Node.js Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about Node is it is async. Unlike other frameworks like Python, where you sometimes need to use threading, Node is very lightweight. Among all JS frameworks, it has huge library support and is really easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only dislike about this is when you compare it to Python, we need to code more. Otherwise, overall, it is the best among JS frameworks. 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 that it is straightforward to understand, and you can start your work after reading several documents. Another great aspect is that you can create both back-end and front-end functionalities, such as async, middleware, and streaming, making it the best framework. If you are working with JS, you will write significantly less code compared to other JS frameworks, and with Node.js, you will have extensive support from third-party libraries, so you don't need to write every function from scratch.

I have nothing to dislike, but if Node.js provided some ORM like Django, then it could surpass 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 sort of server-side artifact in JavaScript, making it very natural for front-end developers to become full-stack professionals. A myriad of packages and an efficient package 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.

Node.js is a modern, compact, and easy development framework/language that would fit most modern-day applications. Based on Javascript, node.js provides a cross-platform runtime that is fast, easy to set up, and simple to maintain. Combined with the npm package manager, it proves to be a convenient way to develop web, mobile, and server-side applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main issue I find with node.js is that it is a single-threaded single-process solution, which requires a detailed setup in order to run large-scale, high-traffic server applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is supported across many cloud-hosting platforms like Google Cloud Platform, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Joyent and lot more. It is also supported on Linux, macOS, Microsoft Windows 8.1 etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about Node.js Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NodeJS's event-based framework works very well in our use case. We are using it via NestJS and Express framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Error reporting and stack trace reporting is quite weak in nodejs. It should be improved when compared to well known server-side frameworks such as .net and Java. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
