Fast support, good data ingestion, and a nice UI
I am happy with the product. It has solved our business challenges. It is easy to integrate into multiple sources. We did have to use a data transformation tool which would take months to map and transform data that was being dumped into our secure file transfer. Previously, by the time we finished ingesting the data, it was no longer relevant. This has since changed. Therefore, there are no areas needed for improvement.
NR
ERP recommendation specialist at a non-tech company with 1-10 employees
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 Regarding needed improvements, I believe much of the existing documentation is not peer-reviewed.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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Flowgear tool is helping us reduce the manual work that is done."
"Well-managed version control of workflows and the simplicity in promoting workflows through each environment has aided my team in developing workflows for various environments without the risk of losing development work."
"Great for data flow."
"Being able to seamlessly make changes to how one can do mapping visually without having to be a seasoned developer is great."
"It has improved our integration with our data supplier."
"The no-code visual front end, along with pre-built samples, allows someone with very little technical ability to get an integration up and running."
"The solution has increased efficiency and productivity and saved us time and money."
"With n8n, the limit is just the sky."
"For lead generation, I gave all the contacts to n8n and made it write the email and automated the email sending workflow for lead generation, and the conversion rate was around 70%."
"n8n is a really good automation platform where I can use it to automate my businesses and processes and also save money and time."
"n8n helps automate jobs that no one enjoys doing, which are very repetitive, and it saves time and money because it handles those boring tasks that can now be automated."
"I appreciated how n8n can be integrated with other services such as WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and the automation tasks it performs."
"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."
"n8n is pretty flexible when it comes to pricing, setup cost, and licensing when compared to other platforms such as Make and Zapier."
"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."
 

Cons

"The UI could be improved."
"We would like to see more learning videos for beginners."
"The initial setup was a bit complex as we were new."
"The software itself needs to keep up with the daily demand to service all clients as the need arises."
"Currently, when designing and testing larger workflows, the sessions timeout and re-authentications are frequently required."
"The product needs to improve the self-help tools and samples."
"The product would be nice if it could provide the deployment features in the lower packages."
"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."
"When connecting nodes and referring to earlier nodes, the structure that has to be followed is sometimes confusing."
"What I would like for them to improve is to include more nodes and different service provider integrations, just the way Zapier does."
"In my experience, n8n is not very stable, but it has the potential to be more stable."
"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."
"I have set up n8n on our local server, which is on a Contabo-based server, and sometimes it was losing connection."
"n8n has a bit of a learning curve to it; you have to learn a lot."
"However, I feel that for very complex production environments, it still requires considerable fine-tuning and knowledge, and sometimes it might not be fully ready to support large-scale implementations in production."
