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 Regarding needed improvements, I believe much of the existing documentation is not peer-reviewed.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

The product is free, and the initial setup is easy, but it is missing some features, and it is not stable
The product is missing some features. Some features are not implemented the way we expect them to be. The tool doesn’t have the same quality as other commercial vendors like Cisco. There were some problems with IPsec. For a long time, the tool did not support VTI tunnels. I also faced some problems with some specific networking solutions. I couldn’t set the source IP. I would like to have a hardware solution in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"One positive impact that n8n has had on my customers' organizations is significantly less hassle over SEO or reaching out to clients and scheduling meetings."
"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."
"The best features of n8n are its low-code capabilities with everything at your disposal."
"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 user-friendly interface positively impacted the team's workflow efficiency."
"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."
"It is an open-source product."
 

Cons

"n8n has a bit of a learning curve to it; you have to learn a lot."
"What I would like for them to improve is to include more nodes and different service provider integrations, just the way Zapier does."
"The setup of n8n is sometimes very complicated, especially with the HTTP node, which is complex to set up."
"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."
"From my experience, n8n is stable, though the part that can be less stable is that you must stay connected to many APIs."
"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."
"In my experience, n8n is not very stable, but it has the potential to be more stable."
"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."
"The product is missing some features."
