We performed a comparison between Oracle Hotspot and Zend PHP Engine based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The product is quite user-friendly."
"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 Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"Zend Engine gives the flexibility to use external modules to easily expand the functionalities you need for your web project."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"There are some bugs in the solution that lead to breakdowns."
"The biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."
"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."
"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."
"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 solution can be quicker."
"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."
"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."
