Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, F5, Apache and others in Application Infrastructure."The most valuable aspect of the solution is the central console, that allows you to see all of the activated and deactivated computers."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."
"This solution is really easy for me to use."
"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."
"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."
"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."
"Zend Engine is the core of PHP. It makes PHP fast, efficient, and basically, the language of choice for web applications."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."
"A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it."
"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."
"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 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 solution can be quicker."
"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."
