NuGet Reviews & Product Details

What sets NuGet apart is its robust handling of complex package dependencies, simplifying version control and reducing the risk of conflicts when integrating new components. For custom packages, it allows us to maintain secure, credential-protected private repositories. Combined with our automated CI/CD pipelines, NuGet enables seamless internal package distribution.

One limitation we've encountered is its sensitivity to network stability during downloads. Even brief connectivity issues can trigger errors that are not always easy to trace or resolve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can search any libraries that we need and update was more easy then any others packages systems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It should automatically detect what version we are using and what we should install Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It turns out to be a very good acquisition for developing programs in a quite simple way and without many complications, the fact that it does not have an IDE or its own interface but that all commands are executed by console makes it a very good option for running new programs as it becomes a quite cost-effective option by not consuming many machine resources, its ease of use and learning is truly admirable and its stability and practicality are also quite positive, the fact that it has multiple integrations makes it an excellent option to enhance all its functionalities.

I have nothing to complain about regarding that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use. Either utilizing IDE tooling or as a stand alone command line tool. Integrated into the majority of developments and devops tools chains. It provides painless and seamless integrations of 3rd party libraries and tooling to your applications without much technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

End quality is dependent on the actual package developer. Sometimes circular chain dependencies can be created forcing work around inside the software. Command line tooling can take some work to get used to and the package viewer software is lacking features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the availability of packages and the ease of downloading them with the VS GUI. It's nice to have a set in stone standard too, unlike most other programming languages/platforms. It's also nice that you don't really have to see any of the behind the scenes things that happen with NuGet unless something goes wrong. When using VS, you don't ever have to know the command line commands because of the GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I have to reinstall my packages because uninstalling didn't go correctly or when I find missing dependencies. This is rare though, and is usually a result of human error.

The packages file can become a mess if trying to sort through an error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with IDE VS makes life easier

It's easier finding any new packages from the marketplace and plug it in with Nu get Manager.

Nu get command line is yet another favourite of mine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Haven't had any issues in the recent past.

Although there are times when the performance gets deteriorated which might seem a temporary glitch in accessing packages and integrating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Helps sharing .Net libraries across the teams and projects.

- Backward compatibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Sometimes failed to upload the new package using nuget CLI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After 10 years of working with .NET code, when I started using Nuget I thought, why? Why should I use an slow tool that sometimes fail when I can reference directl my dlls. The reason is automation, version managing among projects, auto-deploy of versions on cloud environments... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NuGet sometimes is super slow when updating packages and forces some kind of folder structures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really liked integration into Visual Studio and MS Builder:

* It is really easy to install and update packages with it;

* In CI it allows restoring packages on the project building process; Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that there is no installer of nuget.exe which allows to use it globally (without manually setting it in PATH).

There is also no default tool with UI for packages publishing automatization; I had to write my own tool and share it with colleges to increase the speed of building and publishing NuGet packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Handy when there’s not time to write your own class libraries.

Documentation is straightforward.

Package installation is seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Devs who rely on it too much treat a lot of solutions like “black boxes”.

There are times where you’ll be forced to write your own implementations even though you’re chasing deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
