n8n is the Backbone of My Workflow
What do you like best about the product?
n8n has quietly become one of those tools I can’t imagine not having in my stack. It’s open-source, flexible, and doesn’t box me into the kind of limitations I’ve hit with Zapier or Make. The visual workflow builder makes it easy to map ideas into reality, and the huge library of nodes covers most of what I use daily. The biggest win for me is the sense of ownership—being able to extend, tweak, or even build my own nodes without waiting for a vendor to decide if my use case is worth supporting.
That said, n8n isn’t a frictionless “plug and play” experience. There’s definitely a learning curve, especially once you start building more complex logic or hit authentication quirks. The documentation is improving but can still feel patchy when you’re troubleshooting edge cases.
For the right person, though, this is a powerhouse. If you like tinkering, value flexibility, and want to own your automations instead of renting them, n8n is incredible. It really is the Linux of automation—open, powerful, and customizable. Not everyone will want to deal with the upkeep, but if you’re after long-term scalability and freedom, it’s hard to beat.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main struggle with n8n is the learning curve. While the drag-and-drop builder is intuitive at a glance, things get tricky once you dive into advanced logic or work with less common integrations. Sometimes you need to understand concepts like expressions, error handling, or node dependencies to really get the outcome you want, and that can feel overwhelming if you’re coming from simpler tools. Once you get over that hump, though, the flexibility pays off.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The real problem n8n solves for me is fragmentation. Before, I had different tools duct-taped together, each with its own limits and rising costs. n8n gives me a single hub where I can connect apps, data, and custom logic in one place. Instead of being boxed into whatever integrations another platform decides to support, I can actually design workflows around my needs. That means I spend less time fighting with workarounds and more time building systems that actually run the way I want. The benefit is freedom—freedom from vendor lock-in, freedom to experiment, and freedom to scale my automations without worrying about cost spirals.
Great product, but wish self-hosting for business was more affordable
What do you like best about the product?
The usability and ease of learning are excellent. The range of things the application can achieve is impressive. It was easy to implement and delivered quick results. Our business analysts picked it up rapidly and were able to create automations that would have been impossible without an iPaaS like n8n. The frequency of updates has been a major highlight, with development moving quickly and consistently improving the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of a dedicated customer support channel unless you are on a higher-tier plan is frustrating. Even a low-priority support desk would make a big difference, as relying on forums can be unreliable when issues arise. Another drawback was discovering that there are no reasonably priced self-hosted plans for small to mid-sized businesses. This forced us to use the cloud-hosted version, which was significantly more expensive and less practical for our needs. A more affordable self-hosting option with reduced capacity limits would have been a much better fit. Additionally, requiring external API exposure instead of allowing local integrations adds unnecessary complexity and risk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
n8n allows us to build simple integrations with more flexibility and nuance than tools like Power Automate. This has been hugely beneficial for smaller projects across the business, giving teams access to automation where tasks would have previously been handled manually. It has saved time, reduced repetitive work, and made automation accessible to a wider group of staff.
Powerful and flexible automation without the hassle
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about n8n is the freedom it provides to design complex workflows without relying heavily on code. Its visual interface makes the learning curve fast, while still offering the power to customize with JavaScript or advanced integrations. Being open-source and self-hostable also gives a level of control that few similar tools can match.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the documentation is not as clear or detailed, especially when working with more complex integrations or advanced production setups. I’ve also noticed that performance may require some optimization when handling workflows with a high volume of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
n8n helps us automate repetitive tasks and connect tools that don’t natively integrate with each other. Instead of manually moving data between systems, we’ve built workflows that sync information, trigger notifications, and streamline processes across our stack. This saves valuable time, reduces human error, and allows us to scale operations without adding extra resources.
Excellent app!!
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and practical, it greatly reduces the work of automation with the use of AI. Ease of use from tool selection to application integration, with a large volume of resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
The costs could be a little lower for those who are still in training with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
automation of critical processes with integrated use of AI
Low-code workflows simplify integrations but documentation can improve
What is our primary use case?
n8n is actually used for many workflows, specific to healthcare and the supply chain industry, though I cannot say anything specific and must remain abstract.
I have used n8n to connect diverse applications across different operating systems and different API calls. However, I am yet to see direct access to queues and Kafka queues.
What is most valuable?
The best features of n8n are its low-code capabilities with everything at your disposal. The connectors are getting enriched, which is beneficial. It's all about these low-code tools. I don't see any difference between this and classical EAI; it's a kind of integration where we are doing extensive integration with different sources and targets, and here we are interacting with different sources and targets to apply the enriched data to the models and everything so that it makes better decisions.
What needs improvement?
They haven't fully helped tailor solutions for our needs. We need to make adjustments, enhancements, and create custom workflows. I'm not saying it is completely ready at this time, but it solved most of our purposes. You cannot ask for everything as these products are getting to a matured stage, so we have to give some time for them to reach maturity.
Regarding integrations, if they can make it more seamless and beef up their workflow constructs, that would be great.
Another improvement would be in making n8n more popular through a similar approach to Kafka's documentation. Kafka has created ten-minute capsules of every use case, covering basics, foundational concepts, and each construct in detail. If a newbie spends at least a week studying the documentation, they'll be equally proficient. Any experienced person, senior developer, or architect who goes through Kafka's documentation and videos will have a good jumpstart. If n8n applies a similar methodology, that would benefit the entire community and help them grow faster.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have experience with n8n for approximately one plus years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
The initial setup was not complex; it was straightforward.
How are customer service and support?
I did not get much opportunity to deal with their customer service or technical support for n8n.
How would you rate customer service and support?
How was the initial setup?
What about the implementation team?
As a chief principal architect, I maintain a hands-on approach to implementation.
What other advice do I have?
The documentation in general was adequate, though it could definitely be better. However, it was decent enough for what I needed.
On a scale of 1-10, I rate n8n a seven out of ten.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Other
Is there anything N8N can't do? Love this platform, so many cool templates to get you started
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can build an AI agent and connect to your business software to learn / work with, and best of all, most of the common solutions exist as templates
