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 The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly.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

The solution enables automation of supply chain and invoice processing with comprehensive integration and workflow capabilities
The main valuable features of OpenText AppWorks are the BPM modules. There is the standard BPM modeler and a case modeler. These are two strong features from the workflow layer. Additionally, the integration capability of the solution is beneficial. With these features, we are able to use OpenText AppWorks for automating supply-chain-related problems, vendor process automations, and invoice automations. We have built almost twenty-plus types of solutions and implemented around three hundred fifty-plus implementations. The solution also allows us to integrate it with our ERP system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scalability of Studio Creatio is commendable, and I would rate it eight out of 10."
"Whenever you need a new feature, you can build on top of your session."
"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."
"We were able to build the entire process from scratch in approximately six months until production, and we have been using Studio Creatio for loan origination since that time."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted my organization by making everybody a little more productive in comparison to Zendesk that we did use."
"To have the ability to truly customize and build every internal process just the way our organization prefers."
"We really appreciate the process automation and how can you create human tasks as one of your processes."
"The good part of OpenText AppWorks is that all of its components are together in one platform, including integration capability, UI capability, and workflow capability."
"The monitoring aspect is highly valuable, as it offers an exceptional capability to track every minute of action performed by a business user in the global context."
"We've automated several processes, including purchase requisition to purchase orders, RFQ processes, vendor onboarding, project budgeting, and business case creation. The recent versions of OpenText AppWorks, especially those incorporating low-code functionalities, have had a significant positive impact. In some cases, we've observed a remarkable reduction in development time, ranging from 50 to 75 percent. The MTP model and life cycle have facilitated rapid development cycles."
"Its customer support is reliable and easy to approach."
"From a business perspective, the most valuable aspect lies in the optimization of processes."
"One of the most useful features is the code is customizable, we can make it our own."
"OpenText AppWorks has standard features such as system-to-system and human-to-human integrations, but what I find most valuable in the solution is its monitoring feature that tells you more about your processes, how to restart and how to stop each process, etc."
 

Cons

"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."
"They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load. They already seem to be working on this improvement. Integration with the social networks will be very appreciated by the companies. It will be very useful for communication between the company and customers, that is, B to C relationships. Most of the customers or users have smartphones, and they use a lot of social networks. Companies need to stay connected with the customers. They have enabled integration with WhatsApp and Telegram in recent releases, which has been very useful."
"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."
"They can improve the business rules for defining the type and quantity of the business load."
"The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it."
"Sometimes there is good information available on the internet, and you can find a lot of tutorials and information on Studio Creatio, but it can feel confusing when searching for specific information."
"Customer service rating: 3"
"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page."
"AppWorks could be improved by including BPM simulation."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"OpenText AppWork's low-code capabilities can be enhanced by integrating them with AI offerings like Aviator."
"A room for improvement in OpenText AppWorks is its user interface. It should have mobile compatibility because right now, you still have to make two applications with a user interface for Android and a user interface for iOS, so if OpenText AppWorks can provide one UI that can be used across all devices, that would make the solution better. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of OpenText AppWorks is a better UI in terms of the look and feel. Another feature I'd like to see in the next version of the solution is mobile compatibility because, at the moment, you have to make your application mobile-ready or compatible with mobile devices because there's no provision for it in OpenText AppWorks."
"There could be some improvements with the low code design part. It could be more customizable and more user friendly."
"The crucial missing element is the archival function."
"The integration could improve."
"OpenText needs improvements in its integration model to align with newer integration types."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is fairly competitive."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing for OpenText AppWorks, specifically in the Indian market, is reasonable, but I'm not aware if it's still reasonable outside of India. The licensing cost is based on the number of licenses and the number of users. OpenText AppWorks has different licensing options."
"The licensing cost varies based on several factors, such as the size of the customer and the domain URL."
"There is a user-based perpetual license."
"AppWorks is pretty expensive."
"The price is on the higher side."
