FlowFuse Reviews & Product Details

I use FlowFuse to manage, deploy, scale, and secure Node-RED instances, and I find it incredibly valuable for making collaboration easy. It simplifies managing Node-RED projects, building flows on remote instances, and monitoring everything in one place, making it much simpler and more reliable for me. I love how FlowFuse offers everything any IIoT organization needs at an enterprise level and keeps bringing amazing new features every month. It's also really easy to set up.

FlowFuse is the best and professional way to host Node-RED on cloud. Node-RED allows you to develop applications, integrations, user interfaces in a visual, fast, drag and drop way, using no-code, or low-code concept. FlowFuse is not VPS rental, but instances rental. You have no headaches like virtual machine and security administration. There are many other features, such as remote instances administration, easy setup, flows versioning, git integration, one-click deply, built-in mqtt server, custom domain for instances, multi-user dashboards, and so on.

Nothing, you have to look hard to find a negative point. If I had to list one, I would say that the management of multiple users and permissions on the dashboard could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm using FlowFuse to manage distributed Node-RED instances in an industrial IoT setup. What I really like is the ability to keep track of flow versions, deploy changes in a controlled way, and have full audit logs of who did what. The fact that it's open source is a big plus. Together with Node-RED, FlowFuse feels like a Swiss Army knife for IIoT. Lightweight, flexible, and extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there’s not much I dislike. If I had to mention something, it would be that getting started with some of the more advanced features might require a bit of a learning curve—especially if you're new to managing multiple Node-RED instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adds enterprise-level security, interoperability and administration features to the widely known Node-RED low code IOT visual programming tool. It's quick to learn (our pilot project team developed integrations in half the time we estimated) and runs reliably. It's aimed at moderately technical people who understand the systems that they are integrating, and it makes life for those people much easier. We chose to deploy it in our own data centres, which worked well, and a variety of SaaS options are also available. We were easily able to configure the platform for single-sign-on and MFA. On the few occasions we have needed support we have been speaking to an experienced engineer within an hour, and had the problem resolved quickly. The system has been running some key system integrations for us for the last year, and we are looking to expand our use across many more projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Less suitable for non-technical users, so in a different space than some business-focused automation tools that hide the technology. That's not necessarily a criticism - it depends who your users are.

The self-hosting options for large installations are best suited for organizations with modern private cloud infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
