Leading the automation no-code (or low code) solutions
Comments: I've been a long time user of their free tier, but a particular project required some advanced features. I tried using other services with lower costs or higher limits, however even basic things like supporting a JSON Api, handling files, or handling multiple steps had issues. Not the case here: I was able to completely
Pros:
Integromat is, to me, more advanced and way better priced than Zapier. It supports a whole lot of apps, and has an excellent support for JSON and external APIs. It also provides webhook support. Their free tier has been very useful to me for years, and now that my needs have expanded I'm finding value in their next tier.
Cons:
I still feel limited by the pricing scheme. The lower tier has enough operations and bandwidth for my needs now, but the time interval is 5 minutes, which adds up on my workflow. The next tier lowers the interval to 1 minute, but is significantly more costly (because it also adds more operations and bandwidth). However, it is still less expensive than Zapier and actually works for my needs compared to other cheaper alternatives.
One of the best Marketing automation hubs
Pros:
Tools usually don't have native integrations with each other.Make.com is your best friend in these cases. You can easily set up conections between tools and do all kinds of workflow management stuff (Branches, routers, filters, transform data etc).Usually tools have an integration with make but, if you don't have it, you can always use the API.
Cons:
It can become expensive because you pay per each operation that runs
Worst and most non-functional automation / integration platform that exists
Comments:
The connections between Facebook and Sheets simply don't work. What is possible in under 5 minutes with Zapier will cost you an entire work day with Integromat / Make.com and you still will be stuck and nowhere. When you contact support with this, they try to tell you the bug isn't theirs while it is their issue to fix. And then they will send you tutorials on how to do it etc. While you did it perfectly according to the book. My conclusion: Make.com / Integromat does not maintain the Facebook API connection and now that the Facebook API refuses to function, all Make.com / Integromat customers are stuck.
Zapier is a somewhat more expensive, but given the massive amount of time and frustration you'll save, a more cheap solution than Make.com / Integromat!
Pros:
It has a good dashboard. Its recent dashboard upgrade is an improvement.
Cons:
The connections between Facebook and Sheets simply don't work. What is possible in under 5 minutes with Zapier will cost you an entire work day with Integromat / Make.com and you still will be stuck and nowhere.
Excellent automation platform
Comments:
We've been using Make for years (since it was Integromat) and will continue to use it
Make is reliable and can make any workflow infinitely more complex and capable
Pros:
They have many native connections as well as the option to connect via API which makes the use cases unlimited The freemium is also great
Cons:
Some of the connections don't work properly, maintenance could be better The migration from Integromat was also a bit frustrating
The new Integromat does not disappoint
Comments: It allows me to acquire more customers, who always use different tools, in a simple way because it allows me to integrate them all in a simple and immediate way
Pros:
The large amount of apps that can be integrated makes Make the necessary collector towards which to converge your workflow in every project. The graphical representation of the logics and modules allows the creation of forward automation scenarios
Cons:
Make brings with it the strengths of Integromat, but also its (few) weaknesses. For example, I have been waiting for and requesting for years a "converger" component, capable of bringing together the logics following the conditional paths
