We performed a comparison between Microsoft .NET Framework 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."The .NET Framework simplified operations dealing with the allocation and deallocation of memory spaces and the additional processing resources."
"As we are a software company, we find that accessing resources using this technology is easier compared to the others."
"A great solution for creating program solutions in a framework for Microsoft Windows quickly and easily."
"The Windows Communication Foundation is the biggest advantage we get from the .NET Framework."
"Ease of use, the richness of the libraries and basically very good development tools."
"Microsoft .NET Framework continually innovates, particularly in Visual Studio, which focuses on improving languages, debugging, and .NET functionality."
"The .NET framework is a mature platform that is very helpful and saves time during the software development process."
"Proven solution with valuable customization."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"This solution is really easy for me to use."
"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."
"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 Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"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."
"Microsoft could improve .NET Framework by providing more resources to help users understand the solution."
"I would like more web integration."
"It would be nice if the framework were able to work with additional environments and systems like Linux."
"The integration could improve in Microsoft .NET Framework."
"The .NET open source community could be larger."
"If AI could be incorporated in Microsoft .NET Framework it would be helpful."
"Lacking in auto-scaling."
".NET Is still heavy or dependant on other Microsoft libraries and frameworks."
"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."
"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."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"The solution can be quicker."
"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."
"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."
Microsoft .NET Framework is ranked 4th in Application Infrastructure with 44 reviews while Zend PHP Engine is ranked 15th in Application Infrastructure with 10 reviews.
