Software Engineer at Wipro Technologies
Developers gain flexibility to build custom controls with numerous integration options
Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases. Regarding AI-driven process optimizations, we have not implemented these features with IBM WebSphere BPMS. In recent versions, IBM has introduced some generative AI features, and we plan to migrate to the newer versions within approximately one year.

Flexibility and efficiency accelerate business processes
Make needs to put some focus on or clarify the security aspect in its documentation or website. When creating automation through these modules between two different applications, there should be clarity about whether the data is secure while passing through these automations or integrations created within Make. The pricing of Make at this point is through operations consumption, and it becomes really expensive in certain scenarios when iterations are involved. The operation consumption is too high and sometimes becomes a burden on the client. Make needs to review its pricing strategy since they have tough competition from n8n. Make sometimes has issues with user logins and data saving when simultaneously working on two different PCs or when two developers are working on something or some blueprint. It can lose saved data from one interface to the other, and when logging on with the same user on another workstation, it occasionally misbehaves. We were unaware that Make had its own local implementation module. They need to advertise this feature more effectively as we are developing many projects in Make and working with various clients.

Cons

"We've experienced a lot of glitches on the product."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"They need more monitoring capability."
"There is a need for more capabilities in low-code and no-code development to increase efficiency and make implementation simpler."

"Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"We have problems with the slowness and the UI and that impacts the user experience for who use it."
"Make could improve the ease of use, it can be more complicated than other solutions. There are a lot of elements that are more technical than in other solutions."
"There is a file size constraint, as when I try to upload a PDF question bank of 200 pages, it shows an error and the file cannot process the data."

"Make could be improved by having more platforms and connections that we would like to use, as well as more flexibility in paying for operations, with tasks on a sliding scale instead of by tier."
"Make can be improved in terms of the code module, as sometimes I use it at a developer level, and I want it to be more specific; when using the webhook, some data structures may require a lot of time to organize, so if a code node is available, it would help me structure data effectively."
"There is still a lot of difference when it comes to how the credits come into use and how to monetize what is being offered by Make."
