IsaacNelson - PeerSpot reviewer
Business automation Expert at INSTRUTECH LIMITED
Automation has transformed voice-based customer workflows and now saves time and staffing costs
What I like about n8n is the ability to customize your workflow. I can do virtually anything with n8n with the HTTP request node. I can customize anything and do any automation with it. Unlike some other automation platforms, I am not limited in my own customization. n8n's user interface is very good. Recently, they upgraded their service to include AI. I can just talk to the interface. For example, I can type what I want to achieve, and the AI will build the framework for me so that I just need to input my credentials and then start the automation. They have a very friendly user interface. Data privacy is handled well in the sense that my information is saved with me. I am not worried about data privacy because everything is stored in my own virtual environment. My clients know that the information is not leaking or being sold to anybody.
Sathish Pamisetty - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Argano
Security and integration features are appreciated but some bugs need addressing

Additionally, Oracle Integration Cloud Service provides tools such as PCS and Apex for building user interfaces, allowing users to create UIs with drag-and-drop features. Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers capabilities for data customization and validation, handling different date formats, and API calls using REST and SOAP. With approximately 60 to 70 adapters, it allows integration with systems such as SAP, Salesforce, and ERP. Oracle Integration Cloud Service also comes with pre-built adapters, offering easy setup and security features such as OAuth for connecting with systems such as Salesforce.
