100% recommend. Great for Self-Hosting, but Typescript Limits Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Self-hosting does not incur any direct fees, though you will still need to cover the expenses associated with operating your own hardware.
You can effectively write your own workflow with less than an hour of learning from zero.
If you decide to go with the cloud option, getting started takes less than ten minutes.
n8n has top of the line support, you WILL get your question answered in a reasonable amount of time. On top of that, you can ask the n8n doc AI for help, it will have you covered 90% of the time.
I use n8n for 90% of my AI automation.

What do you dislike about the product?
My only qualm is that it's written in Typescript.
n8n could run so much faster if it were written in C++.
You won't really notice the difference unless you have a background in Operating Systems development.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use n8n for creating AI automation system for clients for my business and also to streamline my workflow in general.
It's a really great automation tool
What do you like best about the product?
The level of functionality it provides. There is a learning curve, but after you are done with it. You can almost automate any backend work
What do you dislike about the product?
The cloud service doesn't let custom nodes in. That's such a bummer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps with most of the automation someone can think of
Must have tool for Web Developers
What do you like best about the product?
Integration was quick and straightforward, and I found it relatively easy to learn. It fits seamlessly into my toolchain.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface for authentication integration could be improved, and it would be helpful to have greater control and more detailed insights into the security settings, including compliance with regulations like DSGVO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is less need to write code, and the platform offers flexibility when it comes to integrations and automations. Fast prototyping is possible with just a few clicks, thanks to a WYSIWYG editor.
n8n is incredible. I wish I had more programming experience.
What do you like best about the product?
My Disclaimer up front - I am not an IT professional this is not something I do for work, I am purely a hobbyist trying to have some fun and hopefully make my life a bit easier.
What do I like most about n8n? Honestly it's what the product is itself. It's a workflow tool. I've not even delved into the deep end yet and I've already been able to setup an assistant that I can message in discord, it sends it over to an AI (can be local or cloud hosted), It'll run the tools I've provided it, and provide me feedback in a very easily readable format. (Heck you can even toss a TTS on there to include in the output for when you're not actively reading.)
I feel like for anyone who actually knows what they're doing this can be an extremely powerful tool - especially if you have work flow diagrams that already exist.

What do you dislike about the product?
The downside? I would say that in order to get the most out of n8n you need some level of programming experience. It doesn't have to be much, but when you're trying to build more complex workflows, trying to split out tasks or fields it helps to know a bit of JSON and personally I don't. Am I getting through it? Yes, but it's taking a bit more extra effort on my behalf, I think for some other's they'd have this down no issue.
Also I think it'd be neat if there was a way to build in say a container and a python running inside the system that way I don't have to build one outside myself and toss a post at it to interact. For one of my projects I essentially had to build an outside listener that could pass information because I didn't see one available built in. Perhaps an active listener already exists, but if it does I didn't see and if I did I probably still wouldn't know how to use it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What problems is n8n solving for me, and how is it benefiting me? That's a great question. Lets preface my answer with I'm not a business, I'm simply an individual trying to add improvements to my day. I have a personal server (little hobby server) that I've been trying to slowly move my stuff out of the cloud on to, whether that's been my photo libraries, or documents, and running a few experiments like an auto-translation tool for monitoring/moderating chat clients. Although I haven't gotten my n8n there yet, I fully intend to, what has it solved for me today? Being an individual with limited but lets say power user level of experience, I've already been able to setup an AI assistant in there that has been able to help troubleshoot issues for me. An example would be when I asked it, "hey my CPU and RAM usage is out of control, I don't know what's going wrong" having given it access to a CLI it was able to check my system services and informed me that my ffmpeg was maxing out. It also gave me a platform that I could further ask questions to diagnose the problem. I have yet to give it more elevated permissions so that it could read and manage my docker containers, but there's definitely potential there. And if you go about this route n8n has thought about that as well, you can add human in the loop so if it want's to perform a task it must ask and wait for approval. I have no doubt that you can get a lot more use out of this then I will ever figure out on my own. Maybe my next steps will be including this in my home monitor suite for Intrusion Detection and Prevention.
Easy to use and adaptable for a wide range of tasks. Flexible and versatile.

what have I doine
What do you like best about the product?
It does stuff in the background, and I have no idea what all means. I would someday like to know
What do you dislike about the product?
The description isn't very expressive, which actually matches how it feels to work with this tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
nothing to note at this time
Easy to learn
What do you like best about the product?
It just took a couple of weeks to start automating tasks. This is the first time I experienced what AI can do to business. It's an amazing product.
What do you dislike about the product?
N8N's hosted solution is somewhat pricey and has certain restrictions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated AI chatbot, web post, and automated logs review.
One word "Amazing"
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most are the AI tools. The flow model unlocks countless possibilities for automating tasks—just let your imagination guide you. It makes AI accessible even to those with limited coding knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working with image generation models, I find it frustrating that after the AI model generates the binary data, testing the rest of the workflow requires the model to re-run from the beginning rather than continuing from where it left off. This makes the testing phase less efficient. Additionally, the way binary data moves through the workflow is quite challenging to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is making AI accessible to someone like me, who has only limited coding knowledge—something I never thought would be possible.
Awesome automation, great workflow builder with multiple tutorials and scenarios
What do you like best about the product?
Over time, I found myself managing a mix of tools, scripts, and APIs just to connect everything—CRM, email, Google Sheets, and internal databases. With n8n, I’ve been able to bring all of these together into visual workflows. I use it to automate lead routing, email sequences, data synchronization, and reporting, all without needing to trigger anything manually. This has helped reduce repetitive tasks, minimize errors, and allowed me to focus on more valuable work instead of constantly writing glue code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is the cost, especially when you're using a large number of APIs and scaling up your workflows—it can become expensive rather quickly. Additionally, although the user interface is straightforward for basic automations, creating more advanced workflows tends to be more challenging and often involves a steeper learning curve.

it used to take hours for me to find viral youtube, instagram and tiktok videos, now it takes secs
What do you like best about the product?
They really took the world by storm, easily outpacing the established players. N8n has been a lifesaver for me, offering an incredible amount of automation with over 5,000 templates already available. I appreciate how simple it is to connect my APIs or webhooks and have my automation ready to run. I love being able to start with a drag-and-drop interface and then switch to code when things get more complex. Sub-workflows help keep my builds organized, and the option to self-host gives me full control. When it’s time to scale, queue mode is ready to handle the load. Honestly, it’s rare to find a tool that manages to be both so simple and so powerful at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
There’s a bit of a learning curve in optimizing the automations and workflows to avoid unnecessary executions. if not done properly, the costs can add up very quickly. Would recommend to watch their tutorials in their fourm or on youtube before setting up automations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Honestly, I find that it takes away the hassle of manually integrating apps and handling repetitive tasks by allowing me to create automated workflows using a straightforward drag-and-drop builder. This has really helped me save hours that I used to spend on tedious activities, like searching through YouTube or Instagram for viral videos—now n8n handles that for me every week automatically. It gathers fresh topics from RSS feeds and Telegram, uses AI tools like Perplexity for research, and even generates posts for LinkedIn or Instagram, which saves me about 10 to 15 hours each week. When it comes to UGC videos, n8n can take a single product image, generate 20 to 50 AI variations with Nano Banana, create clips using Veo 3, and store everything in Box for e-commerce ads. It also automates the creation of Shorts and Reels by using video templates, adding AI-generated captions, exporting, and scheduling posts to YouTube or Instagram, so I don’t have to do any manual editing. For research content, it collects bookmarks or feeds, filters them with AI, and produces outlines or drafts that I can easily repurpose into daily threads or blog posts.
