Comment summary: n8n.io is praised for its flexibility, customization, and powerful automation capabilities. Users appreciate its ability to be self-hosted, offering enhanced data security and cost-effectiveness compared to alternatives like Zapier. Despite not being user-friendly during installation, it's still favored for its wide range of integrations, open-source nature, and easily extendable setup. The platform excels in workflow creation with intuitive design, custom node support, and robust API interactions.

n8n is fantastic ! The n8n is not an alternative to Zapier. It's a much more powerful, customizable and suitable solution for demanding users who want to save time. There are a large number of integrations. Finally, the n8n is hosted locally and therefore protects your informations !

n8n has made developing and troubleshooting complex workflows very easy. I really appreciate the intuitive, approachable interface and that I can self-host it.

Compared to Shuffle:

Pros:

  • Much better performance, both in startup times and workflow execution
  • The data flow seems much more intuitive (each node takes in the previous node's input)
  • You can run the graph nodes sequentially as you build the workflow, which helps you follow the data model
  • Seems much better polished in general

It-depends:

  • Nodes (modules) are written as Node.js modules, and are not isolated via containers (presumably better performance, but worse process isolation)
  • Community-created nodes are distributed via npm, not managed centrally - caveat emptor applies, vet your modules

Cons:

  • Fewer nodes out of the box
  • Free version has limitations that you might not want to have in production (one user account, no log forwarding, etc)
  • Lacks Shuffle's automagic OpenAPI spec import

What is n8n?

Flexible AI workflow automation for technical teams.

Build with the precision of code or the speed of drag-n-drop. Host with on-prem control or in-the-cloud convenience. n8n gives you more freedom to implement multi-step AI agents and integrate apps than any other tool.

  • Build multi-step agents calling custom tools: Create agentic systems on a single screen. Integrate any LLM into your workflows as fast as you can drag-n-drop.
  • Chat with your own data: Use Slack, Teams, SMS, voice, or our embedded chat interface to get accurate answers from your data, create tasks, and complete workflows.
  • Self-host everything – including AI models: Protect your data by deploying on-prem. Deploy with Docker. Access the entire source code on GitHub. Hosted version also available.

Code when you need it, UI when you don't

Other tools limit you to either a visual building experience, or code. With n8n, you get the best of both worlds.

  • Write JavaScript or Python - you can always fall back to code
  • Add libraries from npm or Python for even more power
  • Paste cURL requests into your workflow
  • Merge workflow branches, don’t just split them

Run. Tweak. Repeat

The same short feedback loops that make you smile at your scripts.

  • Re-run single steps without re-running the whole workflow
  • Replay or mock data to avoid waiting for external systems
  • Debug fast, with logs in line with your code
  • Use 1700+ templates to jump-start your project

Secure. Reliable. Collaborative.

Remove inefficiencies across your org by rolling out automation as reliably as you deploy code. Run n8n air-gapped on your servers or on our secure cloud-based solution.
