Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
5.8
BizTalk Server offers great ROI for large industries, but smaller businesses might prefer cloud solutions for more flexible options.
Sentiment score
6.0
Automation enhances efficiency, cuts labor costs by 50%, boosts ROI, and saves time on reporting, content, and CRM tasks.
Now the direction is to move away from BizTalk Server to IBM WebMethods, which has more features compared to BizTalk Server.
Senior Application Specialist at Taqa Distribution
BizTalk Server's ROI is comparatively higher than Boomi and Workato.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
I have indeed seen a return on investment as it has saved us hundreds of hours in repetitive tasks, streamlining our follow-up to the leads that we are generating.
Network Engineer at AT&T
I implemented a booking system for my client that previously required data to be entered directly into Google Sheets and reminders to be sent manually; using Make, they have saved about 50% of their time, which equals one labor resource, translating to a significant amount of money saved.
Founder at WebEase
With that extra time each month, I could focus more on sales and upscaling my business, so it is really worth it.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
4.8
User experiences vary, with praised documentation, competent engineers, and mix of Microsoft's support and external consulting for assistance.
Sentiment score
5.5
Make's responsive customer support and abundant self-help resources efficiently resolve user issues, fostering an active, supportive community.
We have escalated a few issues that we faced during some integrations, and we received reasonable responses from Make support.
Chief Executive Officer at Ashtex Solutions
They were doing the best job for my use cases and my problems.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.0
BizTalk Server's scalability receives mixed reviews; some find it expandable, others face issues with increasing message volumes.
Sentiment score
5.5
Make is scalable and effective for complex workflows, but pricing and workflow setup can challenge some users.
It is time for low-code, no-code, and a quick go-to-market should be faster.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
When you have an error, it is very hard to do error handling and debugging.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
It can handle increasing workloads or more complex automations easily, but I need to set up each and every component carefully.
Student at Raisoni Group
Make's scalability is very good, and if the pricing were lower, I could scale a lot more.
Founder at WebEase
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
BizTalk Server is stable but struggles with large data, losing relevance as users increasingly transition to cloud solutions.
Sentiment score
7.3
Make is mostly stable and reliable for users, with occasional minor bugs and issues that don't hinder overall performance.
BizTalk Server's stability rates about eight or nine out of ten.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
BizTalk Server is good for small companies but not for big companies.
Senior Application Specialist at Taqa Distribution
 

Room For Improvement

BizTalk Server needs better debugging, deployment, scalability, cloud integration, JSON support, API management, and task management to stay competitive.
Users seek enhanced developer-friendliness, integrations, documentation, pricing, ease of use, security, stability, support tools, and customization.
BizTalk Server needs improvements, especially because we use it for EDI messaging, and it would be very useful to have enhanced tracking capabilities for message tracking and archiving of messages.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
We initially planned to move to Azure Integration Services, but there are challenges with AIS, so now we are evaluating WebMethods IO.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
There should be clarity about whether the data is secure while passing through these automations or integrations created within Make.
Chief Executive Officer at Ashtex Solutions
I would love to have more detailed logs, step-by-step error tracing, and better visualization of failed executions, as I think it would improve the user experience significantly.
software engineer at a non-tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The lagging problem needs to be solved.
Gtm Operator, Lead Generator at 404Minds Technologies
 

Setup Cost

BizTalk Server offers flexible deployment but can be costly compared to Azure, with users favoring cloud solutions for efficiency.
Make's pricing is affordable and flexible, with options like Docker solutions, making it cost-effective compared to competitors.
The only thing I heard is that it's not inexpensive.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
Licensing was affordable.
Network Engineer at AT&T
I found a solution that allows me to use Make almost for free, just using the Docker on-premises.
Automation Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
It's cost-effective and it's pocket-friendly.

Valuable Features

BizTalk Server excels in seamless integrations, data processing, and reliability with its workflows, adapters, and low-code configurations.
Make's intuitive interface and integrations boost efficiency and productivity, saving time and reducing manual tasks with seamless automation.
Boomi has advantages over BizTalk Server because it is more flexible, low-code, no-code, easy to implement, and has a fast go-to-market.
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
BizTalk Server offers workflow functionality that I find very effective for process automation.
Consultant at EC live! Hans Pointner
Make has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to solve use cases for hundreds of clients across hundreds of different platforms, providing the customization capabilities to automate accounting and invoicing processes that save dozens of man-hours a month, and allowing us to build custom churn, retention, and engagement costs that have driven a 30% reduction in churn.
Network Engineer at AT&T
Instead of spending several days implementing and testing API integrations inside our FastAPI back end, I was able to build the workflows in a few hours using Make.
software engineer at a non-tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The task that I would complete in a span of one day is completed in a matter of minutes by using Make.

Featured Reviews

reviewer2759421 - PeerSpot reviewer
Service Owner at a logistics company with 10,001+ employees
Has required extensive coding and high effort for maintenance but has supported legacy integrations
I am generally satisfied with BizTalk Server, but there are some gaps, as we have multiple integration tools. Thus, there is associated cost, operation cost, license cost, and CapEx, so we are trying to consolidate all the integration tools. Regarding BizTalk Server and data mapping tools, we want to get rid of BizTalk Server, as there is unnecessary license cost, and there are some limitations, so we might go for Azure Integration Services. BizTalk Server is completely ruled out; we will not be proceeding with it. We initially planned to move to Azure Integration Services, but there are challenges with AIS, so now we are evaluating WebMethods IO because WebMethods is now part of IBM, which is performing well in the market, although the IBM license cost is too high. The initial investment is too high, and we want to reduce that cost.

Automation workflows have saved time and have reduced manual work for my client projects
Most of what I learned about Make is mainly from the templates only. Anything that I tried to do, I try to see who has done it already and try to understand and rebuild it. When I'm trying to build some workflows, there's a chatbot component. When I ask for something, it helps me in that. Or if I get a bug that I'm finding difficult to debug or understand the use case or the log, it clearly explains it to me and sometimes it advises me to do certain things, so that it's easy for me to fix it. One area for improvement is an auto-building feature. Another is how n8n has a chatbot completion where you can bring some LLMs into the workflow and integrating Ollama and all of that is something I felt is really needed for Make also.
