Some people believe that the fact that Creo is more advanced is a disadvantage to the platform, saying that Creo is full of all of these tools and capabilities that they have no need for. However, SolidWorks does lack some of the capabilities that Creo offers to users.

If you are looking to pursue a career in industrial design or something similar, SolidWorks would be the easiest option to find a job. Because SolidWorks has a much more user-friendly interface, it is used in businesses of all sizes across the world.

Creo is a much more complex program and is aimed at the higher-end CAD market. SolidWorks is a much less complex option and has a quicker learning curve for beginners. The biggest difference between Creo and SolidWorks would be their complexity for users. This helped SolidWorks to initially infiltrate the CAD market, but as of today both Creo and SolidWorks are much closer in price. When SolidWorks was first released, it claimed that it could do 80% of what Creo could do at a fraction of the price.
