## Reviews

### "Creo: Best CAD Tool for Complex Assemblies" — 5.0/5

> **Ronit** | *September 9, 2024* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Great CAD software with a few key features holding it back" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *August 14, 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Creo review" — 3.0/5

> **Thomas** | *October 22, 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great capabilities with modeling, tool design, mill pathing, etc
> 
> **Cons**: UI is not intuitive, steep learning curve compared to Solidworks or equivalent.

### "overall feedback creo" — 4.0/5

> **julien** | *June 10, 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **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.

### "Exploring the Time-Saving Features of Creo" — 5.0/5

> **saravanakumar** | *November 29, 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Part family option is very good to use and reduce tonnes of time for each engineer.
> 
> **Cons**: For sheet metal is not good much ,So very hard to use.
> 
> The features which are available in creo are pretty good and simple to use
