What do you like best about Creo?

PTC CREO 3D model based is very easy to learn, and it is also easy to visualize. Has great features. One of the industry-leading software. We use CREO for our CAD/CAM lab. It is value for money and has quick RoI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creo?

Even though CREO is a CAD/CAM/CAE software, the capabilities of CAE have to be improved.

It can be a nightmare for IT administrators when it comes to upgrading the license server, as sometimes it is not easy, especially when upgrading the version from version 9 to version 10. Hence technical support for license administration should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since CREO is built on the concept of parametric modeling, it is very easy to modify and change the dimensions of the CAD model.

We are using CREO as a part of the CAD/CAM lab curriculum and since it is easy to learn, it saves us a lot of time while training our students to learn this software. It is also very competitively priced, making it more affordable with a quick return on investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creo?

CREO's menu is very confusing, simple commands are buried layers deep. CREO should redesign the GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creo:

Consider redesigning the main menu, maybe adding a compact menu that can hover on the main design area for frequently used features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our industry requires large complex components to be mated which CREO does an excellent job handling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creo?

Creo is a powerful software of 3D CAD capabilities optimized to meet all the needs and requirements of product development. It offers all the 3D designs such as sheet metal design, mechanism design, human factors design, routed systems design etc. It has the ability to do all kinds of analysis like structural, thermal, motion, fatigue etc. It is a well-built software with less bugs hence I have never faced any crashing issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creo?

It was very confusing and problematic in the beginning then I went through some tutorials online, it took a while in exploring all the best options to optimize the drawings. Once I got the command and became familiar with the tools then I started liking it and have been using only Creo since then. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creo:

I would recommend to first go through a training on Creo then start practicing to work on the same on daily or weekly basis. It will be tough in the beginning but once you master it, you will love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creo has made easy assembling of parts together, collaborating and sharing 3D models and designs. It helps me to transform my ideas into reality and gives notification if I make something that is beyond reality. This saves a lot of time and increases productivity. Also, it helps in doing complex analysis and gives accurate results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Creo?

It is used for mechanical enginnering, design and manufacturing. We can improve manufacturing and enginnering capabilities of product. Increased efficiency through interface and editing of geometry. Creo is good for 3D modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creo?

I find problem in drawing detailing in creo software. And also face difficulty in part modeling of this software. It is difficult software for learning and also expensive as compared to other design software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creo:

I think creo is best software for 3d design, modeling and surfacing. Creo is mainly used for complex modeling production. But i suggested that if you are first time user in design then creo is quite difficult for you. It is very expensive software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used this software in my company's project. When i intership in the company at that time we worked on the project which is related to automatic pump. In this project we run pump without any electricity. It is very improtanat project for us. First of all we made 3d design in creo software. In this design we used advanced rendering tool of creo software so that we improve visualisiation of project. We made our project successfully without any errors in this software.

What do you like best about Creo?

It has variety of features, capabilities, tools which are help us to make our product better. Simulation and analysis is fast and easy with Creo software.we can measure how our product is used and perform in different situation.creo has more surface tool so it is better for surfacing and also it is useful in drafting and modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creo?

Creo is better for solid modelling because sometimes I can find difficulty in drafting operations. And very lengthy process for any command in Creo software. creo make every time new draft files in your system when you do any changes in your design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Creo:

I suggested Creo for solid modelling because in drafting you find many problems.it is easy to learn as compared to another software so that if you are first time user in designing then I suggested you used Creo so that you easily understand features and process and then you can easily used another software. It is cheaper as compared to another design software but it is not useful in large project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Creo software in my college project which name is 360 degree drilling machine. First of all I used another software for design of project but I face some problems in surfacing so I used Creo software for modelling and surfacing. I make better design with good surfacing with Creo software. I also used MBD tool in Creo software for producing data directly in 3D model.i complete my project without any errors in Creo.

Creo is great software for viewing 2D drawings and 3D models. It's free, so non-engineers can use it without having to have an expensive seat of Creo, and it also allows them to make notes for the engineers. You can build assemblies and test them. Easy to use and fast to hang. Great models in 3D, and also in 2D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
