n8n.io

My favorite workflow automation and integration tool

Opmerkingen: I'm using n8n for almost a year and it became my absolute favorite workflow automation and integration tool. It allows me to rapidly build workflows via no-code nodes, however, I'm also able to provide JavaScript snippets and customize the tool, i.e. install additional services in the Docker container

Pluspunten:

As a programmer I like that n8n gives an opportunity to host the tool on my VPS, extend it and write custom JS code.

Minpunten:

Even thought there are hundreds of integrations already, n8n still has significantly less integrations compared to some other commercial tools. This can be partially resolved with the HTTP request node.

n8n.io is the fastest and easiest way to integrate your favorite services

Pluspunten:

This is not your average API aggregation and management service, this is the real deal.

And it doesn't stop there! With n8n's fair-code license, you can self host unlimited zaps with no limitations on how many developers are on your team or what size of organization you're working for

Minpunten:

Can't really think of any besides that it focused on javascript, which python would be introduced as time rolls on.

Good open source workflow automation engine

Pluspunten:

N8n is an open workflow automation tool. It has a large number of integrations with popular software systems (which it calls nodes). There are workflow which are templated automation steps that can be shared publicly. The community is moderately large and they are fairly responsive.

Minpunten:

Original n8n was open source but they changed the licensing to be extremely restrictive. So it's not really useable to base a project on top of. It does require some technical no-how, I wouldn't really term it as low-code. While there are lots of integrations, mostly only implement a few API calls and are incomplete.

n8n - THE BEST

Pluspunten:

- you can host it yourself - has most of zapier's features - really affordable and might be 1000th of Zapier's cost if you're ready to give away some features, UX and if your task aren't mission critical

Minpunten:

- HTTPS support (Could be partnership, integration or some sort of support)[I spent too much time to have that functionality as a newbie and was really frustrated but yes, it's possible] - Sometimes Buggy when you least expect it - Somewhat AVG UX experience

Best automation tool

Opmerkingen: I love that I discover n8n, and I use it every day for automation.

Pluspunten:

This is super easy tool to use, no require much knowledge to start to make simple automation. Also, community forum is super helpful and people there are always ready to help <3

Minpunten:

The n8n is great, and I think that the most tricky part is installation, but this one is more about server knowledge than n8n's disadvantage. Also are other possibilities to run n8n
