We performed a comparison between JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and Zend PHP Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Infrastructure solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its technical support is excellent."
"Stable and easy to handle in terms of hosting applications."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and performance."
"The solution is quite stable."
"It's convenient and barebone."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."
"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."
"This solution needs better management UI."
"Its architecture needs improvement."
"It's hard to find out the root cause of errors."
"A graphic user interface can be added."
"Lacks some functional requirements."
"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."
"Zend PHP Engine needs to improve the loading time of its libraries and make it faster."
"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 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."
"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."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer."
