npm Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior QA Automation Engineer at LogMeIn, Inc.5.0I have 10 years of GitHub experience, with Actions and Copilot. I also used BrowserStack for 4 years, highly valuing its features and support. I extensively use npm for automation, having automated 1000+ UI/API test cases.
Senior Engineer at Innominds4.5I use NPM to trigger APMs, finding it stable and scalable for thousands of users. My main suggestion is to improve package manager integration, like with Visual Studio, for easier updates. Overall, I rate it 9/10.
Senior Technical Consultant at FinXL IT Professional Services4.5I find npm excellent for microservices, valuing its scalability, ease of setup, and ability to reduce development time significantly. My main concern is the security vulnerabilities sometimes found in its open-source libraries.
Software Development Engineer in Test at a tech services company with 1-10 employees4.5I find NPM user-friendly, stable, and scalable for branch and pull request management, with excellent build features. I would like better visibility into compatible versions and architectural flow. Initial setup can be complex, but I rate it 9/10.
C++ Developer at High Crew4.5We use npm for orchestration and dashboard management, finding its dependency installation valuable. However, it lacks compatibility with various programming languages, including C++ for backend development. Despite this, npm is easier to use than directly managing dependencies.
Senior DevOps Engineer at TPL4.0I use this free, scalable solution for building and deploying applications; it's stable with a straightforward setup. However, I find the libraries need updating, as there are often missing or version issues.
