Flexible and granular security options, good filtering, and the pricing model is cost-effective

The vendor does a really poor job of marketing this software because it should be more popular. This is something that I have pointed out to them. It's a super piece of software, but very few people are aware of it. I am an EX-IT director and I've worked in big systems, and I'm amazed this solution isn't more popular. The "native" integration with other products could be improved. The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you may have to use HTML and CSS to make it look more modern or to match a clients existing look. The documentation is amazing, although they don't do videos and their YouTube channel is very poor. They could create some training videos.

Customizable, easy to use, and has good built-in dashboards

The tool is available on the cloud as well as on-premise. The ease of setup depends on the complexity of the project. In most cases, we just connect and work. We must create our own team and find a partner to build our own application. If we need to create something new, it will take time. I rate the ease of setup of the cloud version a ten out of ten. However, I would rate the ease of setup of the on-premise version a five or six out of ten. The on-premise version takes longer to deploy. The cloud version can be deployed within minutes. We receive a license key and start working. If all the components are ready, we can deploy the on-premise version within ten days.

Cons

"The user interface for the systems that you build can use some improvement because as it is now, you have to do a lot of HTML and CSS to make it look modern."

"I can have several types of contacts, customers, employees, partners, and so on, and I would like to have a different view for each type of contact in the list view. Currently, there is no way to configure this. This is something I would like Creatio to improve. In this time of COVID, it is very important that all such solutions improve omnichannel communications and omnichannel marketing. Companies need to communicate with customers by using not just the phone number and email but also by using social networks. All companies today need artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and social communication."

"They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load. They already seem to be working on this improvement. Integration with the social networks will be very appreciated by the companies. It will be very useful for communication between the company and customers, that is, B to C relationships. Most of the customers or users have smartphones, and they use a lot of social networks. Companies need to stay connected with the customers. They have enabled integration with WhatsApp and Telegram in recent releases, which has been very useful."

"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."

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

"Studio Creatio is a new product in the market, making its lack of maturity an area of concern."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product has really good value, as it doesn't have a per-user cost, there's a flat fee."

"There is a license required for this 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."

"I rate the product price a five or six 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."

"It is fairly competitive."
