## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Pega you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 51 of the 71 other automation tools grade higher.

- You could make: Case management: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- You could not: A builder that other people can use without writing code.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
