npm is the best package manager so far. It has a ton of open-source packages to use in any type of node project. It provides almost every package that one might need. The integration is also smooth we just have to write one command and it installs the package very smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't particularly dislike npm but when the error occurs during package installation the errors are not properly defined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

npm is so popular that it offers possible, and easy to use, solutions for many web development projects, even more so due to the large package repository full of open source projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

npm's module system is still not perfect after so many years, problems with incompatible peer dependencies, project node_modules folder consuming too much memory (trying to use pnpm as an alternative) and potential security risks due to hidden sub-dependencies, not solved by the outdated mechanism as that risks to break stability of installed solutions.

NPM provides the best easy management of packages in projects, I think with v6 security is really improved a lot! npm CLI is also great and commands are easy to remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing specific to dislike but as compared to yarn performance and installation speed seems a little slow also npm outdated command took a lot of time to execute other than that everything is great ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we install a package the dependencies are by default taken care of. The number of packages available with npm is by far the greatest in terms of numbers and quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the versioning issues are there which are not self rectified and not that easy to solve. This is the main issue I faced while using npm, everything else is good only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is open source software thus adopted by many IDE & programming language for package management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The hierarchy of dependency installed by packages is sometimes conflicting & even not necessary in many cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For any CLI user developing the front-end, the main task is to install all the necessary tools. Npm makes the installations just a command away, increasing a programmer's efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to many tools which offer good jar and tgz files for direct download of the installations, npm takes time to install all the modules, and the system needs to restart to reflect those changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
