaRULES should provide a more drag-and-drop interface to make it a low-code, no-code product."
"PegaRULES need to improve its JVM. It needs to enhance the operation speed and memory size."
"User interface needs improvement."
"The usability of the solution for developers is sometimes difficult to work with because instead of fixing the existing bugs in the previous version, there is always a rush to push out a new version leaving the bugs in the old versions unresolved."
"The quality of partners available with Pega specialisation can be improved."
"Implementation is a challenge due to the handling of the code"
