Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

More Make Pros →

"Pricing is a little on the high side.""Overall, the ability to integrate with multiple applications and effective case management is the most valuable.""The most valuable feature of Pega BPM is its architecture.""The solution is able to support the size and scale required.""The user interface and the ease of developing the workflow for an application are valuable features.""Application development is very rapid. A lot of code gets reused while building the applications, which is something we highly appreciate.""I have a lot of experience in this kind of industry, and Pega is one of the best solutions in terms of performance, capabilities, and the way we develop.""The most valuable feature is flexibility, as we can configure it to best suit our requirements."

Cons
"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."

More Make Cons →

"The initial setup takes time.""The main problem with Pega is that it is quite complex, so it is very difficult for the developer to learn.""There is a scarcity of resources who have worked with this solution before.""Pega BPM's documentation should be improved, especially for freshers or new trainees.""Pega should work on redefining their model and creating a demand for their skills.""Currently, there isn't any feature I want to be added in the next release of Pega BPM because Pega always adds new features that my team welcomes and looks forward to learning. One area for improvement in the solution is the long learning curve, but after that, you'll find Pega BPM easy to use.""I would like to see Pega BPM improve the user experience.""I believe that Pega's strategy when it comes to the UX part is not that great currently as compared to the other emerging BPM tools in the market."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of Make is approximately $20 per month for the platform."
  • More Make Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Licensing is expensive. You need to wisely select between per user and per case."
  • "They have both on-premise and cloud licensing. If you are a small to medium company, go for the cloud option because that eliminates a lot of the setting up of your DevTest and performance environments, multiple environments, because you can buy that from Pega with the cloud option. So your setup time really goes down. If you're a large company, then you're better off putting it within your company. You have other skill resources within your company to create environments."
  • "They need to come up with licensing options. Right now they do have a cloud-based option, but the cloud prices I've seen are much more expensive compared to competing products."
  • "The licensing fees are based on the number of users."
  • "May be somewhat more expensive than other solutions initially, but should have enhanced return on investment."
  • "The price of this solution, including installation and configuration, is comparable to competing vendors."
  • "The pricing is pretty good, compared to other similar products."
  • "It's a user-based license where, as you scale the numbers of users, the price increases."
