What actually differs

Celonis is process mining: it reads event logs from systems like SAP, Salesforce and ServiceNow, reconstructs how processes actually run, and shows where they stall or leak money. It is an enterprise platform, sold to large companies and usually rolled out with consultants.

Make (formerly Integromat) is visual workflow automation: you drag apps onto a canvas and connect them, so a form submission can create a CRM record, post to Slack and update a spreadsheet. Anyone can start on their own, and pricing scales with the number of operations you run.
