Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
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

"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
"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."
"Email integration is easy."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"With Sales Creatio, you can have a customer service review, and it is GDPR compliant."
"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."
"Intuitive, low-code CRM platform that's easy to integrate and use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Creatio's mobile app could be more intuitive."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The price for this solution is good in general, but in Brazil we do pay additional taxes."
"If one is a very low price and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"Freshsales is an economical product."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The basic price is affordable. The add ons are expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
