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:
 

Pros

"The retention module is one of the most valuable features. Whatever we scan onto the system can be identified and we are notified when the records are due to be disposed."
"The solution is very developed and we are not taking full advantage of its functionalities."
"It provided data security features, allowing restrictions on sensitive documents, such as who could view or modify them."
"The most valuable features are that it's very secure and provides audit trails for our documents."
"OnBase is a remarkable tool. It is a well-done product. Hyland has a lot of experience in building it and looking for new things for clients in terms of functionalities. It has amazing stability, and it can grow horizontally and vertically. It is built for growth. Their technical support is also quite good and available throughout the year."
"Hyland OnBase is valued for its security, especially for those in the finance domain who require data confidentiality."
"Its most valuable aspect is its flexibility"
"The solution's most valuable features are integration and flexibility."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"It enables automating tasks and provides self-service options, ultimately improving efficiency and customer satisfaction."
"The most valuable features are performance, built-in variety of multiple task automation, and has international standards notations."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"The scalability of Studio Creatio is commendable, and I would rate it eight out of 10."
"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."
"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. Their support is great. They are very good, and they know the solution very well. Their response time is also great."
"Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility."
 

Cons

"The application could potentially be more open-source, allowing integration with more solutions."
"The look and feel could be better. The integration with the user could be better. It could also be more user-friendly."
"The solution’s initial setup is a little difficult."
"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."
"Software malfunctioning usually occurs when we receive documents from external sources."
"We need to troubleshoot why our reports didn't get downloaded in a day. There is a workflow feature which powerful but also complicated."
"The migration is a bit difficult in the tool."
"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."
"Studio Creatio is a new product in the market, making its lack of maturity an area of concern."
"It does not have the ability to run one single large process."
"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."
"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."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"Numerous options can make implementation confusing."
"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it."
"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."
