Call routing streamlines communication across multiple locations
In my opinion, some of the most valuable features with this product are that it is very extensible. You can configure a lot of it because it is open source, so you can work around the configurations you desire. It is a very flexible application, so you can personalize configuration for customers. Another valuable aspect is the modules that you can add. Its modularity helps as you can purchase modules through the Sangoma portal. You can purchase modules for endpoint manager, call center, and call center queue wallboard. With this module, you can supervise and get analytics on all of your call center queues that you are running currently. It is a very extensible solution.

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 Regarding needed improvements, I believe much of the existing documentation is not peer-reviewed.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.
