Flokzu Cloud BPM vs. Pega Platform

• Distributed teams (like our case), from all over Argentina, Paraguay, Perú, and Uruguay.
• Collaborative needs, like sharing documents, getting approvals.
• Manager needs: supporting alerts (deadlines and reminders) and custom reports for performance tracking.
• Tracking needs: when you need to know where a request, or a proposal, or a claim or a commercial lead is.

Pega [RPA] is good to address a specific business function requirement with not too many bots or automation processes. It takes time and effort to set it up. Though once done, it is very easy to configure and use. One should also run a POC to verify if this product meets the scalability requirements.

• Process Versioning and automatic migration to the latest version.
• Process Sandbox lets you test and try processes before going to production.
• BPMN 2.0 support.
• Real Low-Code (no programming skills needed).
• Zapier and WebService integration out of the box.
• 100% cloud (no installments or complex configurations needed).
• An easy method to add new users/roles.

• Reusability
• Pega’s Situational layer cake architecture is capable of organizing application to suit enterprise needs. An enterprise can have a complex organization structure located around the globe. Because of Situational layer cake architecture reusing common policies and procedures is easy while allowing for differences between products, regions, channels and customer segments.Whereas with some application development platforms, separate copies of the application should be created to suite different business context.
• Faster application delivery
• With Pega developers can reuse common policies and procedures, replicate functions and industry specific frameworks and utilize pega UI elements to develop applications. IT is easy to deploy.Therefore developers are capable of delivering application earlier compared to some application development platforms. Pega reduces time taken to deliver an outcome.
• Pega upgrades
• Pega platform is upddated to adapt and work with latest technologies.
• Proprietary users support and maintain Pega platform continuously. Pega customer support is always willing to enhance product support.

• Doesn't allow to use the product as white-label.
• Doesn't include connectors to SAP (it could be connected via Web Services).

• Reporting is not extensive in Pega. Because of this higher management is not able to get the reports which will give them insights into a different area. So Reporting functionality can be improved in Pega.
• Organizations that want to fully use all the features of the Pega 7 platform must follow Pega’s solution development methodology which may not be aligned fully with the organization objectives.
• During upgrades, some of the rules which are deprecated have to be changed to new available rules. This becomes a problem as one has to understand all the functionality and then change a lot of things.

Pegasystems has continued to demonstrate a strong partnership with our organization and investment in their product that aligns with our overall vision and need. Pegasystems has engaged us at every level, with the assistance of minor defects to the overall roadmap planning and alignment of our goals

I'm not an expert, nor IT girl, but Flokzu has been so easy to use and setup that I could do it by myself.

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..

Nice people both on chat and e-mail, always willing to help us.

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.

The online training is an excellent one, but still it is missing hands on development.

Implementation is totally depend up on the requirement

BPMN support. More powerful process modeler. Better customer support.

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.

Incentivized

• Not allowed to publish the ROI, but I can tell you it has been a great investment.
• The more relevant outcome has been the ability to deploy new process and new versions of existing processes in hours/days.
• The knowledge base and easy of use made us autonomous, so we don't need external consultancy services.

• Our company has boomed in the past few years because we of how we use Pega.
• We will get a project from a client and the turnaround will be so quick they will throw 3-4 more projects at us.
• Smaller developer teams means less complexity and less overhead.
