I use n8n to build AI automations because it solves repetitive tasks, saving time and money. What I like most about n8n is that you can build AI workflows and automations without needing much experience in coding. It's a low-code platform, so you can even create workflows with zero coding experience. Although it requires some initial learning, it is much easier than learning how to code from scratch.

Sometimes when a workflow receives too much pressure, it crashes. I hope they make their platform able to handle heavy loads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the learning curve is a bit longer, but with appropriate study, it is an excellent tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

n8n stands out as one of the most dependable automation platforms I have worked with. Building workflows is simple, thanks to its intuitive user interface, and the self-hosting experience is robust. I operate it on Docker Swarm with several replicas and rolling updates, and upgrades have consistently gone smoothly with almost no downtime—even as AI agents and workflows continued to run. It offers an excellent combination of flexibility, with features like code nodes and integrations, and the stability needed for production environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When dealing with complex workflows, debugging remains a time-consuming process. Tracing data as it moves through numerous nodes or runs is not always straightforward, and the error messages provided are often too generic to be truly helpful. Additionally, managing large workflows—such as handling versioning, reusing subflows, and maintaining readability—could use further refinement. Some of the newer AI-related features and nodes also seem less mature, often requiring additional tuning and the implementation of extra guardrails before they are ready for production use.

The concept of orchestration, ease of use, and product intelligence: it supports without over-automating.

Workflows are now fully part of the IT environment. The ability to centralize, on a single interface, access to multiple services and specialized containers (in my case) is particularly powerful.

The readability of a workflow's progress, tracking the number of processed elements, error management, and the ability to inspect inputs/outputs at each step—even on workflows with more than twenty steps—make debugging and optimization truly enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my version (2.9.3), the sticky notes are not really "sticky" to the canvas, which slightly limits their usefulness.

A deeper integration of MS Office formats in the Community edition would also be appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

N8N is one of the most flexible solutions for quickly setting up an AI agent for your business. It doesn’t require using a specific vendor or AI provider, and the pricing model is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does feel a little bit do-it-yourself, which is fine for what it provides. However, for a non-technical person getting started, there is a bit of a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

n8n is an incredibly affordable automation tool with powerful capabilities. The self-deployment option on Hostinger Cloud is cost-effective and gives you complete control. The visual workflow builder is intuitive, and it supports extensive integrations. Great tool for automation-heavy projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback is the steep learning curve. Advanced workflow configuration requires understanding of JavaScript and data structures. Documentation could be more comprehensive for beginners. Setup and deployment, while affordable, demands technical knowledge that might intimidate non-technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to drag and drop the nodes and modules without coding. You need to know how and where to insert the API's but workflows can be completed in a short time.

My membership expires in 2 days, and I wish I had the money to try another month to really get into it. So many things came up and I just didn't get the amount of time I wanted to dig in.

I also believe that it would be wise and beneficial to know this platform, regardless of what direction AI takes. It pays to know the inner workings of everything so it would be easier to troubleshoot.

The other thing is there are a multitude of integrations and ways to implement with ease. You could build just about anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if you could switch back to the instance easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing I don’t like is that it looks simple at first, but once you start building real workflows, it gets pretty technical fast. You end up dealing with APIs, JSON, and expressions more than you expect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use n8n in every aspect of my business. It's bolted everywhere. Not only that, but I also encourage every client to use it. To me, it's the best platform for automation, as it's agnostic and can connect to the tools clients already use, and it's paired with AI. It’s our de facto tool for automations and workflows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

n8n is great for any business, and I encourage anyone to give it a try! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the simplicity of using n8n. It's easy to interact with the platform and there's a good workflow. The pre-built templates are something I find very useful as they save a lot of time, especially when working on new projects or requests. I also appreciate the templates, instructions, and all the guidelines available. Setting up n8n is pretty easy, even for someone not very technical, as it allows me to connect different platforms and handle technicalities without having to learn coding or deal with backend APIs.

I think the admin user interface is a little bit too simple, and I think sometimes it's hard to get the settings that I want to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
