Salesforce is much faster, but you can’t complete the same things in it. Pega does work well with Salesforce though and can track cases. Pega requires a lot more setup and training than Salesforce, at least at my company. I don’t even know if Salesforce offers the same thing as Pega in task completion.

I can only compare it to our legacy ticketing system we were using previously (based in Remedy) and Pega far outfunctions that system. It provides us the ability to customize intake forms, business rules, and reporting that far outperforms Remedy. We can also intergrate Pega with a much larger tool set.

Pega was by far the best one on leveraging AI and BPM to drive 1-1 personalization. Pega Next-Best-Action capabilities were definitely what made us choose them among the competition. Moreover, Pega has a robust community of users that made us feel we were making the right decision. If you look at their website you'll see all the companies using Pega (Verizon, Ford, GM, Sprint, American Express, etc).

Pega RPA and UIPath both are tools for Robotic process automation. In our projects we were dealing with Pega applications which are easily coupled with Pega RPA. It is better in a multi-threading environment as separate features are provided in Pega RPA. In UIPath, one needs to know VB.NET in order to write custom code which is not a popular programming language. And in Pega RPA, it is a C# and .Net application which is famous among programmers.

Our business needs have a lot of dealing wherein case management is of utmost importance. We had to have a concrete structure of cases, child cases, and their binding cases. Also, data appropriation and its synchronization in these particular cases also play a very important role in our daily delivery routine.

Pega is a browser portal verses with Oracle you get an installed console and BUI
Pega is Java base. If you need software you can manage with not coding, Pega is a good option however you can still do so much with the OSC without any coding. JIRA would be better for service desk tickets, Pega is better as a CRM platform

Pega Platform provided me the many OOTB features like SLA, Workflow, Reports, which are very much needed for my application development with very minimal or no changes. Even customization is very simple and robust. Business rule management is very much needed in my application, which we could not only implement easily, but also delegate easily to business.

Pega Platform is the best BPM tool with more modularity, scalability and the best case management features. Very suitable for Banking, health insurance, and finance projects. The platform is used by analysts, developers and a number of other roles within a single Pega implementation project. The Pega product enhancements launched every year reduce a lot of customization. Pega is not suitable for reporting type projects because reporting is not enhanced

We did evaluate multiple products offerings with Pega Platform capabilities and observed that Pega PRPC rules engine and case management capabilities are better over so many BPM Tools. We also conducted a detailed study with developers to identify the best products out of Suite of BPM products. It's observed that Rules engines integration is very streamlined with forms in Pega whereas other tools multiple have powerful data model capabilities but lacks the ease of creating business rules.

Pega offers a business-friendly toolkit for defining applications. Unlike traditional BPM tools, there is much fewer complications, the technical syntax to handle in modeling processes and hardly any hard-coded programming. A well-trained business user can be trusted to create a business application from the Pegasystems BPM framework if desired. Pega also provides "Case Life cycle Management" - which allows any business user to capture and process the full scope of work in their operations, be it document handling, approvals, decision making, etc. These tasks can all be built into a process flow to automate as much as possible. The usage of design-once, the deploy-anywhere user interface has helped in saving a lot of effort.

Cheaper than TIBCO and has a better front-end as compared to TIBCO.
Cheaper than Salesforce when the target audience is the internal customers like call center agents and claim specialists.

We compare Pega BPM with a wide range of other Business Process Management Software services provided by competitors. We also come up with determined by price, available features, and supplier standing. One BPM tool has its own advantage and Pega has all the features available.
