"PTC CREO is the best 3D CAD/CAM/CAE modelling software in the industry."

5/5

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.

"Best tool for CAD modelling"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Creo?

The tool has easy to use function and commands are very handy. it is very user friendly and one can easily learn the modelling of any cad modeling in 2d as well as 3d. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Creo?

2D sketching and on somewhat extent 3d modelling is good. but nowadays some of the tools are available with plugin loading functionality. if this functionality added then it can be powerful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent CAD Package with Room For Improvements"

3/5

What do you like best about Creo?

CREO is great for large assemblies with large number of components and mates to manage. 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.

"Powerful CAD software "

5/5

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.
