Bottom line
Pega Platform from Pegasystems is an enterprise low-code workflow automation and AI decisioning platform. Pega markets governed, model-agnostic agentic AI (Claude, GPT and Gemini are named), a flat platform price with no token fees, an official MCP server, and a broad compliance portfolio (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, FedRAMP, HITRUST). Buyers are large regulated organisations in financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and hospitality. Deployments are partner-led and multi-month; pricing is quote-based.
Frequently asked questions
What does Pega Platform cost, and how is AI billed?
Pega does not publish list pricing; contracts are quoted annually and typically sit in the enterprise range. The vendor states that AI on Pega Platform is covered by a flat platform price with no token fees, in contrast to usage-based LLM billing.
How long does a Pega implementation take?
Vendor case studies cite quick wins such as a 42-day Blueprint-led rollout and a 10-month legacy mortgage replacement, but enterprise-wide programmes run longer. For planning, assume roughly three to six months to a first production release plus a partner-led rollout phase.
Can we use our own AI models and agents with Pega?
Yes. Pega describes a model-agnostic, open architecture: it names Claude, GPT and Gemini, exposes its workflow library as governed MCP tools, supports A2A agent connections, and offers Infinity Build MCP so coding agents such as Claude Code or GitHub Copilot can build against a Pega application.
Which compliance certifications does Pega hold?
Pega's Trust Center lists SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 (with 27017/27018), ISO 42001 for AI, ISO 22301, FedRAMP, DoD IL4, HITRUST, PCI/DSS, C5, CSA STAR, IRAP, ISMAP, TISAX, ENS, Cyber Essentials Plus and French HDS across Pega Cloud scopes.
What support is included, and are SLAs published?
Pega provides a logged-in Support Center with ticket submission, product documentation, hotfix catalog and patch calendar, plus community forums. Support hours, plan entitlements and response-time SLAs are not published publicly and should be negotiated in the contract.
Does Pega train AI models on our data?
Pega's privacy notice says personal data may be processed to build, train and improve automated methods where Pega acts as controller, and points to client agreements where Pega acts as a processor. Pega does not publish a blanket statement covering customer data used in its AI services, so confirm terms in your agreement.
