n8n is stable, though the part that can be less stable is that you must stay connected to many APIs.

Room For Improvement

SnapLogic needs improved integrations, processing, transparency, support, AI, and performance for better user experience and large data handling.
Documentation is really good.

Business automation Expert at INSTRUTECH LIMITED
I would appreciate having more AI integrated into n8n, specifically an AI agent to help me better understand how to build workflows and assist when I encounter errors.
AI and Automation Engineer at PeerSpot
If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy to learn for new users, it would be greatly beneficial.
Senior Data Analyst at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
They can improve more visuals, with graphical representations, such as how many things can be added, how many users can be added or dropped, and how the back-end nodes can be graphically shown in a better way.

Setup Cost

Enterprise users appreciate n8n's scalable pricing, low infrastructure costs, and free open source version with unlimited runs.
SnapLogic's pricing, though moderate to high, offers scalability and value for complex integrations with its flexible, usage-based licensing.
The open source version is free.
Business automation Expert at INSTRUTECH LIMITED
I feel that the price is right as I'm using the standard version, which allows for about one thousand five hundred executions per month, which is sufficient for me and my organization.
AI and Automation Engineer at PeerSpot
For cloud environments, I noticed that depending on the number of nodes used and the number of executions, the basic plan might not be enough.
ERP recommendation specialist at a non-tech company with 1-10 employees
I would say the pricing is on the higher side, but it aligns with the capabilities offered for mid- to large integrations.
Global Head - DevOps and AIOps Startegist at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower.
Head of Data Practice at a tech consulting company with 201-500 employees
SnapLogic is positioned at around seven or eight out of ten in terms of pricing.

The drag-and-drop builder and pre-built snaps have helped our team through a very low-code approach, making it easier for us to develop fast pipelines and be more agile compared to the heavier integration platforms we used before.

Featured Reviews

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.

Has automated manual tasks and simplified integration with pre-built connectors while supporting AI use cases
The tool is very user-friendly and not complex to understand. The structure of the platform is easy to understand, and we can build multiple systems with low-code, no-code, so it doesn't require much coding language. Now it is moving more into APIs, so we can create APIs to transfer data, which we can manage. It's moving into AI, so we can create AI agents with LLM models. We can use most of the LLM such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Azure AI. With those Snaps, we can integrate and move more into the AI world. SnapLogic is hosted on Groundplex and AWS cloud. It has pre-built connectors, which we call Snaps. That is very helpful to connect with multiple systems. We have a dashboard monitor that is very graphical. We can measure exact times in seconds and how much time it took to complete the process. With that help, it's really helpful to see how much memory consumption is utilized. The monitor structure has very good features for SnapLogic. SnapLogic is an integration tool which we use to integrate multiple systems such as source system, target system, cloud systems, and Groundplex systems. It is an iPaaS tool and a very strong tool. Now it is moving more into APIs and AI/ML tools; it is improving their knowledge. It is helpful for creating SnapLogic agents. In this way, SnapLogic is expanding their work.
