Meteor Reviews & Product Details

One of the best parts of Meteor is its modernity. On the tech side, it's using Node with Blaze for templating and Mongo for the database. But the best part is the packages! There are a LOT of packages for Meteor, from routing to editors, well, everything. You can also use NPM packages, which is nice. Even better, with Meteor 1.3, they will work out of the box.

A lot of people like the hot reload, and it's nice if the project is small or if you have a Mac (it's fast on OSX, don't know why). But on Linux, it can sometimes be really slow. Another problem is the poor support for Windows, and finally, the fact that the framework is young means you can sometimes have strange bugs. Also, as a sysadmin, it's really easy to deploy Meteor with Meteor Up! For me, the product will get better with enough time, and with the addition of new components like React, for example, it's really ahead of its time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's extremely easy to get started with Meteor, and required configuration is kept to a minimum. Everything you need is either built-in or easily installable with a simply command. You're free to organize your project however you like, as Meteor gathers together all code into a single bundle. There is a large amount of help available in the community.

The framework tends to be a bit monolithic, since it combines all code together. It's a relatively closed ecosystem (although the situation is improving with NPM support). Large applications can run slowly and get unwieldy to develop due to long build times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The out-of-the-box reactivity make it the best framework to be used for application. Other tools might take so much to get this reactivity as a standard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
