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
Using Make, businesses achieved up to 500% returns through automation, reducing labor costs and enhancing operational efficiency.
Sentiment score
6.3
Mendix offers varied ROI; its free version aids startups, while licensing fees impact cost-effectiveness for different clients.
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.
It's not that they're really firing that personnel, but they can often focus on the core that really matters instead of repetitive processes in Excel forms and all of the overhead and human error that comes with that.
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Since Mendix is a low-code platform, the ROI is significant; we save a lot of money and require fewer people to do an application, reduced to two, which drastically decreases development time because this is not traditional programming; just drag and drop, and we can complete projects that would take years within months.
SOFTWARE ENGINEER at Siemens Industry
I have seen a return on investment with Mendix, as in default software development, a team with 10 developers or more is needed, while here we can do it with one or two developers, so it is truly a money saver for the company.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.4
Make is praised for scalability and ease, but enterprise pricing and complex workflow errors challenge extensive scaling.
Sentiment score
7.1
Mendix scales effectively for diverse applications, overcoming challenges with cloud integration, performing well in high-load environments.
When you have an error, it is very hard to do error handling and debugging.

Room For Improvement

Make needs better API integration, pricing, debugging, usability, and developer features, plus increased free limits for improved user experience.
Mendix needs improvement in reporting, customization, integration, mobile support, stability, AI, pricing, and handling large datasets.
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.

The lagging problem needs to be solved.
Gtm Operator, Lead Generator at 404Minds Technologies
Access to the database is limited in Mendix's public cloud, preventing direct database interaction or inspection.

It's cost-effective and it's pocket-friendly.
Bubble.Io | Xano | No Code | Mba | Make | Zapier | Full Stack at Indian Railways
The app license costs between $13,000 to $14,000, which is prohibitive for startups.

Valuable Features

The platform offers a no-code interface, integrations, and automation, boosting efficiency and accessibility for all user levels.
Mendix offers rapid app development with low-code tools, allowing easy integration, scalability, and fast cross-platform delivery.
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.

For security, I value the built-in authentication, role-based access control, and data protection features, which make enterprise apps safer without needing heavy custom setup.

Featured Reviews

FA
Chief Executive Officer at Ashtex Solutions
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.
Mitchel Mol BGS - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at Blue Green Solutions
Has improved development quality and speed but has introduced persistent IDE slowdowns
In recent years, the IDE has been more buggy and slower, and although there have been more features added, I would like to see more stability, as some areas that used to work for a fairly long time are now slower in my development, which feels like a step back. I choose a seven mainly due to the issues we've faced with slowdowns and bugs during development, while runtime has been very stable, and the overall output on Mendix platform is still good; there is definitely some room for improvement, and I would probably have given it an eight or even a nine if those issues weren't hurting my developer output for the past few years. Overall, Mendix platform is stable, but the IDE could be better.
