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."The solution is easy to use."
"The .NET Framework simplified operations dealing with the allocation and deallocation of memory spaces and the additional processing resources."
"The tool offers a lot of support, and there is a lot of knowledge material available, along with a lot of community groups."
"The most valuable feature is customization."
"The most valuable feature is the financial accounting."
"A great solution for creating program solutions in a framework for Microsoft Windows quickly and easily."
"It is a stable solution."
"I'd rate the solution as highly stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"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."
"Offers a complete environment to develop PHP applications. It is valuable because it allows you to have a complete stack (PHP, MySQL, Zend Server) enabling the building of a development environment, and to deploy to the production system."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."
"It offers good support for various types of classes, along with many open source libraries that we can readily utilize in our application development process. This gives us a lot of options when it comes to custom development solutions, without having to worry about licensing or other programming-related issues."
"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"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."
"If AI could be incorporated in Microsoft .NET Framework it would be helpful."
"The integration with DevOps tools, such as Azure DevOps, Jira, and GitLab, would be a valuable addition."
"Better integration with other tools to make the operation faster would be an improvement."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the memory for better performance."
".NET Is still heavy or dependant on other Microsoft libraries and frameworks."
"The solution is difficult to learn if someone is learning it for the first time."
"They should try to improve their Blazor WebAssembly."
"Zend PHP Engine needs to improve the loading time of its libraries and make it faster."
"The solution can be quicker."
"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer."
"The main area that Zend needs to improve is to support asynchronous programming tasks, which is facilitated in PHP 7, but not at the same degree as HHVM."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"Although it offers a complete environment to develop and deploy PHP applications, it has some limitations. For example, when the volume of data increased exponentially, I had problems scaling the system."
"The biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."
Microsoft .NET Framework is ranked 4th in Application Infrastructure with 47 reviews while Zend PHP Engine is ranked 12th in Application Infrastructure with 10 reviews.
