What do you like best about n8n?

1/ Open license - can self-host

2/ very powerfull functionally - way more powerfull than peers

3/ code node- can do magic

4/ it's already pretty mature and stable piece of software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about n8n?

1/ still has quite a lot of bugs/ unexpected behavours. But in most cases you can find a workaround

2/ pretty tech-heavy for newbies, not suitable to start in the space for non-tech person

3/ docs aren't thorough enough, need to search the community forum a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is n8n solving and how is that benefiting you?

I started in no-/low-code automation with Zapier around 18 months ago. Quickly swithed to Make.com. Havent had any previous coding experience - just some JS/python tutorials from youtube. Now with self-hosted n8n I do things, which would cost thousands on Make.com, and tens of thousdands on Zapier (if possible at all). My workflows perform millions of operations every month.

pros/cons balance makes it great product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Johannes Schneider of n8n

What do you like best about n8n?

This platform seamlessly combines advanced automation with LangChain expertise, creating a solution that feels both sophisticated and incredibly well thought out. It’s not just about LangChain or automation individually—it’s as if a master chef reimagined McDonald’s into a luxury dining experience: the same core offerings but elevated to a whole new level.

Every feature is carefully designed to save time without feeling overwhelming. For example, the precision in setting fields and processing outputs is outstanding—fine-tuned to perfection. After trying numerous other solutions, this one stood out as everything I could have hoped for and more.

The built-in AI agent is a game-changer. It understands the context of your project, providing insightful feedback that truly enhances productivity. This level of integration and thoughtfulness deserves a 10 out of 10.

I’m taking the time to write this review because I’m genuinely grateful for the effort the development team has put into making such an exceptional product. If you have the means, I highly encourage subscribing to the cloud version to support them. While a free version is available, this is a product worth investing in to ensure its continued growth and success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about n8n?

While I haven’t personally encountered this limitation, I can see pricing becoming a potential bottleneck. Unlike Make, which charges per action, this tool charges per workflow execution, allowing you to include hundreds of actions in a single workflow. However, because the tool is so effective and user-friendly, it’s easy to get carried away and add more workflows, which can cause costs to increase quickly—especially at an enterprise level.

That said, the value it provides is undeniable. While I wouldn’t call it cheap, it’s worth the investment for what you get. On the cloud version, costs can add up, but it’s still a practical choice for production-level use cases, where the benefits often outweigh the expense.

Alternatively, the self-hosted version avoids recurring costs but comes with its own set of challenges, such as requiring technical expertise for setup and maintenance. If you’re using this tool for more than personal projects, the cloud version is likely the better option despite the expense. It can be costly depending on your usage, but it’s by no means unaffordable for the value it delivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about n8n?

I run an business process automation company and I used to mostly work in Make before I tried n8n. I was blown away with the features and flexibility it offers, compared to Make. It doesn't mean Make is not a capable platform - on the contrary, it's great - but if you know a thing or two about JavaScript or you're not afraid to learn a few JS methods (to use in n8n expressions), n8n will make you 'unstoppable' and let you build workflows quicker than Make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about n8n?

Nothing I dislike about it. It has a bit steeper learning curve and is more low-code than no-code — meaning, users with basic coding skills will feel more comfortable using it. Also, compared to Make, has less pre-built modules (or at least the ones I use the most), but it's not a problem with custom HTTP requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about n8n?

n8n offers unparalleled automation possibilities, from simple tasks to the creation of complex workflows and even complete applications.

The community is highly active and makes it easy to quickly master the tool, provided you invest some time, of course.

The platform quickly adapts to new technological demands: the implementation of AI agents has been a game changer for many users.

And let’s not forget the option to install n8n locally on your own server, allowing you to create custom nodes or leverage those shared by the community.

Long live n8n and all the flow creators out there!

May the flow be with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about n8n?

Although n8n is incredible, the barrier to entry is slightly higher compared to other tools. However, with a bit of time and effort, everything can be learned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about n8n?

n8n is blazing fast, innovative, and incredibly efficient for creating all kinds of workflows. As a RevOps professional, I rely on it to manage and optimize internal processes seamlessly.

What sets n8n apart is how quickly they roll out new features—it's one of the only tools where I eagerly read every release note. Although I’m not a developer, I know how to code, and n8n strikes the perfect balance between accessibility and power.

They also provide valuable resources, like AI-powered workflows, templates, and insightful webinars, all publicly available to the community.

I genuinely love n8n and can confidently attribute at least 5% of my business impact directly to using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about n8n?

Honestly, it’s tough to find flaws. On rare occasions, there might be a slight misunderstanding of how something behaves, but the documentation is solid, so these moments are extremely rare.

As for features that don’t exist yet—well, n8n typically releases them before I even have to make a request! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is n8n solving and how is that benefiting you?

n8n enables me to quickly produce MVPs, build data pipelines, and automate workflows to meet my business needs with ease. Its seamless integrations eliminate the need to create and maintain a dedicated infrastructure for hosting custom code.

Additionally, n8n simplifies the deployment of AI models and AI agents, making advanced automation accessible without the usual complexity. This has been a game-changer for streamlining operations and driving efficiency in my role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use it in the cloud or locally; you are in (cost)control! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about n8n?

Every low-code solution has the constraints of a low-code tool. If you are building diverse solutions, you will now and then run into the boundaries of what's possible, and you have to work around it. But I have used most of them over the years, and this drawback pops up in all of them, AI or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's difficult for people who don't know programming at all, so I think there will be hurdles in deploying it throughout the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about n8n?

Whenever I need anything done in any way, n8n handles it. It has many features, it's easy to use and if I need something really customized, I have that option. Customer support has been excellent so far. I plan to use n8n more and more often. Most of the time the integration is easy, but sometimes the difficulty comes more in imagining how the data should flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about n8n?

It's easy to deploy in Docker and not so easy to run queue mode with a Postgres database. I think this is something that a beginner with no devops experience will find hard to master. Some features are not so obvious, such as paging on HTTP requests. Or error messages if something goes wrong, for example with the Code node. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is n8n solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves time. Proof of concept is quickly created, making it very easy to verify viability and some return on investment. At work we use n8n for data manipulation. For personal use, I use n8n mainly to offload tedious tasks like filling in spreadsheets with data from email. I plan to use n8n to learn more about LM and LLM.
