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.
Dinesh Lavu - PeerSpot reviewer
Development Engineer at CSAFI
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IBM WebSphere BPMS provides significant return on investments, especially in the BAW component."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great. The speed of delivery is good."
"It's a good product."
"The UI capabilities of the solution are great, and the speed of delivery is good, with everything delivered quickly and seamlessly in order to bring things to the market in an efficient manner."
"The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere BPMS is the systematic framework it provides for building different systems."
"I definitely would recommend this product as a solution as I do with most of our clients."
"It has allowed the companies that I work for to expose their services outside of their own network."
"We like the feature in which we can trace back instances."
"Make has positively impacted my organization by enabling me to generate numerous leads because it is easy to implement, which allowed me to drastically reduce the time needed to create and present a minimum viable product to clients."
"This means the task that I would complete in a span of one day is completed in a matter of minutes by using Make."
"The most valuable features of Make are the additional options when compared to other similar solutions. For example, with Google my business, you can only do certain things with Zapier, whereas with Make, you can do a little bit more."
"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."
"Make's front-end interface, the modular interface that it has, drag-and-drop interface, is very easy to understand, use, and integrate."
"Make has positively impacted my organization by reducing our manual workflow and workload by almost twenty to thirty percent, which I feel is great."
 

Cons

"There is a need for more capabilities in low-code and no-code development to increase efficiency and make implementation simpler."
"We have problems with the slowness and the UI and that impacts the user experience for who use it."
"We've experienced a lot of glitches on the product."
"Sometimes there are tasks that failed without any reason."
"The user interface could be improved, and although integration opportunities are good, they could be improved further."
"Looking forward, IBM WebSphere BPMS could add more adapters to integrate with SAP or Salesforce integrator in upcoming releases."
"They need more monitoring capability."
"The solution lacks acceptable stability."
"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."
"Sometimes the platform is too laggy and loads slowly."
"I was talking about dark mode because it feels irritating when working in dark places."
"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."
"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 has helped me save time positively, but I think there is room for improvement in Make as well."
"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."
