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 The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly.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.

A great ERP for medium and even small businesses
If one has experience in the ERP market, big brands like Microsoft require a lot of money over other platforms like Odoo. We can implement an on-premise model for some enterprise customers because it gives privacy and security. For other customers, we provide the cloud version. Currently, we recommend customers implement the ERP platform on the cloud environment because of the flexibility and scaling. I recommend that customers invest in a solution with the possibility of scaling in the future while providing many functions and features out of the box. In many ERPs we provide, although we would recommend ELMA as a default option for medium and even enterprise customers, they need bigger brands. ELMA 365 should be the second or third option for customers right now. I rate ELMA 365 a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"Whenever you need a new feature, you can build on top of your session."
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted my organization mostly by speeding up the process at which clients can open an account, and we tried to shorten the time on an automatic flow to make it easier and reduce the time needed to open the account and ensure the entire workflow functions optimally."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"In the supply chain process at this paper company, we have reduced waste by 35 percent and increased the speed from the factory to the point of sales by 28 percent because trucks often waited to be loaded due to tiny details about invoices not being ready."
"The solution is very good, very stable, and is being continuously improved with new versions every two months."
"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
 

Cons

"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."
"If you really want a BI-capable tool, it is better to acquire licenses of such products."
"It would take some time because of lagging. Everybody would have to stop doing it and maybe do it when everybody has finished their work, probably at night shift if everybody is in day shift or after business hours."
"Studio Creatio can be improved since it sometimes requires a minimum operating system memory requirement, which was an issue for me initially when installing it, and a more lightweight version would allow individuals with less hardware to work with it."
"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."
"It does not have the ability to run one single large process."
"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page."
"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."
"Customers want improved productivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
