Chief Architect at Peristent Systems
Great for identifying hotspots, has an excellent knowledge map, and makes it easy to find files
The three main aspects we like are: 1. Hotspots: This is the core of the product and helps us to focus on the smaller and most impactful areas of the codebase. 2. Code Health and Code Complexity: This helps us understand the issues and what we need to fix and how. CodeScene provides a summary of the method and function level and helps focus on a smaller section of the files instead of looking at everything all at once. 3. Knowledge Map: This helps us understand team dynamics such as how developers have worked on the code and how fragmented the code is. There's information around knowledge loss and knowledge islands that is very informative.

Automation has transformed complex workflows and has empowered non‑technical teams to build flows
Regarding improvements for n8n, I would highlight two areas. First, while there is a growing community, the ecosystem of pre-built nodes for niche or proprietary systems still lags behind some commercial competitors. I often have to build custom HTTP request nodes or create my own node packages, which is doable but adds to project timelines. Second, features for team collaboration and lifecycle management are still evolving. Moving workflows from development to staging to production can be a manual export-import process, and native Git integration and more robust user roles for larger client teams would be a game-changer. Regarding needed improvements, I believe much of the existing documentation is not peer-reviewed. There is definitely a big community, but if the documentation or tutorials were approved or at least had a badge from n8n, customers would feel that this meets the standards of n8n editors themselves, which would give more confidence in the flows.

Pros

"CodeScene provides a summary of the method and function level and helps focus on a smaller section of the files instead of looking at everything all at once."
"The best features of n8n are reading documents like Google Sheets and Google Drive, and especially the AI agent functionality, the Agent Mode and AI agent nodes, which I find very amazing, along with webhooks and HTTP nodes."
"The best features of n8n are its low-code capabilities with everything at your disposal."
"The low-code interface and the quick code writing within n8n that we can do and utilize is very helpful; it brings in efficiency, better time to market, and actually helps us."
"The best feature of n8n, in my opinion, is its flexibility, self-hosting capability, and the ability to build complex workflows with full control."
"My recommendation is to start with n8n if you have any need for automation or integration, especially if you value control, cost predictability, and technical transparency."
"One positive impact that n8n has had on my customers' organizations is significantly less hassle over SEO or reaching out to clients and scheduling meetings."
"The user-friendly interface positively impacted the team's workflow efficiency."
"The solution is absolutely efficient in terms of usage and is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The generated reports could be improved further."
"They haven't fully helped tailor solutions for our needs."
"I don't think it is highly scalable, but it is scalable at a moderate level for companies which have 200 to 500 clients daily; the daily throughput is of 200 to 500 clients."
"Currently, most products nowadays include walkthrough or guide videos, short videos of 20 to 30 seconds that inform about any particular button or action, which n8n product does not have."
"What I would like for them to improve is to include more nodes and different service provider integrations, just the way Zapier does."
"The localized implementation is a bit complex and we definitely need some developers involved within this process."
"n8n has a bit of a learning curve to it; you have to learn a lot."
"There are limitations in scalability."
"I have set up n8n on our local server, which is on a Contabo-based server, and sometimes it was losing connection."

n8n currently has Python in the beta version, and if it can be fully released, it would be more amazing because JS is working very well, but if Python is added as a standard feature, the results wi...

I run an automation agency at orbiscr.com, and we use n8n for our projects. We create systems for others to use in their business automation rather than for our own use, and we use n8n to build the...
