Automation has transformed banking workflows and drives custom process optimization
Based on my six years of experience, I see that Studio Creatio is continuously improving its workflows, materials, and capabilities. I still see potential improvements in certain areas. For example, some capabilities that the system does not have need to be identified so that customers are aware of what is not possible. The system should be designed to allow customers to connect with any system seamlessly rather than just through marketplace applications. It should have the capability to connect with any other system without limitation, as in some projects, while it was able to connect with 100 other systems, there were one, two, or a few that were not compatible. Regarding needed improvements, with respect to use cases and documentation, more comprehensive use cases and in-depth scenarios covering real business situations and solutions are definitely needed. Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app. The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly. Something new in this area is necessary.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"Our lead generation system involves both automated and human tasks. By centralizing the workflow to our internal Bonita BPM system, we have improved the conversion rate (leads to customers) and lowered the number of leads dropped."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Bonita are the connectors, detailed documentation, and web applications. The documentation was useful because it is how I learned how to use it."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management tool."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"In the supply chain process at this paper company, we have reduced waste by 35 percent and increased the speed from the factory to the point of sales by 28 percent because trucks often waited to be loaded due to tiny details about invoices not being ready."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted my organization's productivity by enabling people to achieve more productive results in less time, helping them to manage their personal and professional life because the product is so easy to use, leading to a great sense of achievement among employees."
"The best features Studio Creatio offers are its flexibility and the ability to create applications."
"For example, in the banking sector, I optimized a system that was processing 50 applications per day to be 100% automated, with only delivery requiring human intervention, ultimately achieving processing 500 to 600 cards per day, up from 50 to 60 applications, fully automated with minimal human intervention except when delivery was needed."
"Studio Creatio is a business automation platform and is very versatile, as it can automate most of the management processes that you come across on a day-to-day basis in your corporation."
"I have definitely seen a return on investment with time savings and money savings, as there is a price per license, but this money is coming back to us, making it a worthwhile investment."
"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."
 

Cons

"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"The dashboard has limited features."
"Installation could be made easier. I would like to see more automated processes."
"The support is mandatory to access all features (Subscription), maybe they can have a different business model."
"The menus likely would be more intuitive if read in French. Things seem to be under strange headings at times."
"It would be nice to have a wizard to help walk through the development process and create a backbone."
"I think Studio Creatio can be improved by being more open source because I thought I could make modifications to Studio Creatio, have API keys to develop my own application, and consume the API keys."
"Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app."
"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve."
"I would rate the customer support for Studio Creatio a five out of ten."
"Customer service rating: 3"
"For processes that require logical thinking and are highly complex with less structured flows, I would rate it a six out of ten because Studio Creatio does not excel at logical thinking, which is the key difference."
"I think the learning curve for new users adopting Studio Creatio could be better facilitated with more hands-on training."
"I can have several types of contacts, customers, employees, partners, and so on, and I would like to have a different view for each type of contact in the list view. Currently, there is no way to configure this. This is something I would like Creatio to improve. In this time of COVID, it is very important that all such solutions improve omnichannel communications and omnichannel marketing. Companies need to communicate with customers by using not just the phone number and email but also by using social networks. All companies today need artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and social communication."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"The product is not cheaper, not costlier; it is reasonable. Bonita’s license is very flexible, with options to meet the needs of different customers and clients. Previously, it was less flexible, but now, many different licensing options are available."
"We are using the Community Version, which can be used free of charge."
"From my standpoint, it blows out of the water all the other competitors out there that we were potentially looking at, and it was in a reasonable price range, whereas you have these other Fortune 500 companies that were asking for a ridiculous amount."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
"It is fairly competitive."
"There is a license required for this solution."
