Featured Reviews

Yevhen Yukhno - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
BPM workflows have accelerated decisions but complex projects still need better support and pricing
The biggest benefit of using Creatio for my company is the very fast start, but it is a solution aimed at middle and big companies since the minimal price for a license is $10,000 plus some costs for integration. It is not a budget solution for many companies, but it is very powerful and a very fast tracking solution. It is a SaaS solution, and all negatives apply to all SaaS products. It is a problem for clients because if I want to organize a big project, I have some problems with the Creatio environment for testing and development, leading to expensive DevOps operations to synchronize many environments. It is not very well, but I do not know how it can improve.

Senior Manager / IT Planning & Architecture Services at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Easily customizable, automation enhances the marketing campaigns but support is the main hiccup for us
It has been effective in managing customer relationships. It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory. And there are centralized reports for the CEO and the general managers. We work with automation for these marketing and email campaigns. It sends out emails to prospective customers related to sales offers automatically. And it copies the sales team so that they can follow up. They are tracking the sales leads. So, the automation within SugarCRM enhances the marketing campaigns. For now, my work is done because I am the IT strategy and planning manager. I just try to deliver the solution according to the requirements of the business. From my side, it's implemented already, the requirement related to the sales funnel. But if they have any other requirement from the business side, they will submit it to me, and then I will look for a suitable solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup for Creatio is not complicated because they have a big department called Creatio Academy, which provides many materials, including videos and PDF files with step-by-step instructions."
"When comparing to other tools such as Salesforce, which I find complicated to work with personally, Sales Creatio's modules are easier to use with drag and drop functionality and configuration options."
"It provides a customizable platform that enables companies to safely store and recognize customer data, as well as connect multiple channels and other related services."
"Its configurability in terms of being able to change screens and fields and create workflows that are compatible with our business objectives is most valuable."
"With Sales Creatio, you can have a customer service review, and it is GDPR compliant."
"Some of the best features of Sales Creatio are end-user ease of use, user interface, and speed of data entry, and the abundance of features at a very low cost is also notable."
"Intuitive, low-code CRM platform that's easy to integrate and use."
"Creatio is reliable, fast, and fits our goals."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"The performance and stability are fine."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"This solution's stability is very good, it runs almost without effort, and we don't have any support issues with it."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"By default, it comes with a really good model where you can start working with it without having a lot of developers in your team."
"Saying that, it has a small server footprint and is easy to set up."
"Available source code, good documentation, training programs, and a relatively active community, provide the hallmarks for a successful open source effort."
 

Cons

"It is a problem for clients because if I want to organize a big project, I have some problems with the Creatio environment for testing and development, leading to expensive DevOps operations to synchronize many environments."
"Out of the box connectors are great, but the ability of what is there versus other CRMs is limited."
"The biggest area of improvement for me is the mobile app. Creatio has moved towards this composable architecture and user interface, and it looks good and works well on a laptop or tablet. But the mobile app could be improved."
"The calendar needs a lot of improvement."
"Again, honestly, I'm not benefiting from the product the way I should because I don't have a dedicated person to work on it and customize it."
"Creatio's mobile app could be more intuitive."
"The marketing feature needs to be improved. Documentation on their website, or their knowledge base, also needs expansion and improvement."
"To benefit from this software you need to have somebody dedicated to customizing the features you're looking for and, to be honest, I do not have time to focus only on that."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
"You cannot include all your entities under one instance at the moment."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
"Putting so many things into SugarCRM became a much-hated task, mainly because of the horrible UI."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for this solution is more affordable than Salesforce, and the costs are upfront."
"Compared to Salesforce and other applications, Sales Creatio is a cost-effective solution."
"Sales Creatio's enterprise version is $60 per user per month. Other leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for sales automation, such as SAP, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Oracle, are about $150 to $200 a month, and Creatio is $60."
"Creatio's most basic plan, which has Growth, Enterprise, and Ultimate, I use the Enterprise version. It's a fully-featured CRM that includes sales, marketing, and service, along with the studio product."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
