Automation has transformed banking workflows and drives custom process optimization
Based on my six years of experience, I see that Studio Creatio is continuously improving its workflows, materials, and capabilities. I still see potential improvements in certain areas. For example, some capabilities that the system does not have need to be identified so that customers are aware of what is not possible. The system should be designed to allow customers to connect with any system seamlessly rather than just through marketplace applications. It should have the capability to connect with any other system without limitation, as in some projects, while it was able to connect with 100 other systems, there were one, two, or a few that were not compatible. Regarding needed improvements, with respect to use cases and documentation, more comprehensive use cases and in-depth scenarios covering real business situations and solutions are definitely needed. Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app. The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly. Something new in this area is necessary.

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 easy to use."
"We use the on-premises deployment model and the Bonita Community Edition of the solution."
"Process automation with Bonita BPM is really easy."
"Flexible and drag-and-drop type of UI is very valuable. The integrations are also very good. You can build workflows very quickly, which is my favorite activity. By using the GUI, you can build the entire mechanism, notifications, and all this kind of stuff."
"I find process management and user interface designing the most valuable features."
"The Connector implementation is a great addition to an out-of-box solution providing robust features for the developer to build hassle-free integrations."
"Of the three BPM vendors I evaluated, Bonita was the best in creating forms, ease of customization of forms, and versatility of supported platforms, and it is the only BPM platform that I've seen so far that allows for versioning of artifacts."
"It is more than helpful, it is worth the effort of learning to better our company."
"The low-code tools and business process management that Creatio provides are useful for our internal processes. It is also very easy to use."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"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."
"It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction."
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted our organization by helping us gather very rich client satisfaction scores as a result of implementing it for our customer service team."
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted my organization by making everybody a little more productive in comparison to Zendesk that we did use."
"I am actually impressed by the scalability of Studio Creatio. Thanks to BPM and the still available capability of coding, you can do almost anything."
"Whenever you need a new feature, you can build on top of your session."
 

Cons

"I have run into a lot of problems because there is not enough documentation."
"The documentation and examples definitely could be enhanced."
"The price is good, but I do not like the process instance annual quantity pricing base used today."
"Bonita can improve by offering more flexibility."
"I should be able to park the tasks that are within a process in a kind of container, and dynamically, a super admin should be able to connect these processes. This kind of feature might be helpful."
"The solution is stable. However, we have experienced a few bugs."
"The initial setup is not easy compared to other products."
"So Bonita is easy to use but it seems to be missing some powerful features that competing products have."
"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."
"I think Studio Creatio can be improved by being more open source because I thought I could make modifications to Studio Creatio, have API keys to develop my own application, and consume the API keys."
"The AI capabilities are a little bit lacking right now; it is not reliable enough to use in everyday operations or even in the development or implementation phases."
"For processes that require logical thinking and are highly complex with less structured flows, I would rate it a six out of ten because Studio Creatio does not excel at logical thinking, which is the key difference."
"Mobile users are quite frustrated, so the system needs more modern features, modern user interfaces, and an independent development module for the mobile app."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"Studio Creatio can be improved because they oversell its AI capabilities out of the box, and there are lots of configurations that need to happen; it is not readily available to use just with one click, as configurations and training must occur before it yields management results."
"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Enterprise edition is very expensive."
"I believe this is a very good financial choice."
"Licensing cost for the Enterprise edition comes out to be around 40,000 a year. There is also a Community edition, which is free. Some customers can go for the Community edition, but some of them require the Enterprise edition. Big companies go for the Enterprise edition, which comes with a lot of additional features such as a mobile app."
"I am using the free version of Bonita."
"Price to service ratio with Bonita BPM is good."
"You pay an annual fee and can have an unlimited number of processes and users."
"have installed the image of Bonita BPM on Amazon AWS and there is just one option to use and pay for."
"The price is fair for what we are using the solution for."
"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"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."
"The pricing plans are not user-friendly because in many cases you have to buy different options to get additional features."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"It is fairly competitive."
