Considered Both Products
Creatio
Chose Creatio
Salesforce CMS, ClientTrack by Eccovia, CaseWorthy and Penelope
Chose Creatio
Creatio was both more affordable and easier to customize than Salesforce, if slightly less robust, and represented an easy decision when we made the switch.
Chose Creatio
We previously used Salesforce as our CRM. While it has great functionality, we found it to be cost prohibitive to always require consultants to configure and update as our business needs or processes changed. No other platform reviewed ticked as many boxes as we needed in its …
Chose Creatio
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 …
Chose Creatio
Although we haven't totally removed Oracle CX Sales, it's less effective due to its outdated sales marketing capabilities unlike Creatio, which offers robust tools at a lower cost.
Chose Creatio
Sure, the low code approach is eating the world and [is] a powerful feature in this CRM. But training time and time for implementation could be much [longer] than expected.
Chose Creatio
We selected Creatio because it's the most optimal system for our current business requirements and their further scale [development]. Also, we valued the support of the vendor and the big community of implement teams.
Chose Creatio
One-stop-shop for your sales and service needs
Chose Creatio
[Creatio is] more flexible and much more economical.
Chose Creatio
Creatio provides powerful features at an affordable cost. It is easy to customize and set up. The user interface is intuitive. It is possible to set up business rules with an easy interface without writing code. The basic setup can be performed by a business user, without …
Chose Creatio
I had used this as an intern, didn't work much on it.
Chose Creatio
Creatio is much faster and more configurable than Salesforce. The first thing that I noticed when migrating from Salesforce to Creatio was how few clicks it took to record activity or create a new task. Similarly, the page loading speed is so much faster which saves me hours …
Chose Creatio
We selected Creatio to replace Hubspot because it was a better fit for our objectives.
Chose Creatio
For this customer, I've been choosing among AmoCRM, Insightly, Bitrix24, Zoho Bigin (and CRM) and many others. The choice of Creatio was predicted mostly by the fact, that the company was using Terrasoft CRM previously. So it was a safe decision and choice to have the same …
Chose Creatio
The system’s UI, rich functionality, and a great potential for scalability made the system stand out among other vendors. It is a fully-fledged solution that allowed us to work with customer data way more efficiently and improve our processes on a regular basis.
Chose Creatio
The user-friendliness of Creatio was a big selling point along with the low-code initiatives, both of which were important to our business. With Salesforce, unlimited wasn't really unlimited. You couldn't deploy an on-site instance and the overall cost of the system far …
Chose Creatio
Creatio stood out from other vendors in terms of both the system’s usability and robustness. We were impressed by the flexibility of customization that the system provides. On top of that, Creatio’s technical support is always very quick to respond and helpful.
Mendix
Chose Mendix
Microsoft is on the higher side of the cost and less user-friendly compared to Mendix. Mendix enables front-end, back-end, and data modeling on a single platform, offering flexibility to utilize custom code where necessary.
Chose Mendix
they are good but Mendix is more of enterprise grade. Mendix has many modules available and ready plug ins
Chose Mendix
Because most of our apps work closely with our main system (ERP) and other tools, we went with Mendix. It's good at easily connecting with lots of different systems, which is exactly what we need. Another thing we like about it is that it can handle growth well, and its pricing …
Chose Mendix
Mendix is more comprehensive in functionality and easier to secure.
Chose Mendix
Most flexible and scalable platform
Chose Mendix
Although I have never worked with Outsystems, Mendix is seen as a platform that can be used more easily by people that do not have an IT background. Mendix is indeed a platform that makes it possible for people with a business background (and are IT minded) to create beautiful …
Chose Mendix
Mendix is more flexible and custom making oriented than Appian. OutSystems is almost the same as Mendix but more directed to the traditional developer, whereas Mendix is trying to make it possible for everyone to be able to model.
Chose Mendix
Powerapps is much harder to learn. It lacks the robustness of Mendix; if a detail is lacking in Powerapps the app won't run and it takes much time to debug.
Mendix is build to work for Scrum teams. I think Microsoft could learn a lot from the way working on one app by diverse …
Chose Mendix
Overall, these have a lot in common, but where Mendix really stands out, is its ability to integrate with multiple (previously existing) systems.
Chose Mendix
Mendix is based on model driven development and uses model interpretation in stead of code generation.
Chose Mendix
We got in touch with Mendix due to a project at a former company I and my companion worked. That company went bankrupt and we decided we could start our own software company with Mendix. We never really had the opportunity to compare it to others, because all other software …
Chose Mendix
You can create applications faster as compared to other products, You can code easily just by creating flow charts, instead of thousands of lines of code. You can manage databases from the domain model of Mendix, you can also manage webservices very easily with Mendix Modeler.
Chose Mendix
I have spent many month/years evaluating and discarding products. Some have cost me time (developers) and money to use the software. The development approach with Mendix means I don't have to pay for developer licenses and only pay when I have an approved solution ready for …
Chose Mendix
Mendix would be my preferred system all the way. The system is designed for these kinds of works. I've worked with WP and DNN but they should be used just for websites. To create an app for a business value, I would suggest Mendix. Also, the offline capabilities of Mendix have …

Likelihood to Recommend
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 well suited if you have data available and you want to create customized solutions for different types of users. Mendix is very good at doing that. It allows you to do it very easily. So those are good use cases.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Using Mendix you can build an application in a week compared to building the same application in Java in 1 month.
  • You can simultaneously build applications for all kinds of devices (Desktop, Mobile and tablets).
  • All in one tool, in Mendix Modeler you can manage databases, webservices, Mendix code , Java code, etc.

Cons
  • 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.
Read full review
  • Earlier versions lacked in UI/Ux. This is still improving.
  • Since everyone and anyone can create custom add ons (widgets), Mendix could improve their quality checks (but not as rigid as eg Apple).
  • Upgradeability used to be somewhat of an issue. Version 7 looks to be handling this better than previous versions.

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.

Usability
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

Drawing from my hands-on experience with Mendix, I can confidently state that the platform aptly fulfills our needs for web application development. Mendix stands out by providing a marketplace replete with pre-built templates and widgets. This feature empowers users to leverage readily available components, hastening the development process and contributing to an enhanced overall usability of the platform.

Reliability and Availability
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.

Performance
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.

Support Rating
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.
Read full review
I think their support system is really professional. They answer question quickly and accurately. They have a ticket system that allows to track the current status of a request. The only point for imporvement is a way for me to postpone an answer. Tickets get closed automatically after some time. I feel that the user should have the option to change to an on hold status, allowing for more time to respond to a ticket.

Online Training
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.

Implementation Rating
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.

Return on Investment
  • 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
  • Custom Implementation automation in Creatio has eliminated 4-6 hours of configuration work per sale in comparison to our old manual methods

  • Without Mendix we could not have been where we are now. A development platform as Mendix can make the difference in a constantly changing environment.
  • Upgrading to newer versions of Mendix is a breeze when you stay within a main version (e.g. M6.x to Mx6.x+1) and even between versions (Mx5 to Mx6) most of the time it is no problem at all and there are only minor changes needed to upgrade.
  • Learning Mendix is simple. Just start playing with it and see for yourself how easy it is and feel the joy of developing applications.
