We can connect many third-party apps, ERP software, and tools using node mode, and the configuration is easy to set up. Each node already has settings options, making it easy to connect each node. The automation flow is shown with icons or nodes, with lines indicating the connections.. And of course, there is a node for the AI Agent where we can write the prompt, role, tools to use and constraints for the Agent. It also offers plenty of AI models to connect to, so we can use one for the Agent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For the AI Agent Node, I found it quite difficult to write the prompt. I’d really appreciate some suggestions or a template to get started. For the free-text prompt (role, tools, constraints, etc.), it would also help if you could provide a structured text format and/or a combo box for each option, so it feels more like filling in a template rather than starting from scratch.

I like that it gave me full control over the objects on the page and I was able to create exactly what I wanted and not be bound by the limitations of other systems like Make or Manus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I didn't like about NA to N was when I did have to write custom scripts or code to do things. I found the documentation a little bit lacking. There could be better samples like IntelliSense or something that would help move the process along in a much better way Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the self-hosting capability, it's free, massive API integration options, and it doesn't have a limit of nodes or runs like make does. also love the visual nodes on canvas Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not dislike something in particular. maybe the dislike that Firefly III isn't pre-installed like others, and also that it doesn't tell me that I can install it (I have to google for optional nodes) a panel with install / all modules like in vscode, that also search on the internet for me, would be an improvement.

What I like best about n8n is its flexibility and user-friendly workflow automation. The visual workflow builder makes it easy to connect different applications and automate repetitive tasks without having to write everything from scratch. I especially like the ability to combine low-code nodes with custom JavaScript for handling complex business logic. The integration of AI models like Gemini is another great feature, as it helps automate tasks such as converting structured data into clear, natural-language business comments. Overall, n8n has helped me streamline recurring supply chain processes and reduce manual effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area that could be improved is the initial learning curve when building complex workflows, especially when configuring integrations, authentication, and data mapping. Troubleshooting errors can sometimes be challenging, and certain nodes or features may behave differently depending on the n8n version. More detailed documentation and clearer error messages would make the experience smoother. Overall, though, the flexibility of the platform makes it worth learning.

Easy to use and intuitive. With the help of AI, you can create insane workflows, and the automatizations in n8n feel like they have endless possibilities. It is FREE!! And you can use all kinds of APIs like Google workspace... It rarely ever bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have to rely on an external AI to guide my work. I’m not a coder, so I really do need that kind of AI help, and it’s annoying having to keep switching between tabs. I wish there were something built in to guide me through the process as I go. I do like n8n academy, but an onboarding AI inside the product would be really nice.

I like how it makes integrating platforms with each other easy. We used it to replace manual work, especially by integrating online ecommerce marketplaces with our webshop if there is no connection available inside our WMS software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that you can’t simply let ai create the whole flows perfectly. Like you can create literally everything with for example Claude code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about n8n is its flexibility. I can build workflows visually, but I can also drop in JavaScript or use APIs whenever I need more control. It works really well for connecting different tools and automating repetitive tasks, without ever making me feel boxed in or too limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I dislike about n8n is that it becomes harder to manage as workflows get more complex. The UI is intuitive for the basics, but once you’re dealing with larger workflows full of nodes, conditions, and API calls, things can get messy and debugging can take a while. I also wish some of the error messages were more informative, especially when something breaks somewhere in the middle of a workflow and it’s not immediately clear where the failure started. Pricing is another factor as usage grows, although I still think the flexibility and level of control make it good value compared with some alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hands down, what I like best about n8n is its UI and UX. The ability to see the connections between the different nodes, how the input becomes the output, and where your flow breaks, makes it much easier to resolve issues, both when you're reviewing the build portion and also looking at a process that has run through it.

At first it seemed overwhelming, a beast of a program. But it's so well supported, and so much information is available, that it quickly disappeared as a potential problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been using n8n for a few months now, and overall I'm really impressed with it. What I like most is the balance between simplicity and flexibility. You can build basic workflows in minutes using the visual editor, but if you need more advanced logic, it's easy to drop into JavaScript and customize things exactly the way you want.

Compared to some other automation platforms I've used, n8n feels much less restrictive. Being able to self-host it was a big plus for me because it gives more control over data and avoids some of the limitations and pricing models of cloud-only solutions.

The number of integrations is already quite good, and when a connector doesn't exist, the HTTP Request node usually makes it possible to connect to almost any API. I've used it for IT operations, notifications, data synchronization, and a few AI-related workflows without running into major issues.

That said, it's not perfect. Some workflows can become harder to maintain as they grow larger, and occasionally I've had to spend time debugging expressions or node configurations. The documentation is generally helpful, but there were a few situations where I had to search community forums to find the answer.

Overall, n8n has become one of my favorite automation tools. It's powerful enough for complex use cases while still being approachable for people who aren't full-time developers. If you want a workflow automation platform that gives you a lot of freedom without locking you into a specific ecosystem, it's definitely worth trying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is that its opensource (which means its almost totally free) and the community modules built around it is massive.. Plus The mcp integration it has is great. I literally connect this with my codex and ask it to build the entire n8n workflow to me and it does amazing job.

The Ui is good but I still like the UI of make.com better than this but overall not much complain here.

Regarding Performance, I self host and use it. I hosted this on a $5 vps of netcup and it works pretty well for my use case and never had a problem. I think there can be problem when there are many tasks in queue and for parallelism but for major tasks, there is no issue at all

The good part of n8n is the community it has. I can find tons of people in reddit and discord to support me when I am stuck in any issue. Onboaridng is also much smoother. I would suggest the first task to do is create an api and connect this with codex/claude code and see the magic happen from there Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Make and zapier makes it much easier to connect this with facebook ads but while in case of n8n, its not that easy.

Plus make.com provides a free starter plan to try this out. I wish n8n had some very basic free plan (on cloud) so that it can be easy for beginners to get started with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
