    Integromat is the best tool for business automation in my opinion because unlike Zapier it allows us to integrate with any API even if the app is not available which allows us to create automation even with the less known apps that we use or the ones that we built internally for our own company.

    Based on our experience, IBM API Connect clearly excels in large enterprises navigating complex B2B ecosystems, especially within the Fintech and Banking sectors. Its capabilities are particularly valuable for achieving Open Banking compliance, facilitating the monetization of data and services, and seamlessly operating in hybrid cloud environments. However, it's crucial to understand that IBM API Connect primarily functions as an API management and orchestration tool. This means that backend integrations with providers like databases are best handled by dedicated integration middleware, such as IBM App Connect, allowing API Connect to then securely and efficiently expose those functionalities to external entities.

    • API discovery feature is very helpful to allow us to scope the work required before diving into things.
    • The ability to set permissions and rulesets at a user level is essential to restrict access to specific datasets.
    • Ability for external users (those from outside our organisation) to leverage the API in more restrictive manner.

    • Improvement can come in the interface of the tool, which is sometimes complex and requires a deep understanding of the tool.
    • Improving the different levels of access to the playroom could be helpful because product owners and developers need to see other information.
    • Publishing API and integration of API can be more straightforward.

    At this point, it is firmly embedded in the DNA of the business and to give up the ability to automate workflows and create integrations on the fly would be a terrible idea.

    Usability
    Celonis
    Make's easy to understand user interface helps you to visualize what's happening at all times. Could use some tweaks around the navigation from a scenario specifically in the folders and back navigations. I can't tell you the amount of time wasted in that area. When you branch, you can't bring a branch back together in the same scenario which is kind of a bummer as well.

    I can honestly say that the availability of the platform has been incredible, with almost no disruptions during the two years of the implementation. Availability is provided through the distributed architecture that may be deployed in multiple zones. We have had almost no cases of unplanned outages, and most maintenance operations were done during planned downtimes.

    The pricing schema is very attractive, almost 50% lower than the competition. You could start from free and then grow. It has a pretty big library of connections to other apps and services, which really helps you when everything is a mess. Integromat has a really easy-to-use interface. You could do almost everything with fewer than 5 clicks. Scenarios (automation steps to complete a routine) have graphics so you can configure them more easily.

    Integromat allows us to do everything we used to do on Zapier but it doesn't limit us to only the popular apps, with Integromat we're integrating custom APIs and we get data from different servers through GET requests and it's exactly what we needed and Zapier couldn't provide it.

    Return on Investment
    Celonis
    • We used too many credits multiple times and had to buy them additionally, there are no prevention systems to setup to alert before it happens.
    • Some consumption is difficult to understand and requires time and digging.
    • It requires heavy internal effort to simplify things in Make in order for it to operate cheaper.
    • Initial IT setup is paramount and determines a lot.

    • Our company benefited from IBM API Connect's assistance in establishing cooperation with our outside providers and efficiently managing the API. As a result, we were able to expand our vendor ecosystem.
    • Additionally, creating APIs and implementing them on the goods was not too difficult. Additionally, we were able to ensure that only appropriate people could publish the APIs following evaluation by using role-based access control.
    • Our teams were able to reuse and share departmental APIs and services with each other thanks to the simple, self-service developer site.
