PegaRULES Initial Setup

PegaRULES is generally straightforward to work with, at least in my experience. While there may be some learning involved, it is not overly complex. Having some familiarity with Java can also be beneficial. Personally, I did not encounter any significant difficulties when working with PegaRULES.

It's easy to set up PegaRULES because seventy to eighty percent of the projects have a cloud deployment. Pegasystems does the setup, particularly a cloud setup for any project that starts from scratch, so software developers and clients won't have headaches from the setups. My company can immediately begin with the implementation from day one, so this setup is very sophisticated and makes the tool easy to use.

From what I remember, Pegasystems also helps improvise your setup, so it doesn't take much time, and the process is straightforward.

Deploying PegaRULES is very easy because of the Deployment Managers. A deployment manager is part of the CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment). Pegasystems has the Deployment Manager, a tool you need to install that you can use to easily integrate all the environments, such as the dev, the test, the UAT, the staging, the pre-prod, and the prod environments. There's a hierarchy of environments till the code has gone live.

The Deployment Manager helps to promote the code from one environment to the other with just a click of a button. You need to create deployment pipelines and click some buttons, and the code is automatically promoted from one environment to another, which makes the process quite fast.

The solution is fairly straightforward to set up. It's not overly complex. That said, some of the integration is a little complex. Apart from that, everything looks good.

It doesn't take too many people to deploy the solution.

The initial setup is very straightforward, although if it is a customer who is new, they might find it challenging. If they involve the right system integrator, then along with the right system integrator, I don't see a challenge there.

Pega is also available on the cloud as well as on-prem. It is one of the few types of software which is available both on-prem and on the cloud. With the cloud solution, starting up is pretty easy. A successful setup is basically a combination of using the right partner and going onto the cloud to reduce the initial friction to onboard Pega.

From a staff point of view, for a standard application, it requires 10 to 12 resources, and they would involve people who are lead architects and developers.

It would require business analysts or someone who can work with the business to understand and visualize the solution.

It requires one engagement lead to work with the customer and manage the entire project and one or two clusters. With a team of 10 people, we have seen we can deliver end-to-end applications on Pega quite easily.

When it comes to maintenance on production, it requires a team of either two or three based on the size of the application.

Pega provides documentation. The same documentation can be followed during their own deployment process.

In my opinion, it's not complicated in terms of deployment; but it depends on how your applications will be deployed. It's the same method. 

Pega will also assist you in this regard. It simplifies the deployment process and makes it easier to set up others.

I would rate the initial setup a five out of five.

If everything works and is ready, the initial setup can be deployed in half a day.

Initial setup is quite straightforward. Deployment time is based on the actual size of the project. On average, it can take anywhere from three to five months to build. Usually, the team servicing from our side is around five to seven people and from the client side it's usually a project manager and a couple of others.

The initial setup can be a bit complex because you don't just deploy the solution out of the box. It has many possibilities and when you are implementing the solution you are setting specific features to align with the requirements of the business. In POCs and real production environments as well you need to think about all of the different aspects and this makes the setup complex.

It is easy to install PegaRULES. There are no major issues because we have the proper guidelines for release and configuration. The length of time needed for deployment depends on the requirements for each client.

The initial setup is quite easy. If you use the cloud option, you get the full stack delivered and there's no hassle with setting up certain features or certain information. If you install it on your local machine, it also works fine although it's more complex. If you set it up in a local environment on the local server, then you have to check a lot of different things and especially all the things related to security and that can add some hassle.
