Review Summary
Review SummaryMake handles complex data automation and advanced integrations but actually feels like learning a programming language, so unless you're comfortable with APIs, webhooks, and arrays, you'll get lost fast.
This is really only a good fit if you're a technical user or engineer who wants to solve tough data problems, not if you need simple, beginner-friendly automation.
What is Make?
What is Make?While at first glance Make may look more user-friendly and visually appealing than that of Zapier with their drag-and-drop interface and animated bubble-like components, it's deceptively complex, yet extremely powerful.
Make is much more than a tool to just pass data from one app to another, it's also a fully-featured data manipulation tool for the data.
Because of that, learning how to use Make effectively is actually like learning a programming language, which is where the initial deception comes from.
The people I know that use Make as their main integration tool, are using it for quite complex data problems, for large companies, and they are often just as technical as a traditional engineer.
If you don't know what an API is, how webhooks function, and how arrays work, you're likely going to struggle with using Make.
