I love the UI, best tool on the market, in comparison to Make or Zapier. We can self-host it, setting the limits far higher.

The number of integration is far enough, and to play with the HTTP request additionnaly is nice enough.

The fact that we can easely integrate javascript is very helpful.

Over the recent years, n8n has helped us getting deeper into using IA, which is absolutely necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The online documentation is not good enough, fortunately n8n gave us an AI RAG tool to discuss with the documentation, making it way better.

Also, it feels like we miss templates, to understand how people used specific tools. For now it feels like the template are pretty much the same, too simple for real company usecases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oh, ease of use. Unlimited posibilities. Having the code nodes gives incredible flexibility to do whatever I need. What it used to take FOREVER to do with MULE like 20 years ago, now it takes you minutes to accomplish. Having so many nodes allowing you to integrate with plenty of systems is super useful. Being able to plug AI into the flow to make decisions is also super valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say I dislike something about N8N, but I have ran into issues when setting up nodes, as the documentation in Chat GPT is not accurate.

But that is not N8N's fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a whole lot of nodes to work with for every service and workflow. It’s open source, which makes it possible to self-host on our servers and connect it to a custom domain. Automation can be implemented to cover more than enough business requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some people may find it difficult to authenticate with the service providers. Notion, Google, and similar service nodes can also be challenging for a beginner to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like n8n for several reasons. It’s incredibly flexible and lets you build complex, multi-step workflows that fit your exact needs, which is great if you want to connect different APIs and customize logic. I also appreciate that it’s open-source, so you can self-host, extend it with custom nodes, and have full control over your workflows. It’s very cost-effective, especially for smaller teams or personal projects, and the community is active, so there’s a lot of shared knowledge, examples, and support. On top of that, it balances no-code and low-code features nicely, allowing people to build useful automations without needing to write everything from scratch, while still giving advanced users the option to code where needed.

Some popular apps don’t have built-in nodes, so integrations can require extra setup. Performance can lag with very complex or data-heavy workflows, particularly if the instance isn’t optimized, but the flexibility, control, and cost-effectiveness tend to outweigh these challenges for someone focused on AI automation and custom solutions.

The thousands of integrations make all the difference for both personal and professional projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

visual flow and option of unlimited workflows, flexible with code node Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like to see more built-in frontend capabilities, especially features that make it easier to build internal business tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i like about n8n is i can use deterministic workflows for reliability and AI agents only where reasoning is needed. That’s probably more practical than the “fully autonomous agent” hype everywhere right now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing n8n can definitely improve is the deployment experience. Building workflows is easy and powerful, but deploying and maintaining n8n in production is still quite complicated.

Setting up Docker, SSL, reverse proxy, Redis, workers, environment variables, and scaling takes a lot of technical effort, especially for small teams or non-DevOps users. Sometimes even small configuration mistakes can break executions or webhooks.

I’d love to see:

simpler one-click deployment

easier cloud/VPS setup

built-in scaling and monitoring

simpler backup & restore options

better error debugging/log visibility

smoother setup for queue/workers mode Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the out-of-the-box features of n8n, especially its integration capabilities with the majority of popular software available online. The test executions and the history of executions make debugging really easy. Also, working with the MCP offered as a third-party solution is very straightforward for creating new workflows, particularly with the usage of large language models.

Well, until we set up the automated error handling, notifications to Teams, there were occasions where we missed some workflow was working, but then, for example, some API format have changed or new documents have arrived and was not properly handled by our workflows. And then the workflow was dead for a couple of days. So maybe some things about error handling that could be built in, like email notifications. And then the backup solution, we had an opportunity where the virtual machine that hosts n8n was deleted, and then we struggled a little bit with reverting the n8n configuration from the backup.

No code integration with a lot of SaaS in the world, no reinventing the wheel It's depend on your own prompt and what tools you gave n8n - so it's more like user/builder bears the full responsibility - if anything is good/bad - it isn't n8n's merid/fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When your workflow gets complex it becomes impossible to refactor or you get vendor locked in. Business/Enterprise pricing is not worth the money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the flexibility and control that n8n offers, especially when creating custom workflows that save me a lot of time. I particularly like that I can self-host n8n, which gives me full control over my data and processes without relying on external providers. The ability to automate workflows and connect different tools is a great advantage for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With very complex workflows, it quickly becomes confusing and debugging can become somewhat tedious. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
