We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework and Zend PHP Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."User-friendly and straightforward."
"It facilitated the streamlined scheduling process by amalgamating inputs from various sources, including location data and other systems."
"I like that ASP.NET is used for the framework and the core web services."
"The most valuable features are the Domain Controller and the WBFS Manager."
"The most valuable feature is the financial accounting."
"The solution is easy to use if the user is a developer or some technical person."
"In my opinion, the best thing about Microsoft .NET is the fully featured framework. It provides most of the things which a normal developer requires of any application out of the box."
"A great solution for creating program solutions in a framework for Microsoft Windows quickly and easily."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"We have not encountered issues with scalability as long as we effectively use caching to optimize performance of our web applications as well as a proper use of database connectivity."
"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"The cache modules that Zend provides have been able to optimize and accelerate the loading of the pages when there was exponential growth in data volume and quantity of requests. At the same time, the monitoring console allowed us to have a real-time understanding of the resources and to make decisions when they were at the limit."
"The solution is difficult to learn if someone is learning it for the first time."
"The runtime environment for ASP.NET needs improvement to make it more universal."
"Lacking in auto-scaling."
"In the next release, I am looking for more advanced technologies such as socket communication and enhanced features like realtime chat with the clients."
"In my opinion, this solution can be improved by providing out-of-the-box support for different types of libraries."
"Microsoft could improve .NET Framework by providing more resources to help users understand the solution."
"It is of great concern to us that the solution is not very powerful on cross platform, at it impedes the ability to build and scale with it."
"The product could have a better framework for application development."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"The solution can be quicker."
"Integration of MVC with ORM tools for PHP is okay, but lacking a short list of decent ORM tools for PHP to choose from; there is ample room for improvement in both areas."
"Zend PHP Engine needs to improve the loading time of its libraries and make it faster."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, it doesn't support concurrent processing. When we want to process anything on a concurrent basis, we have to divide it into a number of things, like a queue, or we have to run it using Cron jobs. We would like to have the capability to run any thread or process in parallel."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer."
