Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
Sales Manager Managed Services and Digital Solutions at Alosys Communications
Cheaply-priced and does not require much customizations
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. At the moment, the tool functions quite well for our needs. Around five people use the tool. In the future, my company might plan to increase the use of the solution. Currently, all the sales people in our company use the product.
Yevhen Yukhno - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
BPM workflows have accelerated decisions but complex projects still need better support and pricing
The biggest benefit of using Creatio for my company is the very fast start, but it is a solution aimed at middle and big companies since the minimal price for a license is $10,000 plus some costs for integration. It is not a budget solution for many companies, but it is very powerful and a very fast tracking solution. It is a SaaS solution, and all negatives apply to all SaaS products. It is a problem for clients because if I want to organize a big project, I have some problems with the Creatio environment for testing and development, leading to expensive DevOps operations to synchronize many environments. It is not very well, but I do not know how it can improve.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."
"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable."
"I like Freshsales because it's integrated with Shopify which we use to host our website."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"Email integration is easy."
"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"With Sales Creatio, you can have a customer service review, and it is GDPR compliant."
"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."
"Intuitive, low-code CRM platform that's easy to integrate and use."
"There's not a single CRM out there that is quite as flexible as Creatio CRM."
"I like Creatio's workflows, automation, and no-code features that we can update as we wish."
"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."
"The initial setup for Creatio is not complicated because they have a big department called Creatio Academy, which provides many materials, including videos and PDF files with step-by-step instructions."
"Some of the best features of Sales Creatio are end-user ease of use, user interface, and speed of data entry, and the abundance of features at a very low cost is also notable."
 

Cons

"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."
"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"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 mobile application gave us many issues as it appeared poorly developed. The client was not satisfied with the mobile application and raised concerns about it."
"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."
"Out of the box connectors are great, but the ability of what is there versus other CRMs is limited."
"There is still some room for improvement in the overall look and feel of the software."
"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."
"Sales Creatio should include better customizations."
"The marketing feature needs to be improved. Documentation on their website, or their knowledge base, also needs expansion and improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshsales is an economical product."
"The basic price is affordable. The add ons are expensive."
"The price for this solution is good in general, but in Brazil we do pay additional taxes."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"If one is a very low price and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"Pricing for this solution is more affordable than Salesforce, and the costs are upfront."
"Compared to Salesforce and other applications, Sales Creatio is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
