Seamless data management enhances security while monolithic architecture and reporting need improvements

I believe the reporting features need improvement, as other competitors in the market provide better analytics. Hyland is working on a new platform (HXP) to integrate features from all products, addressing some concerns. Additionally, there could be more integration points with products Hyland has acquired, such as Alfresco and Nuxeo. Offering a trial version with basic features would allow users to experience the product before purchasing. I find OnBase's monolithic architecture to be expensive, and adopting microservices could be beneficial.

Customer data has driven better decisions and highlights where workflow automation still needs improvement

The downside of Studio Creatio is when it is marketed as a no-code platform, it does not support creating any website or mobile application. It is an ecosystem or environment within which a user, developer, or implementation partner has to develop process automation. It is not a drag-and-drop tool to create an application. It is a workflow automation process and enterprise-grade application where an understanding of the platform is essential to use Studio Creatio. It is not an absolute no-code solution. There are some areas with no-code flexibilities, but for specific business use cases or workflows, an understanding of the Studio Creatio ecosystem and .NET technologies is essential.

Quotes from Members

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

"Integrating Hyland OnBase with our systems enabled us to automate document designs and templates, which was extremely helpful in the finance and banking industry."

"The solution is very developed and we are not taking full advantage of its functionalities."

"Its most valuable aspect is its flexibility"

"The product's initial setup phase is not difficult."

More Hyland OnBase pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."

"The business process management is definitely the most valuable feature. What Creatio ended up doing with their software solution is giving you the power, in your own hands, in a way that is incredibly intuitive and well-structured."

"Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility."

"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."

More Studio Creatio pros

Cons

"For user experience, they would have to do more with the interface. It is not easy to work with and is a little messy. It is getting better, but it is not yet good enough. Other products are comparatively doing better in terms of the user interface. I have been hearing about Box, which is very easy to use and learn for the users. OnBase has to work on this aspect. It should have BPM capabilities. We compete with tools that provide the BPM feature and support those standards. They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."

"The dashboards do have some room for improvement as compared to the other vendors which are there in the market."

"Software malfunctioning usually occurs when we receive documents from external sources."

"The look and feel could be better. The integration with the user could be better. It could also be more user-friendly."

"We are struggling with duplicates and would like to have OCR functionality when using this solution."

"We found the size of images to be a restriction, though this may have been due to the API used rather than the Hyland application."

"An area for improvement would be the training - getting our people up to speed on how to use it required more training than we expected due to the complexity of the solution."

"The solution’s initial setup is a little difficult."

More Hyland OnBase cons

"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve."

"It does not have the ability to run one single large process."

"The solution does not allow extensive customization of the UI. I would like to have much more control over the UI when I build a process. Currently on the UI where the fields are placed and the layout is set in place and you cannot change it. Your experience is going to be the same throughout whatever use case that you are building from customer to customer. You can not have much control over how it looks for each customer. This is an area where they can improve on."

"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page. It has to be connected to the object and you're pretty much locked in at that point... If you want to connect anything other than what exists in that object to that object, you're going to have to create a completely new home for it in that object."

"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it."

"The documentation must be more technical."

"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."

"The downside of Studio Creatio is when it is marketed as a no-code platform, it does not support creating any website or mobile application."

More Studio Creatio cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is high."

"OnBase is reasonably priced."

"There are a number of different types of licenses. There are concurrent licenses, individual licenses and imaging licenses."

"They can do better in terms of the pricing model. It is a really expensive tool in Latin America. They should have different prices for different regions."

"The solution costs around $6,000 per month."

"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."

"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The tool is reasonably priced."

"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
