What do you dislike about Pega Customer Service?

Steep Learning Curve

While powerful, the interface and mechanics can be intimidating for new users. It takes significant ramp-up time, especially for non-technical teams.

Performance Can Lag at Scale

When handling very high volumes or complex rule sets, the platform sometimes slows down. We had to fine-tune heavily to get smoother performance.

Limited Out-of-the-Box Reports

The default reporting options feel basic. Building meaningful reports often requires going deeper into Pega’s designer studio or pulling in third-party tools.

UI Feels Dated in Parts

Despite improvements, some areas of the UI still feel clunky or behind modern web standards. This sometimes impacts the agent’s speed and overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
