We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
Powerful, full-featured business process management with excellent support While Pega technical support is okay, it also depends on the issues you need help with and who your contact is with Pega. The most valuable features are case management and integration services. It cuts down the time taken for coding. Earlier it used take for us four hours to do a particular code. Now this can be done in less than 30 minutes. That's the kind of productivity gains you can get. The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features. 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. Allowed us to develop and quickly release with confidence using cloud technologies. Fast prototyping. | This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data. The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge. It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments. Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed). The reporting tool: It helps in data analytics to provide the solution more efficiency. It has superb ease of use and no code needed to create and build apps and databases. |
Cons | |
Lack of stronger cloud support is somewhat inconvenient for users and implementation. What should be included is some UI features and maybe some integrations. This includes documentation on how the UI works. The unit testing needs to improve, as well as the user interface. The biggest thing I have seen is when going from one version to another and upgrading to the latest version, it takes a pretty long time for an organization to go through an upgrade process. I think that's an area where they can make it a little smoother. There have been some performance scalability issues. Suppose you want to add more users. You go from, say, 800 users to 1,500 users, and sometimes that creates issues for which there is no clear explanation. To fix it you have to escalate it with customer service and sometimes the response is not up to the mark in resolving those issues. It is scalable, but it also interacts with a lot of other systems. I think they thought that the interface to other systems, legacy systems, was its strength, but when problems do occur, quickly diagnosing those problems has been a challenge. Pega Cloud early adoption and use for cross enterprise capability was new to many. The early adoption meant version 2.0 of their cloud service may require refactoring and redesign of some services. Business specific functionality is needed. | The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work. The improved developer interface in some areas can be difficult to use for complex items. Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. . This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve. Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment. The licensing fees are based on the number of users. They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments. They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products. Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case. | Quickbase is probably not the cheapest app out there. That said, it is worth its weight in gold. There is no other app that I know of in the market today that can do what Quickbase does. |
