Pega and jBPM are both BPM (Business Process Management) tools that can be used to automate workflows. They provide visual drag-and-drop process design interfaces, support integration with third-party systems and databases and enable rule-based process automation for business decisions.

But old-good Pega (available since 1983) is a proprietary software that primarily targets large-scale enterprises and complex processes. It offers a full-stack solution, including CRM and AI-driven capabilities with strong focus on low-code/no-code development.

jBPM (2005) is an open-source project supported by Red Hat (based in the Netherlands) that targets both small and large business. It's designed to be embedded into custom Java applications and provides lightweight, flexible workflow capabilities with open-source licensing.
