About Creo
Creo is an engineering CAD software that helps businesses optimize the entire product lifecycle using augmented reality, real-time simulation, additive manufacturing, and generative designing methodologies from within a unified platform. It enables staff members to utilize the sketching and parametric designing tools to modify product drawings, optimizing 3D conceptualization processes.
Creo allows staff members to analyze the performance of 3D prototypes by conduction real-time modal, thermal, structural, and fluid flow simulations. It also lets team members create top-down designs, conduct tolerance analysis, generate mold designs, manage production machining, and more on a centralized platform.

I used Creo for 2D and 3D modeling and simulation for product manufacturing
Pros
I enjoy how simple it is and how components can be drawn using equations. It also features a pretty realistic simulation of mechanics.
Cons
To obtain the best experience from the new Creo versions, high machine specs are required.

The best CAD software
Reviewed on 2019/05/11
Pros
My college uses Creo to teach us CAD. Since then I have worked with other CAD softwares and I have to say Creo was the most powerful of them all. It offers great range of tools to make your designs look amazing and the render option beats it all. It offer much more than any CAD software including assemblies, drawing files but most importantly NC manufacture and mold and cavity manufacture. You can generate CL files for 4th and 5th axis milling.
Cons
It takes a while to explore all the best options to optimize your drawings and it's ot easy to use at first. The default template is always imperial and requires changing to metric.

I have used PTC CREO (and other) products that pre-date the CREO name. The software is usable in a controlled environment and with sufficient support resources. Probably best for larger organizations that are also using Windchill PDM.
Pros
Flexible modeling, goal seeking, are interesting
Cons
This software is not for the new user. Unlike some if its competitors, you need and experienced administrator to make sure the myriad of possible configuration settings conform to you intended use. If you create models, etc... without understanding the configuration, the model can be worthless.

I have done programming and automation work through this software for interactive development in the classroom.
Pros
The generation of an MCAD file which allows generating a sequence of steps that can be programmed for the simulation of the mechanical design made, in addition to its incursion in the electrical design.
Cons
That the electric design tool is not very developed, it should be interactive like the mechanics module, it should also offer different packages with different costs that adapt to the budgets of different users.

Creo is fabulous software for 2D and 3D CAD modelling.
Reviewed on 2018/07/30
Pros
I have been using this software for a long time. It is splendid software indeed. When we are working on CAD work, it is very easy to navigate. One of the most beautiful feature of this software is assembling parts together. We can share 3D models, view drawings and make notes through this software very speedily.
Cons
The only limitation of this software is that it's layout seems to be quite difficult but once we have command on this software then we get familiar with it and it is easy to understand the concept. As it is versatile so it takes some time to learn as compare to other CAD software. It only needs practice to have good command on it. It's learning curve is quite steeper.
