Room For Improvement

Adobe ColdFusion needs modernization through tooling, UI updates, improved documentation, flexible licensing, and better integration with modern frameworks.
Users recommend improving Creatio Studio's AI, interfaces, integrations, support, customization, and dashboards, with focus on intuitive use.
Adobe should invest more in open-source IDE tools to have robust, error-free linting, formatting, and auto-completion standards that match the seamless experience found in environments such as Python.

Featured Reviews

Kalpesh-Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Manager at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Rapid web delivery has improved productivity and now supports faster multi‑client deployments
Adobe ColdFusion should continue modernization with AI and other new technologies. While plugins already exist, the product needs to stay ahead of the curve in making new development changes and fast bug enhancements with new features. Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, you don't want to have everything used automatically via AI. You always want to have control and validation. Someone has to review it, press the button, and approve it before deployments take place. Even with the AI feature, you always want that particular transition where someone has to manually do it. AI is good and can reduce so many things, but you want to have a fail-safe mechanism. Regarding Adobe ColdFusion's AI capabilities, the learning curve is significant. It is a new AI capability, but it is not currently 100 percent. I would say it is about 60 to 70 percent. The technology with AI is new, and the product should continue to improve. There are always gaps that need to be addressed.

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.
