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.

Integrated analytics have streamlined healthcare risk adjustment and improved visit targeting
The best features that SAS Viya Platform offers are the easy visualization of the results, which stands out for me, and also the ease of using the AI agents to describe the problem and come up with the solution. The visualization and AI agent features of SAS Viya Platform help me in my day-to-day work. For example, one aspect of the visualization is how by looking at the graphs, you can determine which area, such as the plan area in the healthcare insurance field, we need to focus on and where we are falling short. It is easily visualized, mostly for the marketing team in the provider area that needs to concentrate there. SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization. Previously, the team had SAS developers and the data was fed into a different visualization tool such as Tableau or Power BI. This eliminates the need for that. Eliminating the need for separate visualization tools has greatly affected my team's workflow because it is just one integrated tool, one integrated platform. You do not have to worry about the connections to Tableau, generating the output, and if there is an issue with a live connection on Tableau, then the visualization does not show up, and that is the end of it. We would need to wait for a resolution from another team, and this eliminates the need for that.

Pros

"The best features of n8n are its low-code capabilities with everything at your disposal."
"The user-friendly interface positively impacted the team's workflow efficiency."
"With n8n, the limit is just the sky."
"Things are now fast enough, and people's productivity is generally improved because tedious and repetitive tasks are automated, allowing us to spend our energy and time on productive tasks."
"n8n is a really good automation platform where I can use it to automate my businesses and processes and also save money and time."
"Our business is growing faster because we have created workflows that help us improve our business."
"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 capability of n8n to connect different applications and automate tasks while supporting over 200 pre-built integrations is pretty effective."
"Eliminating the need for separate visualization tools has greatly affected my team's workflow because it is just one integrated tool, one integrated platform."
 

Cons

"From my experience, n8n is stable, though the part that can be less stable is that you must stay connected to many APIs."
"We haven't faced so many issues, but n8n is generally a CPU-heavy tool; sometimes, if I run so many automations on a smaller CPU, then it was going down."
"I have set up n8n on our local server, which is on a Contabo-based server, and sometimes it was losing connection."
"What I would like for them to improve is to include more nodes and different service provider integrations, just the way Zapier does."
"When connecting nodes and referring to earlier nodes, the structure that has to be followed is sometimes confusing."
"I would advise others looking into using SAS Viya Platform to go ahead if their budget allows."
