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."
"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."
"This solution is really easy for me to use."
"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"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."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"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."
"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."
"Zend PHP Engine needs to improve the loading time of its libraries and make it faster."
"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."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"The solution can be quicker."
