Pega Cloud vs. On-Premise: A Comparative Study of Deployment Strategies and Performance Metrics
Abstract
The proliferation of hybrid IT environments has propelled enterprises to reassess their deployment strategies for mission-critical platforms like Pega. Offering both cloud and on-premise models, Pega enables organizations to balance performance, control, cost, and scalability. This literature review analyzes academic and industry sources to compare the two deployment approaches with respect to
technical performance, infrastructure governance, integration flexibility, and cost efficiency. Emphasis is placed on how Pega Cloud’s integration with AWS and Azure shaped adoption trajectories in sectors such as financial services, insurance, and healthcare. The review also highlights performance trade-offs, regulatory concerns, and emerging best practices in Pega platform deployment. It concludes with research gaps and recommendations for future comparative studies.
