How to Switch from OrgPlus to Creately

Export Your Org Data from OrgPlus:
Go to your OrgPlus RealTime workspace and export the employee data as CSV or Excel. Include name, title, department, manager, email, and any custom fields you want to carry over.
Import into Creately with AI Column Mapping:
Upload the CSV and the AI maps your columns to org chart fields with confidence-scored suggestions. Review the mappings, adjust if needed, and import. The entire import can be undone with a single Ctrl+Z.
Activate the Field Packs You Need:
Start with the basics (name, title, department), then turn on Talent, Compensation, Succession, or any of the 15 field packs when your team needs them. New fields appear in the properties panel, filters, and coloring options right away.
Set Up Data Sensitivity Tiers:
Configure who sees what. Restrict compensation to HR Confidential access, talent fields to their assigned tiers, and demographics to authorized aggregate reporting. Unauthorized users never see restricted fields, a major upgrade over OrgPlus’s basic access controls.
Invite Your Team:
Share the org chart by link or email. Control who can view, comment, or edit. Collaborators work in real time with live cursors, something OrgPlus’s single-user model doesn’t support.
Start Planning with Scenarios:
Model proposed org changes in Creately Atlas scenarios without modifying the live chart. Compare additions, removals, reporting moves, and field updates against the same people and position records before applying the chosen scenario.

FAQs on Creately vs OrgPlus

Is Creately a full alternative to OrgPlus RealTime?

Creately Atlas supports org visualization, scenario planning, succession fields, and compensation analysis with sensitivity-controlled access. Compare the workflows and plan terms you need before treating it as a replacement for another product.

How much does OrgPlus cost compared to Creately?

Compare current quotes for the same employee count, required capabilities, and implementation scope; confirm Atlas pricing and contract terms before estimating savings.

Can I import my OrgPlus data into Creately?

Yes. Export your data from OrgPlus as CSV or Excel, then upload it to Creately. The AI import wizard maps your columns (even non-standard headers) to org chart fields with confidence-scored suggestions. The wizard validates data, catches errors like reporting cycles and missing IDs, and builds the hierarchy with auto-layout.

Does Creately offer real-time collaboration unlike OrgPlus?

Yes. Unlike OrgPlus’s single-user desktop editing model, Creately supports live multi-cursor editing, threaded comments, @mentions, and real-time sync. Multiple team members can view and edit the same org chart at the same time with no file locking or version conflicts.

Does Creately have AI features that OrgPlus lacks?

Yes. OrgPlus has no AI capabilities. Creately’s AI assistant uses 7 specialized tools: query the org fields your access permits, build multi-condition filters from natural language, apply categorical coloring and heatmaps, run queries and aggregations across the org graph, create and modify scenarios through conversation, and proactively surface insights like “3 managers have more than 12 direct reports.”

Does Creately support scenario planning and succession?

Yes. Creately Atlas supports scenario planning and succession fields, subject to the available plan and access permissions. Model reorgs and headcount changes as what-if scenarios on the live chart, color positions by succession risk, record readiness timelines for named successors, and compare multiple scenarios side-by-side. OrgPlus does not offer these capabilities.

How does Creately handle data security compared to OrgPlus?

Creately uses a 6-tier data sensitivity model: Public, Internal, Manager, HR Restricted, HR Confidential, and Sensitive PII. Restricted fields are invisible to unauthorized users, completely hidden rather than just locked. Creately is SOC 2 Type II compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and HIPAA ready, a significant upgrade over OrgPlus’s basic access controls.

Can Creately handle large organizations with 1,000+ employees?

Yes. Creately Atlas supports large org charts with collapsible branches and department focus, but you should test your dataset and access requirements rather than assume unlimited scale. Confirm pricing and plan limits for the employee count you expect to manage.
