"The most valuable features of the solution are its CRM functionality and the fact that it is a no-code solution""The business process management is definitely the most valuable feature.

Cons
"Fixing bugs is difficult because of how the HTML code is generated. It is not always broadly compatible with browsers.""Apex has effectively incorporated new market trends into its features. The platform's user-friendly nature is notable, guiding developers through the development process. While advanced customization of the user interface with HTML and CSS is possible, the out-of-the-box options often suffice, providing 80-90% of the required functionality. The IDE is commendable, yet an enhancement in the Page Designer to allow a real-time preview of layout changes would be beneficial. Currently, running the page is necessary to visualize layout adjustments, but an immediate preview during the design phase would be a valuable improvement.""Being able to only design with HTML and CSS can be limiting as to what can be accomplished.""During the upcoming versions, we can modify the current configuration.""Source control could be stronger in Oracle Application Express (APEX). It needs some work.""I would like to see easier integration into active directory authentication. Also, maybe integration of JavaScript frameworks would resolve some issues.""Connecting with Oracle and the relation with Oracle at the database as a procedure needs improvement.""It would be beneficial to include WebSockets so that you can see real-time updates."

"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.""The mobile version of the solution could be improved. It's hard to customize it.""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.""Studio Creatio is a new product in the market, making its lack of maturity an area of concern.""Numerous options can make implementation confusing.""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 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 does not have the ability to run one single large process."
