spektr vs Pega

Where Pega gives you a platform for every enterprise process, spektr gives compliance a system built for its job.

The Pega way

It's a strong fit when you want one platform across many business processes.

Where spektr takes a different route

For Product: launch new markets and flows sooner

A new market, product or customer flow needs the right checks from day one. spektr already connects the eIDs, registries and data providers you'll need, and runs headless via API inside the journeys you've built. Compliance configures the checks in the same system, so a launch doesn't wait on an integration project or a development sprint. One Nordic payments provider shipped a release planned for September in June.

For Operations: keep pace as volume grows

AI agents do the groundwork on every case: registry pulls, ownership, website and licence checks, and screening hits. Confident results move straight through; uncertain ones reach an analyst with the evidence attached. Outreach loops collect missing documents from customers, so the team spends its time on decisions, not chasing. At one fintech, approvals with a person in the loop went from 7 days to under 3 hours.

For Compliance: stay confident in every decision

Compliance stays in control. AI extracts rules from your policies for human approval, and those approved rules govern workflows, agents and decisions. Teams can update processes without development tickets, while every check, decision and approval is recorded with supporting evidence, ready for review.
