Creatio vs. monday CRM

Creatio is well suited in following scenarios: Complex Business process modelling and automation, Low code No code development which is best for efficient timelines, customized reporting and dashboarding, seamless integration with other technologies. Scenarios where Creatio is less appropriate: Solutions which require high cutomizations on the frontend side as this can be done by javascript modifications but it increases the load on the page and slows it down.

I think it's a fantastic tool for a small business or startup. It has many of the same features as other CRMs, and my favorite thing about it are the pre-built Sales Dashboards that generate your forecast, pipeline, deal value, everything you would expect to see when analyzing your sales efforts. I think the parts of it that aren't as scalable are the outbound sales efforts with email. I don't think you can set up drip campaigns or automated workflows through monday the way you can through HubSpot and Salesforce.

• Creatio's client success team is super. The team is collaborative, solution-oriented, and client-driven. We have weekly meetings with the team. They show up prepared with solutions/ideas to business requests and they are clearly engaged.
• Creatio's infrastructure team has been critical to our ability to execute our cloud strategy. They have worked with us to set up our testing and production environments within Azure, assisted in testing, and are responsive and flexible to our unique requirements.
• Creatio has been very flexible to requests for customization. We have taken their low-code out-of-the-box solution and "Ringlerized" it. The benefit for us is an application that meets our niche business needs.

• It is very easy to use and logical. Teams and departments can collaborate together to work as one team.
• It is very useful in automating the processes of relevant departments.
• The field names, types, and data you enter can be customized as per your organization's requirements.

• When we started using Creatio in 2022 the new user interface had just been released and did not include all the features we needed; however, we used a more classic user interface and were still satisfied with the results.
• The ability to capture a digital signature directly within the application was missing in the base system; however, Creatio connected us with a partner that provided a solution for this specific situation.

• Perhaps individual archive boards for individual boards - sometime's it's difficult to locate an archived item to account when something is done so until projects are finished, I often leave items on the board when it could be 'cleaner'
• More color shades for groups and labels
• Keep adding new widgets for dashboards to provide an even greater overview

We have always used a CRM and Creatio has proven to be much more effective in meeting our needs than our previous provider. Its customizability will allow us to adapt this product as our business may change in the future.

The CRM is like clay and as long as the user has a productive and driven mind you can supplement your organization as well as your company.

It's very user friendly, at least to me ;-) No downtime, quick with updates, lot's op possibilities and options to explore and work with. I also realy like to use the Creatio Academy, it's a bit much but in this case less is more is the opposite: the more the better

It was a little tricky when I first set up all of my automations and to kind of navigate my board and create it initially. So now that it's set up it's super easy to use so that's why I gave a seven in this rating.

Other than the daily maintenance window where the server may be inaccessible for a few minutes, there have been no issues with accessing our Creatio site. The daily maintenance window is outside normal business hours so it does not affect our Users - just myself when I am looking to implement changes.

Some Users have reported slow responses from the server at times which seems to be localized. Users are based across four different time zones and the issue is intermittent.

Creatio support is generally very responsive and often responds much faster than the expected SLAs. We have very rarely had "blocking" problems when creating new applications or features, and in all cases, Creatio has been able to help us or direct us to a solution. Overall, we are very satisfied with their support.

We only ever needed to us the FAQs and quick google searches as everything we needed to do was very straightforward and intuitive to do. We found the simple and easy design and interface helped prevent having any issues. A colleague did need to reach out for help and stated that it was quick and useful

Most of the roadblocks to learning were not discovered until the users were actually in the system using it on a day to day basis. Our Customer Success Manager has offered to setup additional training sessions as needed to close the gaps in our learning. Some areas which required some additional training are setting up filters, dashboards, and generating reports.

The project manager for our implementation was great to work with and took the time to understand our business. We felt very comfortable going into the project with a reasonable scope of work to provide us with a functional version of Creatio to meet our needs. Unfortunately, we came across multiple challenges with this partner in their deliverables and timelines. Thankfully Creatio was able to provide support resources to ensure we were able to launch. We have since changed partners for our third-party support.

It was very easy to start using. It is also safe to use lots of trial and error whilst setting up.

Creatio is miles ahead of Infor - now, looking back on Infor, it seems very dated and restricted. I love how you can work things out and change things yourself in Creatio. And if things are a bit more complicated, you have your dedicated team person to help you. We have Olga, who is amazing and really understands what we are trying to achieve.

I personally perfer monday's interface to Asana's, although they are both very similar in concept. I also feel that monday is better suited for cross-functional project management, which is something necessary to the way Dr. Squatch operates. Asana may be better suited to companies who have smaller teams and a simpler scope of project management, but for a company with the complexity of ours, monday's customizable features and ease of visibility was the better suited platform for our needs.

I can see the promise of how it can be customized to other aspects of our business.

• We went from manually processing Work Orders into Invoices once a day - representing significant impact to turn around speeds - to submitting automatically in real time, eliminating a great deal of human transcription errors and freeing up a great deal of operations time

• Better convertion rates, decreasing marketing overall costs to close new oportunities
• Decreasing the sales team cost, because people are more productive and you can get more results with less people
• Increasing the business growth rate, by helping focusing on growth and not only on sales
