Pega RPA
Pega RPA · Waltham, Massachusetts, USA · founded 1983
What it is
Pega RPA connects software systems and automates manual work across self-hosted, web and Windows environments. Attended automation provides digital assistants for tedious tasks in real time, while unattended bots can run in the background without waiting for APIs. Robot Studio offers a low-code workspace for designing, testing and deploying bots, with design agents that map applications and generate automations. Adapters cover Windows, web and emulator applications, including Java, SAP GUI, Chrome, Electron and host or mainframe systems. They can automate applications without recompiling or modifying the target, including systems without a well-defined API. Robot Manager handles work queues, monitors bot performance and enables self-healing bots. Pega describes governance, testing and reuse, and lists connections with Pega Agentic AI, Process Mining and Process AI. Pega Cloud controls include role-based access, SAML, OAuth, Active Directory integration, AES 256-bit encryption at rest and TLS 1.2 and 1.3 in transit. Documentation lists versions R25 and 22.1. Pricing is on request.
