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."
"This solution is really easy for me to use."
"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"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."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"Zend Engine gives the flexibility to use external modules to easily expand the functionalities you need for your web project."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"The solution could improve its user interface."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"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."
"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."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"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 biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."
