I literally was bracing for Maz Kanata like "here comes the freaking Force Awakens Jar-Jar. .. please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't ruin the movie, please JJ, don't fuck this up, not like this ...". Haha.
She wasn't that bad at all. She basically was like The Oracle from the Matrix just not quite as wise/interesting, but there was nothing egregious or over the top looney tunes silly about it. I never got that feeling of "oh the live action characters are totally talking to a tennis ball that was CGIed in later" either. She worked in her scenes and even played well off Harrison Ford, if you have a crappy CGI character they're going to look reeeeally bad next to a Harrison Ford but Maz held her own.
Snoke was the biggest disappointment, shockingly. The whole giant scale thing didn't quite work. If anything Snoke could've just been a guy in a mask too ... it probably would've looked scarier that way. The face wasn't deformed enough to justify the character being CGI in my opinion.
It's not like the character is a waste, they can make him more interesting in VIII, but yeah that was probably the weakest element of the film for me.
