Overall, I am pleased with my experience. Creo is not the most intuitive software, but once you figure it out, it is usable. The program itself runs very smoothly and easily works with any other software. It also has infinite customization options to help with workflow.
Pros: Its rendering capabilities are by far the best and easiest to use among all of the CAD software. I also like the cable routing application as it makes modeling wire super easy. I also appreciate how it will import any file, regardless of type.
Cons: I use it primarily for sheet metal and have found it somewhat lacking. You are unable to regularly extrude and merge a solid. I just created a new solid while your existing sheetmetal stays the same. This is very frustrating, as sometimes it is easier to just extrude than to use a flat or flange. The other thing is that when you are creating an assembly, there is a design structure based on when you put the part into the assembly. That means there is no way of mating two parts if it has been added after the first part.

Pros: Good in terms of 3d designing and assembly, more complex and has more features compered to others like Solidworks. you can also use a plm like windchill which is connected.
Cons: Not easy to well understand how it is works not like Solidwrosk , especially with the plm connection.

Cons: For sheet metal is not good much ,So very hard to use.
saravanakumar m. · Engineering manager · Automotive · November 29, 2024
Pros: Great capabilities with modeling, tool design, mill pathing, etc
Cons: UI is not intuitive, steep learning curve compared to Solidworks or equivalent.
Thomas K. · Engineer · Medical Devices · October 22, 2024
The overall experience of using Creo in my day to day professional life is fantastic. It helps me a lot as it has a lot of integrated features like EZ Tolerance Analysis, Creepage and Clearance Analysis, etc.
Pros: The best thing about Creo Parametric is that it provides rich set of features with the complete depth for all of the modules like Sheet Metal, Part Modelling, Assembly, etc.
Cons: Because of having a rich variety of features, it becomes difficult for a new user to learn it easily as compared to other CAD tools like SolidWorks.
Ronit J. · Design Engineer · Machinery · September 9, 2024
Uso Creo in modo continuativo da più di trenta anni (dal 1993 quando era Pro/E versione 12) e mi ha sempre dato grandi soddisfazioni il suo utilizzo
Pros: La parte di modellazione meccanica è molto simile al processo di realizzazione del particolare (magari tramite fresatura) è quindi facilmente realizzabile il modello 3D
Cons: Le applicazioni per superfici di stile sono poco intuitive e quindi la modifica x chi non le ha realizzate è molto laboriosa
Marco D. · Disegnatore meccanico · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · July 6, 2024
Pros: UDF-User Defined FeatureFamily TableShrinkwrapIt's very easy to useWe have integrated TEAMCENTER no issue regarding plm.
Cons: We are having all mfg. Facility in-house at that point we use to create different models with help of family table.it makes our life easy.Image inserting in model,as in our machinary design we have to add causion/warning sign.We have Teamcenter/PLM integrated and works fine.

Pros: It is incredibly robust and only allows you to design parts properly and very rarely allows failures. This requires a specific workflow but once learned, will mean parts are easier to update going forward without things breaking.
Cons: The restrictive nature of the CAD package and some quirks with its part and body modelling can make it unintuitive and confusing.
Ash M. · Design Engineer · Design · September 12, 2023
Pros: Creo is one of the best known CAD softwares, used by a lot of OEM, it offers a wide range of features for modeling 3D parts, for people with knowledge in this software it got a simple interface
Cons: For someone starting on 3D modeling they will need some training to have a proper feeling on what the software can do, sometimes the software crashes and we lose hours of work.
Filipe C. · Resident Engineer (SQA) · Automotive · August 15, 2023
Creo provides not only simulation but also analytical tools that help every member of a product team do their jobs and understand the product being worked on. I especially like how it serves everyone in one way or the other.
Pros: Creo allows me to view not only assemblies as a whole but also parts as sections of assemblies in 3D. I like the fact that it allows me to separate components into their smallest entities to understand what I need to facilitate my lifecycle management. It’s easy to import into and export out of.
Cons: Creo can be a bit daunting for beginners due to its robust features. It’s also a bit expensive when it comes to licensing fee but many would argue it’s worth the money.
Abdulbasit H. · Engineer · Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing · August 5, 2023
I have been designing with Creo for 10 years and it has been a very positive experience.
Pros: Creo is a fantastic resources for completing complex designs efficiently and accurately. The machine design features make getting work done easy.
Cons: It is not the most user friendly when you first get started with the tool. Once you pick up on the picks and clicks, it is very easy to expand your knowledge and use the tool to its fullest potential.
Nicki B. · Engineering Onboarding Lead · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · June 29, 2023
Awesome software it does have a learning curve for newbies but what software doesn't
Pros: Modeling, assembly, sheet metal and drawings modules are my favorite
Cons: Error message are cryptic but you get used to them
Wade M. · Designer · Design · June 27, 2023
3D modeling and Engineering design has been made easy using CREO. It saves us lot of time in the CAD lab as the students can learn this software quickly and solve engineering problems.
Pros: Parametric modeling allows users to change the design on the fly and eliminates the need to start from scratch. Learning is also easy and fun.
Cons: 2D capabilities are less when compared to competition. CAM features can be improved.
Pradeep K. · Technical Officer · Higher Education · June 17, 2023
extremely adept . fast to learn but impossible to master. every solution is a work around rather than an actual solution
Pros: No pros. It has too many bugs and should not be considered for professional use.
Cons: Terrible functionally that compares poorly to other CAD packages. Windchill data management also is flawed and makes no sense and heavily prone to data lose due to system crashes. No simple functions such as repeat last command or undo.
Anthony C. · Design Eingeer · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · May 25, 2023
Creo is a 3D Modules very good for a medium level of use
Pros: Creo is one of the best 3D Model Designs, especially for students, Creo is friendly and smooth for students to begin with education levels.
Cons: I face a lag in rendering, I could say the rendering performance is not efficient as other 3D modules.
Amjad J. · Technical Support · Construction · April 20, 2023
I use this software to make 3d designs as a hobby because I love tools and parts designing, I sometimes use Creo to make the work faster. I love this application because it is easy to use.
Pros: A great design tool but not the best. I like that this software is much easier than any other designing software, if you have complicated work by using Cero you can save time. Also, the rendering is good but not the best. And it has a great user interface with easy and clear grouping.
Cons: They must work on the analysis, this software can do much work and it saves time because it is easier than any other software but the analysis in Creo is bad and doesn't give accurate results so you have to use another software to do it the analysis.
Hammam A. · IHPCO · Construction · April 18, 2023
It is very good software for beginners to learn modelling with ease.
Pros: Creo software is a user-friendly software.In this software we make 2D diagrams and convert them to 3D models with advanced modelling features. This software makes users deliver projects in time and model components with accurate dimensions.
Cons: Modification of models in the process of modelling is not possible in this software. Edit sketchs is not available. Some errors are sometimes difficult to resolve. It requires large and high speed internet to work with Creo.
Ashok M. · Software Engineer · Information Technology and Services · April 13, 2023
Pros: Nice interface and very intuitive.Can be configured has we want.
Cons: When importing files, the visualization is not the best. To much pixelized.
Vitor L. · Eng · Automotive · April 11, 2023
I create 2 and 3 dimensional drawings, design and simulation of projects and also doing the material analysis of my projects.
Pros: The feature that makes me do analysis of my project is the feature that I like most in Creo.
Cons: I don't feel there's any feature missing or any that needs a fix for now, everything is working perfectly for me.
Adedayo F. · CAD Technician · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · April 1, 2023
Con creo ho avuto la possibilità di ragionare su aspetti fisici e comportamentali del prodotto in relazione ai materiali scelti per la sua realizzazione.
Pros: Il motivo per cui mi sono interfacciato a Creo è di natura economica, attraverso il seguente software è possibile disegnare gratuitamente con le potenzialità corrispondenti a quelle di softwaremolto più dispendiosi.
Cons: L'interfaccia potrebbe essere più appetibile.

I have always used parametric softwares, which are great when you need a standardization or to rely on some formulas for outcomes, but most of the time in my job as a mechanical engineer in the field of industrial automation I don't need to handle such complexity which ends up slowering me down. For this reason I enjoy very much this alternative which results much more efficient without losing many aspects of the more complex softwares but giving you more freedom
Pros: Very easy to use, Direct modeling not being parametric makes is super easy to get into it and start modeling straight after getting the software even without knowing parametric modeling. I find it great for whoever has a 3D printer and needs to quickly draw parts without the issues of handle parameters and constraints. So, quickness is another great advantage. Finally, it is available also for free with few limitations on groups of parts, making it very suitable also for amateurs
Cons: Of course a big pro can be also a big con, speaking about the lack of parameters, but depending on how someone intends to model an objects, they should know beforehand if this way is the most suitable
Luca S. · Mechanical engineer · Industrial Automation · March 1, 2023
Overall, I find the Creo software easy to use and very helpful in my graphic design work. I would recommend it to others.
Pros: The advantage of Creo software is that it is very easy to use and learn with powerful 3D modeling capabilities. It is flexible and customizable. There is a comprehensive library of parts and assemblies. Apart from that it could simulate and analyze the design in addition to the design process automatically. It also could collaborate with other users.
Cons: The downside of Creo Software is the expensive licensing fee. Limited support for non-Windows operating systems, non-CAD file formats, non-Creo software, non-English languages and for non-professional users.
Mohd Nubli B. · Lecturer · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · March 1, 2023
Ho utilizzato PTC Creo per anni durante il mio percorso universitario. E' stata una bella sfida da affrontare durante i primi tempi, ma quando raggiungi una conoscenza software decente ti senti di poter affrontare ogni compito.
Pros: Ampie possibilità di manovra e strumenti tecnici all'altezza dei suoi utilizzi.
Cons: A volte può essere dispersivo e poco intuitivo. Il primo approccio può difficoltoso.
Gianluigi P. · Studente · Mechanical or Industrial Engineering · February 22, 2023
Creo is a powerful 3D modeling platform that is easy to use and provides many helpful features. It is perfect for creating complex objects, and I find the Parametric feature to be particularly useful for creating detailed models. Additionally, the Creo Illustrate app gives users the ability to create dynamic product illustrations with ease. All in all, my experience with Creo has been very positive; it works well and looks great!
Pros: The thing that I liked most about Creo is how powerful it is. It's packed with tons of features that make it easy to create complex 3D models. I also really like the user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and quickly find what you need. And the fact that Creo Illustrate can be used for technical illustrations is great - it allows me to create beautiful visuals with ease. Finally, Creo Parametric has some great automation tools, which help save time when designing complex parts.
Cons: One of the downsides to Creo is that its features may be too robust and complicated for beginners to use. It has a steep learning curve and can be difficult to master all the tools it offers. As such, it might not be the best choice for those just starting out in 3D modeling.
