IBM Cloud Pak for Automation vs Studio Creatio comparison

"What this product allows us to do is to move from on-prem instances where we are running independent instances of FileNet, Datacap, and ODM, and leverage container-based resiliency and availability modeling so that we have visibility across the CP4BA ecosystem while migrating all of our data to Cloud Object Storage and using Azure features for how we store and retrieve content for our members and providers."

"I believe two significant features of IBM Cloud Pak for Automation are the focus on SLA management and the capability to handle parallel instances effectively. Parallel instances, for instance, are valuable when dealing with a large number of users, enabling tasks to be performed concurrently for efficient system operation. The SLA aspect is crucial for tracking and ensuring timely completion of tasks. Additionally, the cloud compatibility of IBM BAW allows for seamless migration from on-premises to the cloud. This version also includes a business rule management system for storing and managing business rules effectively."

"What this product allows us to do is to move from on-prem instances where we are running independent instances of FileNet, Datacap, and ODM. It allows us to leverage container-based resiliency and availability modeling so that we have some visibility across the CP4BA ecosystem. We're now migrating all of our data to be in the Cloud Object Storage, and we can now use some of the features of Azure in terms of how we store and retrieve content for our members and our providers."

"We recommend this solution to all our customers because of its functionalities and potential."

"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."

"Studio Creatio is a very good and complete solution; it is very stable, and for customers who need a good response time, in the public cloud, Creatio provides the possibility to have a private server for a high level of transactions and good response time."

"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."

"The most valuable features are performance, built-in variety of multiple task automation, and has international standards notations."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform."

"This product enables users to structure its business and completely automate, as it is a very easy to use low code platform and helps fast usage of multiple process elements such as user pages, tasks, predefined emails, and decision tasks."

"The tool enables users to work offline through the mobile application."

"One of the challenges we're having is finding vendors who have experience in developing on the cloud. We can find developers on the old platform, but it is leading-edge technology. So, we are having some challenges, and IBM is assisting us to find vendor partners. To be able to leverage all the capabilities of the new platform, we have to upgrade our existing ecosystem of FileNet applications. Upgrading to the new platform while trying to modernize is always challenging because it is like you have a moving target."

"I believe there is room for improvement in the user interface, particularly in the Process Portal that customers use to view and manage their tasks. The UI of the Process Portal needs enhancement. Additionally, in the next release, I would like to see improved compatibility with Angular, allowing for direct integration with front-end systems. It would be beneficial to have built-in GUI features based on Angular within the system, rather than developing separate applications externally. This, in turn, would provide a more seamless and enhanced front-end experience."

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

"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."

"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."

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

"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page."

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

"Its cost is almost the same or comparable to what we pay with FileNet, but I'm not sure what we pay a year. A good part of CP4BA is the CPU-based licensing model. When we're dealing with 50,000 dentists, for example, if we were to use Salesforce, we would be hit with the licensing of 50,000 dentists, whereas when we build out in CP4BA, it is just based on our CPU usage, not on individual licenses."

"IBM Cloud Pak for Automation is relatively expensive, especially considering it is designed for long-living processes, not for normal automation needs. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the pricing at around 9. There are no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees, but IBM has multiple pricing models that make it expensive in its own way. Different plans are available, but overall, the experience suggests it is a costly solution."

"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."

"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."

"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."

"There is a license required for this solution."

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

"It is fairly competitive."
