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 The current mobile app is outdated, and I cannot customize it accordingly.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

Powerful workflow definition enhances operational stability and efficiency
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is powerful for defining workflows. It is low code, so you don't need a lot of coding, and tasks are just drag and drop. It is also very stable as we haven't had issues with it going down or encountering any operational issues for a long time. The stability and rich features in workflow definition make it a valuable tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For example, in the banking sector, I optimized a system that was processing 50 applications per day to be 100% automated, with only delivery requiring human intervention, ultimately achieving processing 500 to 600 cards per day, up from 50 to 60 applications, fully automated with minimal human intervention except when delivery was needed."
"Overall, Studio Creatio is a very good, flexible tool, and I appreciate that innovation is always present, which is very good for continually evolving cutting-edge technology."
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted my organization's productivity by enabling people to achieve more productive results in less time, helping them to manage their personal and professional life because the product is so easy to use, leading to a great sense of achievement among employees."
"It is a low-code platform, that is very intuitive."
"Studio Creatio has positively impacted my organization by making everybody a little more productive in comparison to Zendesk that we did use."
"I have definitely seen a return on investment with time savings and money savings, as there is a price per license, but this money is coming back to us, making it a worthwhile investment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a low-code and no-code platform."
"Creatio Studio offers excellent features including a no-code and low-code development platform that enables you to complete entire projects in less time."
"The scheduling and the calendar are very useful."
"For specific situations this can be a good solution and a simplified interface to work with."
"The TIBCO product helped us solve an interfacing issue between platforms that may have been more difficult with other products."
"The capacity for distributing the jobs in a workflow is an important feature."
"It is the best product because of its stability, ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production and the downtime is very low, I have worked on a lot of service projects and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable."
"It is the best product because of its stability. ActiveMatrix 5.x is highly stable in production, and the downtime is very low. I have worked on a lot of service projects, and the engine is very stable, robust, and scalable. The development and change requests can be pushed quickly, and the mapper activity and SSLT kind of features are also good. It is easy to do changes, testing, and deployment. Its deployment is very easy, and we can automate a lot of scripts for our on-premises solution. I work for an investment bank, and we have automated a lot of processes for our customers. Previously, we used to develop scripts and tools. With version 6.x, everything is moved to Maven and other things. Environment handling is done mostly through DevOps tools. As compared to Mulesoft, the deployment and configuration are very easy in TIBCO."
"The customization is the most valuable feature, the BPM is very good, the interface is very user-friendly, and I like that it's an end-to-end product and complete solution."
"The workflow feature works very well, we also get very good notifications at each and every stage on where the installation process is, the integrations are very good, the scheduling and the calendar are very useful, and in the onboarding they integrate into our internal Active Directory so we don't have any problems with the BPM, it works."
 

Cons

"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."
"I think the learning curve for new users adopting Studio Creatio could be better facilitated with more hands-on training."
"If you really want a BI-capable tool, it is better to acquire licenses of such products."
"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 would rate customer support a 4 on a scale from 1 to 10 because there is no support available unless it is through a consultancy that we hire, and there is not Studio Creatio's own local support in my region."
"Based on my experience, the company's pricing, setup cost, and licensing are somewhat high."
"The way bpm's infrastructure works, you can only have one data source on a page."
"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."
"The product is missing some means of addressing more complex BPM constructs and should interface with more platforms easily."
"TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft, TIBCO took the steps a little later."
"The solution is crazy-expensive."
"It is not lightweight and requires a lot of disk space, memory, and CPU."
"My experience with tech support has not been very good. Most of the time, issues are escalated to level three, where they are either unresolved or take two weeks to address."
"ActiveMatrix is in the middle field. MuleDB is more on the engineering side with Java and other things. SnapLogic is there are on the higher side with very low coding. TIBCO stays in the middle like IBM or Oracle. TIBCO can move towards IBM's way of doing. IBM has a big market and many varieties of products and good integration, which TIBCO doesn't have. It can have better integration. TIBCO's transition to the cloud is a little slow. As compared to Dell, Boomi, and Mulesoft. TIBCO took the steps a little later. TIBCO's ID was far better and easier to work with previously. TIBCO's 5.x ID was very good, and the development environment and the transition were easy. Version 6.5 onwards, it is a stable product, but it would be good if they can do something similar to version 5.4 with version 6. They should concentrate on this API market. It will give them the strength and the ability to grab the market back."
"Technical support needs to be streamlined."
"The scalability of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"The tool is reasonably priced."
"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."
"TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is an expensive tool compared to others."
"There are some discussions about perpetual licenses and conversions, but I'm not much familiar with them."
