Pros

Pega integrates multiple channels on Customer Service into one central system.
Pega accelerates the customer relations with the organization and delivers higher rates of customer satisfaction.
Pega implements several solutions to target all customer needs for service support.

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Customer Relationship processes can be accelerated with the Pega platform, and hence, ensuring a better engagement.
Pega needs a lot of maintainability support on development, but little support on deployment.
Pega provides several channels to connect with the Customer and attract new possible customers.
