“If I am being honest the cost..it adds up quick and you have to watch extra fees.”
“The user interface for some things such as email templates and forms is not the most friendly and is fairly bare bones.”

“Salesforce users who switched to Creatio CRM report 37% reduction in technology costs, 70% reduction in implementation timelines, and 17% reduction in manual data entry for sales.”
