Creo Reviews & Product Details

What i appreciate most about creo is how it feels like the only cad tool that invites you to think structurally rather than just draw shapes. when i am building something complex, Creo does not jsut give me features it give me a sense of engineering discipline. the system almost nudges me into designing things the right way with clean dependencies, predictable behavior and a kind of geometric honesty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

what frustrates me most about creo is that it sometimes feels like it was designed by engineers who assume everyone else thinks exactly like them. Small actions like tweaking a feature or switching a constraint can feel heavier than they should, as if you are negotiating with software instead of simply editing a model.

what i truly appreciate about creo is how it blends mechanical precision with design freedom in a way few CAD tools manage. it feels engineered not just for creating models,but for understanding how those models behave in the real world. the parametric system is powerful once you define relationships between components, creo remembers them like a silent collaborator, keeping the entire design logically consistent even after multiple revisions.

what i find challenging about creo is that its depth can sometimes feels like a maze. Every feature is powerful,but that power comes with layers of menus, settings and workflows that take time to truly master. it is almost as if creo assumes you already think like a seasoned engineer before you even start using it.

Creo's robust parametric modeling and routing features enable me to efficiently design and modify wiring harnesses, brackets, and assemblies. Implementing design changes is straightforward, and updates are automatically reflected across all related parts and drawings, which saves time and helps minimize errors. Additionally, Creo manages complex assemblies effectively and integrates seamlessly with Windchill, ensuring proper version control and facilitating collaboration with cross-functional teams.

From my experience, when working with large powertrain and vehicle-level assemblies, I have observed that performance can slow down and regeneration times become longer, which impacts productivity. One major issue I’ve experienced is that when a fatal error occurs, fixing or recovering from it can erase all recent updates if the assembly was not saved, leading to loss of work and rework effort.

What I like best about Creo is its intuitive interface combined with advanced parametric modeling, allowing for quick design changes without disrupting the overall model. Its robust feature set for simulation, generative design, and real-time rendering makes it a complete solution for innovative product development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about Creo is that it can feel resource-intensive and slow when handling large assemblies, which affects workflow efficiency. Additionally, its learning curve is quite steep for new users, requiring time to fully master its advanced tools and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you learn the UI, CREO has a relatively easy workflow for developing parts and assemblies and making adjustments. I like the functionality of Windchill in company environment it makes it easy to access models that are used by multiple people within the same company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish that when starting a sketch you could view the scale of the window before you sketch a line so that you are close to the size you need when drawing your first sketch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

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.

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.

easy part modeling. creo have very easy interface which simplifies the part modeling in creo Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creo does not have good surfacing tools as catia. Surfacing in creo feels hard if we compare it with other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

It is fairly simple to use for people new to CAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software lacks the advanced features found in other programs, such as Solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
