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.

Everything can be visibly managed, scheduling and state management features are pretty good
We've integrated it with source control management tools like GitLab and Bitbucket. The scheduling and state management features are pretty good using Spacelift. It integrates with tools like Terraform and Kubernetes for policies, but we haven't worked on the compliance part. Spacelift streamlines collaboration among our development and operations teams. We use it for CI/CD as well. It can handle automation strategies. Whenever you put your YAML files and integrate them with Spacelift, it will scan the code and show where you need to make changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Make has helped me save my time, and time is money, so obviously, eventually it has helped me save my money as well."
"The best features Make offers include its very visual interface, which stands out for me."
"Make has positively impacted my organization by helping me save around 10 plus hours per month to automate reporting and social media posting."
"Using Make, they have saved about 50% of their time, which equals one labor resource, translating to a significant amount of money saved."
"Every employee used to work manually, and I also used to do manual tasks, now Make does everything automatically."
"This means the task that I would complete in a span of one day is completed in a matter of minutes by using Make."
"This has made a very positive impact on my life because initially I was not able to do things quickly and efficiently, but now with the help of Make, I can plan many things that help my work become efficient."
"The new AI feature that Make has launched is really amazing."
"A valuable feature of Spacelift is that you can attach labels, and it is a modernized tool for infrastructure deployments. It is pull request-based, and you can see all the Terraform plan and apply logs on the pull request itself, which is not available across any other CI/CD tools."
"One key feature is the Spacelift policies, which we can attach to deployments to ensure compliance with our standards."
"Knowing the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) makes it easier to use without issues."
"I appreciate that I just have to connect to my AWS account with my credentials, and Spacelift handles the rest."
"Spacelift is like an extension of Terraform, where everything can be visibly managed."
 

Cons

"One area that needs improvement is the debugging and monitoring."
"Pricing is definitely something that is on a higher tier where we are consuming around 1.5 to 2 million operations per month, which makes the bill quite substantial."
"One area for improvement is an auto-building feature."
"Actually, I did not finish this project with Make; I could not manage to finish the full workflow, and I decided to leave it as it is, implementing it a different way because it is very tricky."
"The pricing of Make at this point is through operations consumption, and it becomes really expensive in certain scenarios when iterations are involved."
"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 has helped me save time positively, but I think there is room for improvement in Make as well."
"Make could improve the ease of use, it can be more complicated than other solutions."
"The self-hosted version does not have a lot of features compared to the SaaS version, such as cloud integrations for Azure and GCP."
"If you are a small enterprise organization, below 500 people, I would not recommend it."
"In the free version, there's no straightforward way to be notified once a deployment is finished."
"Spacelift currently lacks features that can help with complex type deployments and coordination for major deployments."
"Synchronization can be difficult when using older and newer versions with Kubernetes and HashiCorp."
