Offers agility and how quickly it can be modified to meet the workflows of any organization
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. Only half of the mobile app uses the new architecture, and I believe their roadmap is to fully update it so there's a consistent user interface throughout the mobile app. Some of it uses the older Creatio technology, some of it's newer, and I think they're aiming to have it fully updated sometime in the second quarter. That will be a big jump. It supports the remote sales team, but it could be a lot better. Creatio needs to move the mobile app update higher on its priority list. We can see a difference when we look at other mobile CRM solutions out there – Creatio's mobile app isn't as fresh as other parts of the application. The other area I'd like to see Creatio improve – is the development of a robust field service application or enhancement to their existing Service Creatio module. It should be a separate product called Creatio Field Service. Field service is important because it addresses the large number of workers out there who aren't desk-bound, and that really corresponds with the mobile app improvements.

Diverse integrations assist in seamlessly aligning marketing efforts with sales tracking
Zoho CRM is flexible due to its integrations, like with Zoho Campaign, helping integrate marketing efforts with CRM processes. It offers a no-cost entry with the ability for three users to use it at no charge, which is beneficial for startups to explore the platform without financial strain. This enables me to start using the platform, handle opportunities, and get a feel before committing financially.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Each step of the customer journey is recorded by certain metrics and KPIs. If you want to do a lot deeper dive with Excel pivot tables or third-party analytics tools like Qlik or Tableau, that's an option."
"Intuitive, low-code CRM platform that's easy to integrate and use."
"With Sales Creatio, you can have a customer service review, and it is GDPR compliant."
"There's not a single CRM out there that is quite as flexible as Creatio CRM."
"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."
"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."
"I like Creatio's workflows, automation, and no-code features that we can update as we wish."
"The camera feature is valuable because it provides a look and feel."
"I think the whole pipeline tracking is most useful for us."
"The initial setup is pretty fast."
"Its initial setup process for the cloud-based version is straightforward."
"I like that it is easy to get data in and out of it. We can export and import CSV files. I also like that the database is hierarchical, which allows me to be able to look at a parent and multiple children."
"Zoho CRM handles the entire customer relationship management, from lead generation to workflows, reports, and lead qualification."
"The whole forecasting and pipeline management is very good."
"We can customize the solution the way we want to."
 

Cons

"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."
"On the sales side, I would like to see a CPQ product, and on the services side, I'd like to see more of a field service automation feature."
"The marketing feature needs to be improved. Documentation on their website, or their knowledge base, also needs expansion and improvement."
"Sales Creatio should include better customizations."
"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."
"Creatio's mobile app could be more intuitive."
"There is still some room for improvement in the overall look and feel of the software."
"Out of the box connectors are great, but the ability of what is there versus other CRMs is limited."
"Pricing for Zoho CRM could be improved because it is expensive. My company also needs some analytics, so it would be good if Zoho CRM had built-in analytics."
"Zoho CRM’s customer service can be a little difficult to reach sometimes."
"This solution needs a more user-friendly interface."
"In Creator, you can do calculations and change another field immediately after you enter any value. If you add the quantity or price in any field, you can immediately change the total in Creator. The same functionality is not directly available in CRM because it is prebuilt."
"I'd like the solution to offer more integrations with other products."
"I would like to see better integration with Zoho Creator."
"Since Zoho CRM is not made for the enterprise kind of company, its stability for enterprise businesses could be improved."
"What needs improvement in Zoho CRM is the UI. It needs to be more user-friendly. I like Salesforce better than Zoho CRM in terms of the UI, so if Zoho CRM can make some UI changes, that would make the tool better."
 

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."
"Compared to other CRMs, it is very cheap."
"Compared to other solutions, I would say Zoho CRM is very, very affordable because we can use different applications with one license."
"The licensing is the subscription, where we pay $50 per month per user."
"This solution is less expensive than Salesforce."
"We consider it a good value and found it to be cost-effective."
"Its price is lower than the other software."
"It is around $1000 a month."
"I rate the product a four out of ten. The cost for Zoho CRM is not fixed; different editions are available, and the features depend on the edition chosen. Some capabilities, such as integrating with workflows, might incur additional costs, but these are well-documented and not hidden."
