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

"Intuitive, low-code CRM platform that's easy to integrate and use."
"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."
"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."
"With Sales Creatio, you can have a customer service review, and it is GDPR compliant."
"I like Creatio's workflows, automation, and no-code features that we can update as we wish."
"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."
"The best thing about Zoho CRM is that it is integrated with other Zoho applications."
"Zoho CRM has a location-based feature where if I'm visiting certain customers in a day, it can indicate to me the most efficient route. However, this is if the location of all the offices or places is updated, it saves my time. The calendar in Zoho CRM is synchronized with Google Calander which is very useful for me."
"The solution has an efficient notification feature."
"We can customize the solution the way we want to."
"Its initial setup process for the cloud-based version is straightforward."
"The most valuable solution of Zoho CRM is lead management and analytics. It has a powerful analytics tool."
"Zoho CRM provides excellent value for money."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho CRM is its ease of use."
 

Cons

"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."
"Creatio's mobile app could be more intuitive."
"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."
"There is still some room for improvement in the overall look and feel of the software."
"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."
"Sales Creatio should include better customizations."
"Out of the box connectors are great, but the ability of what is there versus other CRMs is limited."
"Custom development is often necessary to make such extensive changes, and it does come with associated costs."
"I have issues with the tool's scalability."
"There was a challenge while deploying Zoho when we brought an API code. Because integrations "aren't perfect" for every organization."
"Zoho CRM’s customer service can be a little difficult to reach sometimes."
"The main area for improvement is how the solution handles leads. Leads are separated and always tied to a contact, which makes it difficult to maintain leads within a company. This could be handled better."
"The reporting for developers should be improved."
"There are at least two big pieces. One is just the ability to reorganize the data and clean it up to eliminate duplicates and things like that. It is very manual at the moment. It only gives us certain fields that we can check on. Because of our particular database, it creates a problem. We deal with hospitals, and there are 50 hospitals. It is tough to figure out which one is which. Is it this one or the other one? So, trying to clean things up is very difficult. I'd like to have more ability to share data fields. The data is structured into different buckets, and I frequently have to create the same field in two different buckets. It would be nice if I could just do a view-only field in another bucket. In my contact bucket, I would like to be able to have just a view-only of the account information so that I don't need to enter it again, which is what I have to do currently."
"The support is not quite good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Pricing for this solution is more affordable than Salesforce, and the costs are upfront."
"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."
"The tool started out quite cheap. It's had some changes with small and medium business subscriptions, but it's still worth the price. I'd say it's priced a bit below the medium range."
"Compared to other CRMs, it is very cheap."
"We pay for an annual license to use this solution."
"Professional plans cost $35 per user in the USA and EUR 35 in Europe."
"There is an annual license."
"Zoho CRM is available at a fairly average price"
"This solution is less expensive than Salesforce."
"We have an annual license fee that costs $12,000."
