Freshchat vs. Pega Customer Decision Hub

It is best suited for having 24-hour support, where customers can interact easily, even using their phones, to raise concerns or inquire about information. This makes it easier than going through the documents portal as a source of knowledge or sending emails for worries. However, it can be less appropriate for scenarios when you need more formal communication, like emails, and when proper documentation is necessary.

PRPC is a BPM and Case management suite from Pega Systems. Pega is a comprehensive suite which offers a unique theme of BPM development in the market. A no-coding approach based on rules with inheritance makes Pega a very powerful product but is very difficult to learn. Even, if we go to Pegasystems for training, we have to work on a project at least for a year to have some confidence. Areas where it requires improvements: 1) One of the first things that client's IT department questions about is proprietary BLOB column in PRPC, for them, it is a disadvantage, but as we all know BLOB is what makes the highly complex data model of any BPM application fit inside to a common schema which eliminates the help of a DBA. 2) Another area of improvement is: when using the wizards to generate rules (such as the connector wizards) you have to be careful about the level of coupling between the work object's data model and the interface's data model. This can also create maintenance issues. 3) The complete Pega suite of products have a long time to develop and deploy and it can be easily done using other low-cost software.

• Freshchat is one of the best platforms, but still there are certain areas that require further improvement in order for the platform to become flawless.
• I feel that the automated system in Freshchat is comparatively slow and due to this, it does not respond well according to all the requirements.
• There are certain features in Freshchat which are not available for everyone and they can only be accessed by those who are paying the highest pricing tier.

• Pega Customer Engagement Suite is ready to use out of the box with several features, but custom development is always needed.
• Although new features can be quickly implemented, they have to go through a screening Business analysis process, QA screening and SCRUM based development.
• Pega eliminates the need for custom code, but there are rare cases where an specific requirement has little to no support from Pega, and implementing custom code can break OOB functionality and make the system unstable.

I give it an 8 due to its usability.
