"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"Zend Engine gives the flexibility to use external modules to easily expand the functionalities you need for your web project."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"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 could improve its user interface."
"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."
"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."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
