    I recommend Automation Hero when you receive a lot of communications (email or fax) with a lot of attachments like documents or picture, for which there is a human operator that has to collect all the information from them and this information are basically always the same (same information, same fields, some pictures...). Automation Hero needs a little training to perform well, and this can be realized only if there is a large number of inputs. Instead, if your company manages few documents or only documents written by a human, I think Automation Hero isn't a good choice because the performance isn't good enough, and you have to dedicate too much time to the training (the value of Automation Hero is the possibility to arrange your activities quickly so if you need a lot of time, the solution is not so convenient). Also, in the classification field, I recommend Automation Hero if you have a lot of emails to manage and if you need the first classification of them before they are managed by humans (so, emails are always read by humans who provide answers, but the first step of the classification may be managed by the machine). In a few words, I think Automation Hero could work for large companies.

    Pega Platform has introduced the low code feature, using app studio seasonal and professional developer can develop application easily and quickly. The initial application can be build by Business analyst and product owner who has less knowledge of Pega Platform, further application can be enhanced/extended by professional developer. We can develop end to end application and promote to higher environment. Easily we can perform parallel development using branch.

    • Quick development time. Much of the Pega "rules" are easy to configure and implement.
    • Visually friendly and modern. Much of the UI/UX elements in the system are continuously supported and updated, giving a nice feel to the apps.
    • Many of the configurations and rules Pega gives to the developers can also be delegated to business users. The organization and structure of the client's business can easily be adapted in the Pega platform.

    Cons
    Automation Hero
    • The user interface could be more detailed (Robin).
    • Also documents in txt or html format could be read.
    • The help section for clients could be integrated into the platform without switching from one to another.

    • Need more learning materials. For Beginners who have previous programming experience with another language takes more time to learn.
    • If the developer is met with an issue in pega platform , they have to rely on Pega supporting team to fix it.
    • Customization is available but is not encouraged. Pega does not support faults that occur in customized solutions.

    Pega Platform is enhancing its product and launching new features day by day which help to achieve customers needs. If I talk about the earlier version of Pega Platform (i.e. pega v5 and 6.3) there were many numbers of limitations in Pega Platform and if we need to do some customization then needed to write custom java and jave scripts to achieve the functionally. Now I can say Pega Platform is running with market trends and demand. Pega Platform is giving all the options which support the current technologies like decisioning capabilities, real time processing, mashup, process fabrics etc..

    It’s very slow sometimes, but that may be our servers. Also the Knowledge Library needs some work - again, not sure if it’s our setup or what- but I’m unable to search the body of an article for content, so I have to be very intentional with tagging, but it’s not ideal.

    Automation Hero has a great support service for its customers. They are available to work closely with our team, especially for the first steps/first implementations, and they give us a team who is confident with our local native language. When there is something that goes wrong, they have quick answers for us, so we don't have to wait for the problem solutions.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Automation Hero
    • Less IT costs because, with Hero Platforms, flows can be implemented without IT technical skills.
    • Better customer services for standard questions (speed reply).
    • Solutions are scalable so once you have created one you can reuse them in other departments (so the ROI for the implementation of Automation Hero must be considered for a lot of projects).

    • For one of the applications we worked on, we were able to reduce the processing time on a case from 2 days to 20 minutes by utilizing Pega
    • We were able to resolve the issue of the routing of cases to users based on a specific algorithm by use of Pega
    • Pega case management feature was extensively used in one of the application to establish a parent-child relationship which was very helpful for all the business users
