Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."There are many features of the solution that are quite useful. For us, the most valuable aspect may be visibility."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"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."
"Zend Engine gives the flexibility to use external modules to easily expand the functionalities you need for your web project."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"The solution could improve its user interface."
"The solution can be quicker."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"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."
"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 process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"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."
"The biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."
"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."
