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.

Automates tasks and manages multiple servers from a central location
The initial setup was quite complex. It required careful preparation of installation steps, as many tasks were not automated as expected. Special attention was needed to prepare groups, users, and permissions at each step to ensure a smooth setup process. Please do so accurately to avoid having to start over. Challenges encountered during deployment included issues with installation and configuration and difficulties detecting machines and executing tasks as expected. Some solutions were found through trial and error during installation, while others were discovered through recommendations from other users. Despite these challenges, the deployment and rollout of Orchestrator took approximately one and a half months to ensure proper functionality.

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Make saves me roughly forty-five percent to sixty percent of time since the analysis part and solution are provided below the question."
"The best features Make offers include its very visual interface, which stands out for me."
"This means the task that I would complete in a span of one day is completed in a matter of minutes by using Make."
"Every employee used to work manually, and I also used to do manual tasks, now Make does everything automatically."

Cons

"I was talking about dark mode because it feels irritating when working in dark places."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes the platform is too laggy and loads slowly."
"Make can enhance the credit limit for free use because what is happening now is that most of the credits have been used during testing only."
"One area for improvement is an auto-building feature."
"I chose a nine out of ten because sometimes my browser gets crashed while working on Make, and I do not know why."
"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."
"The product's management aspect needs enhancement."
"I find the Orchestrator UI to be problematic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Make is approximately $20 per month for the platform."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"We obtained a license that bundled Windows Server with System Center at no additional cost."
