Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
A simple and lightweight college course automation system with third-party integrations
The initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with the environment within an hour. First, take the latest from the git repository and check the git code to the monitor studio and a bar file, a deployable Bonita archive file. Then, take that process to the Bonita server, running at runtime on another server. Finally, deploy and enable it by selecting the proper organization.
HaroldBusby - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers agility and how quickly it can be modified to meet the workflows of any organization
The biggest area of improvement for me is the mobile app. Creatio has moved towards this composable architecture and user interface, and it looks good and works well on a laptop or tablet. But the mobile app could be improved. Only half of the mobile app uses the new architecture, and I believe their roadmap is to fully update it so there's a consistent user interface throughout the mobile app. Some of it uses the older Creatio technology, some of it's newer, and I think they're aiming to have it fully updated sometime in the second quarter. That will be a big jump. It supports the remote sales team, but it could be a lot better. Creatio needs to move the mobile app update higher on its priority list. We can see a difference when we look at other mobile CRM solutions out there – Creatio's mobile app isn't as fresh as other parts of the application. The other area I'd like to see Creatio improve – is the development of a robust field service application or enhancement to their existing Service Creatio module. It should be a separate product called Creatio Field Service. Field service is important because it addresses the large number of workers out there who aren't desk-bound, and that really corresponds with the mobile app improvements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Compared to other products on the market, Bonita presents a pretty acceptable level of robustness."
"The solution is easy to use."
"This product is very easy-to-use and user-friendly."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"I really enjoy using the workflow management."
"Bonita is user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. Even the older versions are stable."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"I like Creatio's workflows, automation, and no-code features that we can update as we wish."
"Its configurability in terms of being able to change screens and fields and create workflows that are compatible with our business objectives is most valuable."
"There's not a single CRM out there that is quite as flexible as Creatio CRM."
"It provides a customizable platform that enables companies to safely store and recognize customer data, as well as connect multiple channels and other related services."
"Each step of the customer journey is recorded by certain metrics and KPIs. If you want to do a lot deeper dive with Excel pivot tables or third-party analytics tools like Qlik or Tableau, that's an option."
"Intuitive, low-code CRM platform that's easy to integrate and use."
"With Sales Creatio, you can have a customer service review, and it is GDPR compliant."
 

Cons

"There could be an improvement in IoT connectivity."
"The community edition has limited module functionality. If they could release some of the functionality that's available in the enterprise edition that would be helpful to those learning to use the solution."
"There is a considerable learning curve."
"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."
"Automation in vacation of a human resources replacement would be a good improvement in the product."
"The interface is advanced and quite good, but it could improve."
"I would like to improve the product's load balancing."
"The main issue with Bonita is that the workspace crashes sometimes."
"There is still some room for improvement in the overall look and feel of the software."
"Out of the box connectors are great, but the ability of what is there versus other CRMs is limited."
"To benefit from this software you need to have somebody dedicated to customizing the features you're looking for and, to be honest, I do not have time to focus only on that."
"The marketing feature needs to be improved. Documentation on their website, or their knowledge base, also needs expansion and improvement."
"Creatio's mobile app could be more intuitive."
"The biggest area of improvement for me is the mobile app. Creatio has moved towards this composable architecture and user interface, and it looks good and works well on a laptop or tablet. But the mobile app could be improved."
"On the sales side, I would like to see a CPQ product, and on the services side, I'd like to see more of a field service automation feature."
"Sales Creatio should include better customizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is acceptable. Pricing is yearly."
"The Community Edition comes free of charge."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"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."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"Sales Creatio's enterprise version is $60 per user per month. Other leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for sales automation, such as SAP, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle, are about $150 to $200 a month, and Creatio is $60."
"Creatio's most basic plan, which has Growth, Enterprise, and Ultimate, I use the Enterprise version. It's a fully-featured CRM that includes sales, marketing, and service, along with the studio product."
"Compared to Salesforce and other applications, Sales Creatio is a cost-effective solution."
"Pricing for this solution is more affordable than Salesforce, and the costs are upfront."
