Langflow by DataStax is hands down the best for multi-agent systems.
Reviewed on Mar 28, 2025
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
As a dev who wants to get things done while staying flexible, this is a dream come true. You get all the drag-and-drop components for speed and simplicity - but you’re not locked in. You can create your own components and tweak almost anything to fit your needs.
This means you can build complex components while still working with intuitive, easy-to-grasp flows. Custom code can quickly become a tangled mess, and no-code builders can feel too restrictive. Langflow strikes the perfect balance.
Plus, it’s open-source, with a thriving community that’s making it better every day!
You’ve just got to try it. I keep going to langflow.new whenever I want to test something real quick since there’s no login, and you can jump right in. 😄

What do you dislike about the product?
I only see two downsides.
First, it has fewer integrations compared to other no-code tools like Make.com or n8n. That said, the crucial ones like Google Drive ,Gmail, etc. are already there. Plus, it’s more optimized for agentic systems, where it actually has the most integrations of any platform (vector DBs, model providers, etc.), so it makes sense.
Second, startup time and initial runs can be a bit slow. Given how much functionality it packs, that’s understandable. But I’ve already seen huge improvements in this area, so I’m pretty confident it’ll keep getting better over time.
