Node.js Reviews & Product Details

I have used node js code for chatbot development in Google Dialogflow in the Dialogflow fulfillment section for integrating it into the UI. The best part is while developing the chatbot we can easily integrate UI and add new functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used Node JS in Google Dialogflow for multiple chatbot use cases. I did not face any issues while working with Node JS in the past. So no dislikes from my end! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Node.js is a Robust & easy to learn open-source runtime environment; it is mainly used to use javascript as a server-side scripting language & also, with the help of node.js, we can make powerful cross-platform applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used node.js lots of time, and on behalf of that, I experienced only one problem with node.js, i.e. there are not such rich libraries are available in node. Also, the existing libraries are very poor and incomplete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the improved developer efficiency and overall productivity and also the reuse and sharing of code. The large number of free tools is what excites us, it also has a good speed and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even now the biggest drawback of Node.js is its inability to handle CPU intensive activities. There are many tools in the npm registry which are of poor quality and have not been properly described or tested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about node is It is async like in other frameworks like python framework you need to use threading sometimes and this is very light weight also among all JS frameworks it has huge libraries support and really easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only dislike thing about this is when you compare to python, we need to code more otherwise overall, it is best among JS framework Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versatile, easy to train existing frontend developers, broad library ecosystem, dynamically typed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Standard library is very scant, very easy to end up with dependency hell. No built-in integration with typing frameworks like TypeScript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to code and deploy, alongside being multithreaded and hence easier to scale and manage. The deployment process is fairly easy and tools for easy deployments are readily available even in GitHub actions or AWS Lambda or even in Kubernetes or docker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requires more logic code compared to python or other such programming languages. Core concept understanding is required for optimizations. Availability of external modules not as abundant as python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of node js is It is straightforward to understand, and you can start you work after ready serval document. Another best part is you can create both back-end and front-end also some more functionality like asyn, middleware, streaming become this best framework. If you are working with JS, then you have to write significantly less code and compare to other JS frameworks and with node JS you will get large support of third party libraries so you don't need to write every function from scratch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing for dislike, but if node js provide some ORM like Django, then It can beat python frameworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having familiarity with javascript allows you to implement both frontend and backend with same coding standards and practices, thanks to NodeJS.

Also, huge number of free NPM packages and amazing community support makes any task easy to implement using Node. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't use NodeJS to implement production-grade machine learning applications. AI/ML libraries of JS are improving day by day, but still it's nowhere near python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Node.js lets you build any sorte of server-side artifact in JavaScript, making ir very natural for front-end developers to become full-stack professionals. A myriad of packages and an efficient packages manager (npm) simplifies the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Your code is likely to be strongly tied to node and its packages, so it is likely that it will not be useful anywhere else.

More friendly IDE support would be a huge improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Node.JS allows me to write software in a far more straightforward and efficient way when compared to other technologies like .NET. I've been programming with .NET / C# for many years and I'm at a point where I found it very boring and stagnant (even with .Net Core in the mix). It is so unnecessarily complex to implement a system in .NET / C#, whereas in Node.JS I can achieve the same thing in a much simpler way with much less code. Discovering Node.JS has really given me back my passion for software development; it is truly a pleasure to work with, and it is undoubtedly my preferred tool for development.

I find it hard to keep up with everything happening in the Node.JS ecosystem as things move really fast and trends come and go. I think it is essential to think cautiously about adopting a new trend and only do it if you believe it will actually add value. Othen than that, NPM can be a pain at times, I have run into issues over the years especially around native C code compilation in Node.JS modules through NPM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
