Pega RPA
Pega RPA connects software systems and automates manual work across Windows, web, and self-hosted environments.
What Pega RPA is
Pega RPA connects software systems and automates manual work across Windows, web, and self-hosted environments. Attended automation provides digital assistants for tedious work in real time, while unattended bots can run in the background without waiting for APIs. Robot Studio is a low-code environment for designing, testing, and deploying bots; its design agents map applications and generate automations. Adapters cover Windows, web, and emulator applications, including Java, SAP GUI, Chrome, and Electron, as well as host or mainframe applications accessed through an emulator. They can automate applications without requiring changes or recompilation of the target, including when it lacks a well-defined API. Robot Manager manages queues, monitors bot performance, and enables self-healing bots. Pega describes governance, testing, and reuse for the platform, which can be paired with Pega Agentic AI, Process Mining, and Process AI. Pega Cloud lists role-based access, SAML, OAuth, Active Directory integrations, AES 256-bit encryption at rest, and TLS 1.2 and 1.3 in transit. Pricing is available on request.
