"Fasters Implementation And Real-Time Feature Is Good But Sql Support Isn't That Good"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Meteor?

I am working on meteor JS for last two years and my experience with meteor java script framework is very good.

we used meteor.js for developing our mobile(android and IOS applications) and web application one of the main advantages we got from this framework is we have to use only one language for front-end, back-end and for database,

Which coupled with MongoDB database which stores JSON Objects, and uses java script as a query language meteor.js is very fast due to its real - time feature, which propagate data changes to client without requiring the developer to write any synchronization code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meteor?

There are very few disadvantages of meteor.js, some of we are faced are following

first one is you have to use mongoDB as database query language also there is lack of sql support in meteor.js

and also In meteor there is lack of testing frameworks which turns out to be one of main disadvantages of meteor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meteor:

if you are planning for multi platform application and want to save development time and cost then

i would suggest go for meteor.js

another advantage for the organization is you only have to hire meteors.js resources as front and backed and database queries are written in JavaScript language with meteor framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meteor solving and how is that benefiting you?

We developed web application for our organization in meteor and written back-end scripts for the android and IOS mobile application .

and for all of this we used single java script framework i.e Meteor.js which is very big advantage for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great in it's day. Community seems to have moved on"

3/5

What do you like best about Meteor?

Mini mongo (client-side mongo) is pretty cool, as is pub-sub for some applications. Doesn't scale well in other scenarios though.

It's a full client-side and server side framework that covers authentication, DB management, client-side UI, etc. I've enjoyed working with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meteor?

Pub/sub doesn't scale well when there are many DB updates in a short period. The developer abandoned nice performance monitoring system (Kadira). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power of Meteor JS framework"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Meteor?

MEAN Stack there is a necessity to perform synchronization between Express.js and Angular.js. also in the Node.js and MongoDB. But, Meteor JS delivers an absolute solution for producing and deploying web apps. Meteor you can develop apps in JavaScript for a web browser, application server, and mobile environment. Meteor has several built-in features like hot code reload, automatic CSS & JS minification, and reactive templates. The app is created using JavaScript so you can use the same code on both client and server-side. Meteor JS allows us to develop and deploy Android and iOS apps through the Cordova PhoneGap alliance.

What do you dislike about Meteor?

Especially the asset management that allows using a glob pattern and NPM dependency management syntax matching that which is used by package.json. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Meteor review"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Meteor?

Meteor publication/subscriptions are very easy to work with, allowing easy use of data manipulation, which is one of the advantages of using a full stack framework like Meteor that covers both backend and frontend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Meteor?

The Meteor "Atmosphere" ecosystem is lacking, and lacks the robustness of library ecosystems for React, and even Angular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Meteor:

I would recommend migrating your workflow to more modern frameworks, specifically React, and not Angular. Or, if you feel like being different, go for Svelte, or Vue. Meteor is quite outdated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Meteor solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's been a while since I used it but I was building software for analyzing large datasets involving a single patient's orthodontic records, for rendering and display in report form. The Spacebars templating system is quite intuitive, but this is true for most modern templating systems including React's JSX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
