"The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature.""The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers.​""The solution's initial setup process is easy.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache.""This solution is really easy for me to use.""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.""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 Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."

Cons
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."

More Windows Process Activation Services Cons →

"The biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework.""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 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.​​""Its object oriented programming language needs improvement.""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.""A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."

    Overview
    Windows Process Activation Service generalizes the Internet Information Services (IIS) process model, removing the dependency on HTTP. All the features of IIS that were previously available only to HTTP applications are now available to applications hosting Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services, by using non-HTTP protocols. IIS 7.0 also uses Windows Process Activation Service for message-based activation over HTTP.

    The Zend PHP Engine is designed to optimize PHP code and improve performance, making it a popular choice for web developers. It is easy to use, stable, does not require a lot of code, is open source, and only requires payment for server costs. The initial setup is straightforward, and there is no real need to set up the solution because it's built into the deployment.
