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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"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."
"Zend Engine gives the flexibility to use external modules to easily expand the functionalities you need for your web project."
"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's initial setup process is easy."
"This solution is really easy for me to use."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."
"The solution could improve its user interface."
"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer."
"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."
"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."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"The biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"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."
