Leveraging process automation and advanced tools for streamlined operations
The process of process automation, specifically utilizing the BPM process designer, is at the core of our operations. To effectively navigate our solutions, we rely on a combination of essential components. These include the process designer, web service integration, and machine learning capabilities. Web service integration, for instance, is crucial. It allows us to access data from external sources, such as banks, for currency rate updates. This feature is indispensable for handling different currencies and maintaining up-to-date information. The machine learning tool provided by Studio Creatio plays a pivotal role. It assists us in configuring customer data and gaining insights into client behavior. This functionality has the potential to revolutionize how to approach issues like case reporting and forecasting possible solutions. It can also identify patterns and behaviors among customers, enabling to employ machine learning for similar tasks. Another valuable tool is dynamic case management (DCM). When combined with business process automation, DCM empowers us to manage complex documents and their lifecycles with precision. The flexibility of DCM proves vital for addressing specific customer needs. Notably, our reliance on coding has diminished significantly. In most cases, we find ourselves writing just a single line of code or occasionally making minor calls to specific tasks. Despite working on projects spanning several months, I can confidently say that I've rarely exceeded writing a hundred lines of code. This underscores the incredible efficiency of our approach, as we can meet even the most intricate customer requirements with minimal coding.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Creatio also provides us with scalability, performance and agility."
"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."
"The pre-configured CRM functionalities regarding the accounts management and contact activities is very good. It's easy to develop workflows."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution"
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform."
"The low-code tools and business process management that Creatio provides are useful for our internal processes. It is also very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its simplicity."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."
"It is very easy to build applications on the product."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
 

Cons

"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."
"It appears that at times, our partners might be using Google Translate, resulting in translations lacking context and not being entirely understandable."
"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."
"HRM is an area where Studio Creatio lacks and needs to improve."
"Creatio needs to stabilize their marketplace."
"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."
"I can have several types of contacts, customers, employees, partners, and so on, and I would like to have a different view for each type of contact in the list view. Currently, there is no way to configure this. This is something I would like Creatio to improve. In this time of COVID, it is very important that all such solutions improve omnichannel communications and omnichannel marketing. Companies need to communicate with customers by using not just the phone number and email but also by using social networks. All companies today need artificial intelligence, machine learning, the internet of things, and social communication."
"Numerous options can make implementation confusing."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"Zoho Creator could benefit from improvement in regard to the user interface and user experience of the forms. The forms themselves could benefit from being made more interactive, with increased flexibility and customization options for both developers and users. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"When you're developing database-type applications, there is no way to see the actual database tables. They call them forms, and I don't like that. Zoho should also provide better user guides."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
"Zoho Creator falls short on data management, so we must connect it to other databases to handle larger datasets. However, it may still be sufficient for smaller databases. Better templates and examples for support teams or programming could be improved. Learning the Zoho Creator language, known as "Deluge," can be challenging for native programmers, so having clear examples and training materials would benefit users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the pricing a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It is fairly competitive."
"The plan provided is presented on a monthly basis, giving an idea of the cost each month. However, the actual cost is calculated and charged on a yearly or annual basis. The cost is displayed in a detailed manner, breaking down the amount charged annually, and presenting it in a monthly format."
"Zoho Creator is the cheapest option in the market right now that can deliver this level of quality."
"I rate the solution an eight out of ten for pricing since it is really cheap."
