We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal.""We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors.""It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue.""Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly.""Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options.""The case management feature is really valuable.""The solution is very easy to use.""One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach."

"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release.""It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution.""In the next release, I would like to see personalization of information about customers or specific businesses or opportunities.""While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use.""Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution.""You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
