What I appreciate most about n8n is its flexibility and power. The tool allows for the creation of complex automations while remaining relatively easy to use. The wide variety of integrations, the visual logic of workflows, and the customization possibilities make it a very effective solution for automating business processes. It is a reliable, scalable tool well-suited to both technical needs and more functional uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, I still miss two small features to achieve absolute automated happiness 😊

1. Management and saving of credentials

It would be very appreciated to be able to save the credentials either locally or on the network, in order to easily re-import them in case of server change, migration, or crash (which we obviously prefer to avoid, but you never know).

2. Organization of the canvas

I love workflows that breathe order and serenity. A feature allowing:

- to align a group of nodes vertically, horizontally (or both),

- and to set a regular spacing between the selected nodes (vertical or horizontal),

would make the canvas even more pleasant to use... and would greatly please fans of well-organized workflows, of which I am one 🙂 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about n8n is the amount of control it gives me compared to typical automation tools. The visual workflow builder is straightforward to follow, yet it still lets you add custom logic, write code, and make API calls whenever you need to.

Being able to self-host it is a major advantage, especially for privacy and keeping costs under control. Overall, it feels more flexible than tools like Zapier when I want to build more complex workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside is that it has a learning curve, especially if you’re not familiar with APIs or workflow logic. Setting up more advanced automations can take time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love n8n's capability to handle any sort of automation I can imagine. It's amazing I use it every day to get notifications for new leads and connect automations to Google Sheets and my VAPI voice bots. It also integrates with every other app effortlessly, and if an app isn't integrated already, I can easily configure it using JSON or other APIs. I consider n8n more capable and affordable compared to alternatives like Zapier, and this switch has made my life easier. Also, setting it up was very simple.

There is nothing that I dislike about n8n. It's an amazing product and I highly recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With n8n you can integrate pretty much any tool if there's an API available for it, I've integrated mutliple tools using it... for which I would've had to wait on developers otherwise.

Plus, you can connect multiple AI Models, and kind of bring in AI Agents in workflow, be it for research or task executions like Posting on Social Media, Newsletters etc.

And, you can find tons of workflow templates on their marketplace (plus, n8n being widely known, you can find tons of templates that can be implemented in your business e.g. AI Newsletter Creation, Automated Outreach, Social Media Posting etc.)

Best part, they also have a community edition that you can host on your server (when you only pay for server cost) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that I can think of at the moment for this if we exclude learning it takes a bit of time, and you need to know a bit of API things to make the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

n8n is simply outstanding for anyone who needs serious, flexible automation. As the founder of ScribaVerse, an Italian digital publishing platform, I adopted n8n to automate our editorial and operational workflows. The visual node-based workflow editor is incredibly intuitive yet powerful: you can build complex multi-step automations, branching logic, and even full AI agents with just a few nodes. What sets n8n apart is the unique combination of a low-code interface and the ability to write custom JavaScript or Python expressions whenever the visual approach isn't enough. The self-hosting option is a huge plus for privacy and cost control — we run n8n on our own infrastructure at ScribaVerse, which gives us complete data ownership. The most impressive feature is the AI/LangChain integration: I built an AI agent that handles author inquiries automatically, classifying messages by topic and generating contextual responses. This saved hours of manual work daily. The community is outstanding: the official forum is active, documentation is thorough, and there's a constantly growing library of workflow templates.

The initial learning curve can be steep for non-technical users — especially when dealing with advanced concepts like expressions, data transformation, or setting up self-hosted instances with Docker. At ScribaVerse, onboarding collaborators to n8n took some time because the expression syntax and data structure manipulation require a solid understanding of JavaScript. The error messages, while useful for developers, can be cryptic for less technical users. The cloud (n8n.cloud) pricing escalates quickly at higher execution volumes, which is why we chose to self-host. Some nodes still lack comprehensive documentation, so for less common integrations you occasionally have to dig through community posts. The UI also tends to slow down when workflows grow beyond 40-50 nodes. Finally, there is no built-in version control for workflows, which made rollback management somewhat challenging.

I like how easy n8n is to set up, and I appreciate that we don't have to code every single thing. n8n provides all the nodes we need, and if there are any nodes that aren't available, we can easily add them using the API node or the code node. It’s also great for creating AI automations to enrich leads with emails and phone numbers, even if the automation requires custom API setups. Adding nodes like the Google Sheets node to enrich data and assist the SDR team with outreach is really beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such, If you need anything more than n8n then probably custom code is the best option for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can automate a lot of processes and connect just about anything. And if it can’t do it directly, you can still make it work through custom nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connecting credentials is often a hassle. Also, when one part of the flow breaks, it tends to bring everything else down with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

n8n lets you connect apps, APIs, databases, and AI models into automated workflows using a visual node-based editor. Each node represents a step like triggering events, transforming data, or calling APIs.Unlike many tools, n8n doesn’t limit complex workflows or charge per step. This is why many AI engineers and companies prefer n8n. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

n8n has a steeper learning curve compared to tools like Zapier, workflows can become complex and harder to debug as they grow, self-hosting requires ongoing maintenance and infrastructure management, and some integrations are less polished or community-maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The wide range of features and integrations it offers is a big plus. We can integrate almost all of our daily-use tools and APIs with n8n. And since it’s open source, we can do it at a very low cost. Overall, it helps us make our system more intelligent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not anything in my mind to dislike but still less documentation and less support on some of the tools integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone building flows to streamline marketing, sales, and renewal processes, n8n is liked mainly for its flexibility and control. It allows you to design highly customized workflows that go beyond basic triggers and actions, which is especially useful when dealing with complex lead journeys, CRM logic, or renewal reminders tied to usage or contract data. The ability to self-host, use JavaScript for custom logic, and connect deeply with tools like CRMs, email platforms, databases, and internal systems makes it cost-effective and powerful for scaling automation without being locked into rigid pricing tiers or templates.

n8n can feel heavy and technical, particularly for non-technical marketing or sales teams. The learning curve is steeper, as you often need to understand JSON structures, APIs, and error handling to build reliable flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
