I can create anything!
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that it was not possible to make so many applications speak with each other before and that it is so customizable!
What do you dislike about the product?
More readymade nodes and plugins.. cost needs to go down eventually! Maybe have more blotato kind of services built in. compared to make
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is automating four of my social media forums, allowing me to post platform-specific content based on a single submission, caption, or hashtag idea that I enter into an initial Airtable base. I can even submit this form directly from my phone. My content factory workflows now combine audio and video into single or multiple files, whether stitched together or separate, and send them intelligently to the publishing platforms I choose. There's also a feature to publish immediately or add posts to a queue. I ended up letting go of my social media agency because of this. Just a year ago, managing all of this would have been impossible!
Flexible and powerful automation to optimize daily processes
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility of n8n is what attracts me the most. It allows integrating different tools in a simple and efficient way, without needing advanced programming knowledge. The visual interface greatly facilitates the creation of complex workflows, and the fact that it is open source allows for customizations. Additionally, the community is very active, which helps in finding quick solutions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial learning curve can be a bit challenging for those who have never worked with automations. Some nodes are still limited compared to native integrations from other players, which sometimes requires workarounds. I also notice that, in very large flows, performance can be affected and visualization becomes less practical.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
n8n has been solving integration problems between different systems that previously required a lot of manual work or custom development. With it, we can automate repetitive processes, centralize information, and reduce operational failures. This has brought increased productivity, time savings for the team, and greater agility in delivering results, as well as allowing us to scale processes without proportionally increasing the workload.
The Best Experience for Developers
What do you like best about the product?
This is, by far, the best tool I've ever used. If I have the opportunity and the necessary dedication, I want to delve deeper into learning it. I currently work with Mulesoft, and every time I make a change, I need to restart the local server, which takes quite a while. Being able to fix the results and debug real requests with the same data is something revolutionary, far beyond any other experience I've had.
Integrating with any external tool, like Google Docs, Sheets, GDrive, ChatGPT, integrating with the WhatsApp API has become very easy.
With good training, one can become an implementation machine, given how easy the tool's implementation is.

What do you dislike about the product?
It could spread more in the corporate world and companies see it as a robust tool. A good indicator would be to find job openings in large companies for N8N developers. I searched on LinkedIn and didn't find any.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Today I am studying to see the applicability, but a market where I see a strong path would be the replacement of integration tools like Mulesoft, which has many similar features, but Mulesoft has become expensive. This would make the cost of implementations cheaper from the server's point of view and also from the implementation's perspective.
Self-Hosting Empowerment with Room for Interface Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I found n8n to be excellent for automation, as it has become my top choice over others like Zapier and Make, mainly due to its self-hosting capability, allowing me to run thousands of automations efficiently each week. Setting it up was really straightforward, especially with a few tutorials to master the interface. The platform excels in building AI agents compared to others, as it makes the process incredibly intuitive and straightforward. I also appreciate its direct API connectivity, which was challenging with other platforms. These features make n8n incredibly valuable for connecting diverse systems and creating a fluid workflow. I’m a fan of the system and would willingly pay for it if the pricing plans were more accessible. Huge community and growing exponentially.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the payment plans for n8n to be quite strange and costly, particularly for startups, with prices reaching over $6,000+ a year as a first step. I believe this is a heavy payment burden. Another issue is the user interface and labeling, which could be improved to be more friendly and visually appealing, similar to platforms like GumLoop. Additionally, some features, such as global variables, are hidden or not easily accessible. Those cloud solutions is not for me, as I need private installation but also full-scale features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use n8n to connect different platforms and systems, especially those without native integrations, by directly connecting to APIs, which was difficult with Zapier and Make. This flexibility and self-hosting options allow me to run many automations cost-effectively.
Everything automated
What do you like best about the product?
I like how flexible n8n is—it lets me connect almost anything and automate workflows without much hassle, while still giving me the freedom to customize if I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, its takes me time to build out stuff actually useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
n8n solves the hassle of repetitive manual tasks by letting users automate everything from data syncing to report generation, benefiting by saving time, reducing errors, and giving more control over complex workflows. For example, instead of manually entering leads into our Zoho CRM or keeping tabs on multiple services, n8n automatically connects different apps(Calendar, Slack and many more) so information flows smoothly and nothing falls through the cracks.
Hard to use, Limited features, AI Assistant is useless, Feedback hard to give
What do you like best about the product?
I ama beginner. Seems powerful. It does work well when it does. It has some helpful features.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as easy to use as Make. It is harder to add content from other nodes. It is too reliant on JSON and other code when it is not necessary.
The Nodes have limited features. It does have a nice feature to give feedback at the node level To request features, which I recommend throughout the system.
The AI assistant is always useless, it seems to not even know what the current interface is like, so it's giving me all these instructions that don't line up with the interface with the titles and the boxes, which is my greatest difficulty, Even though I would think it would have access to the very nodes that I have on my screen and know what version I'm using, but it doesn't.
I came to this particular site to give feedback, and it was hard to get to. I had to go into my trash and find an old email from you that asks for feedback . There seems to be no way to access this site through the menus on this user interface. Then I met with rather discouraging words, that you have to have some sort of standard before what I say is published. I don't care about publishing it. Throw it in trash for all I care. I just want to give feedback let you know what I want what I'm doing and let the artificial intelligence that you have figure out what needs to be done with what I say. I don't want to have to go through all these old-fashioned feedback setups. n8n is about automation, so get your feedback more automated. The impression I get is that you don't even want feedback, which makes me not want to continue with this product because I feel like you're not going to succeed because you're not going to have the feedback, and Boy, do you need feedback!!!!

n8n is a powerful tool that gives me the freedom to connect countless software platforms while running everything locally. The ability to self-host means I’m not tied to third-party restrictions, and the flexibility it provides feels almost limitless. At 52, I’m enthusiastic about learning and exploring this technology—it proves that innovation has no age limit. n8n truly delivers virtual freedom and endless possibilities for automation.
What do you dislike about the product?
While n8n is a strong automation tool, there are areas that could be improved. Some features available in the cloud version are not accessible when running locally, which can be frustrating for self-hosted users. Setting up Gmail connections through a tunnel can also be challenging, requiring extra effort. Additionally, error messages are often vague and could benefit from clearer descriptions to make troubleshooting more straightforward.
