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 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."
"This solution is really easy for me to use."
"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."
"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 fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"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 solution could improve its user interface."
"Zend PHP Engine needs to improve the loading time of its libraries and make it faster."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"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."
"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer."
"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."
"The solution can be quicker."
