PM pravin m. Deputy Manager Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 8/5/2025 "n Engineer’s Companion for Design Challenges" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Creo? I have used creo for almost 6 years professionally and more than that in my college days. It is really good, as I have used other CAD softwares as well, so I would tell that in Creo - I used to like that Repeat command to repeat the last part in assembly mode also, to create family tree of a part to add an instance, it was really very very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? As it is very parametric, so it needs references everytime you create something, mostly when an assembly doesn't have proper constraints then that item itself shows that in its icon. whereas in NX , you are not constrained for constraining everything like in creo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you? Creo solves instability in designs, assembly clutter, and disconnected simulation workflows. It lets you manage revisions easily, reuse designs smartly, and test thermal behavior inside the CAD environment. That saves time and improves design precision across platforms.

Design Automation engineer Furniture Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/19/2025 "Powerful CAD Tool with Strong Engineering Capabilities" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Creo? Creo offers robust parametric modeling, high-precision design tools, and excellent control over complex geometries. Its feature-based modeling is reliable, stable, and ideal for engineering workflows. Advanced modules like sheet metal, surfacing, and simulation make it a complete solution for product development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? The UI could be more user-friendly, and performance can slow down with heavy assemblies or large datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you? It reduces design errors, improves accuracy, and speeds up development by allowing quick changes and updates across the model. This consistency and control help me deliver high-quality designs faster and with fewer iterations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Executive Member Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/26/2025 "Top Notch Parametric Modelling" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Creo? Built-in simulation tools (like stress analysis and thermal simulation) help engineers catch design flaws early and can handle vast and complex assemblies better than most CAD software. Also, it supports sheet metal, surfacing, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and generative design. Creo Parametric offers professional-grade customer support, but like the software itself, it’s very enterprise-focused. Creo integrates well with PLM systems like Windchill (PTC's own) and can connect to other enterprise tools like ERP and MES systems. It's being used with huge frequency by multiple multibagger organizations around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Creo? As for the ease of use, beginners, especially those new to parametric modeling, might find it elusive and a bit intimidating at first. Not to mention, it is an expensive software aimed at vast organizations. Implementation can be moderately difficult, not super easy, but very manageable with good planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Creo solving and how is that benefiting you? Creo solves the real challenges engineers and designers face when creating complex products. It allows you to design highly detailed parts and large assemblies with full parametric control, meaning any change you make automatically updates across the model and thus saving huge amounts of time and avoiding errors. Creo also helps make sure your designs are ready for actual manufacturing, whether it’s for sheet metal, molds, or even 3D printing. In short, Creo helps you design faster, minimize mistakes, manage complex projects more easily, and ultimately deliver better products at a lower cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
