The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature

The fact that it is available open-source is the best feature. A general scripting language should be further developed and should be embedded into it. I have been Zend PHP Engine for nine years. Multiple people are using the solution. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Stable and easy to handle in terms of hosting applications."

"The most valuable aspect of JBoss EAP is its support for clustering and load balancing, which is essential for our applications that serve multiple users simultaneously."

"Its technical support is excellent."

"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and performance."

"It's convenient and barebone."

"The solution is quite stable."

"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 solution's initial setup process is easy."

"Faster web app implementation, when PHP dev is required by customers."

"The Zend Framework provides an easy, open source way to produce coding based on the needs of our customers."

"Zend Engine gives the flexibility to use external modules to easily expand the functionalities you need for your web project."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the speed at which it compiles and sends the dynamic cache."

"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."

"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."

Cons

"Improvement is needed in the synchronization between cluster nodes, especially under network strain."

"Lacks some functional requirements."

"Its architecture needs improvement."

"It's hard to find out the root cause of errors."

"This solution needs better management UI."

"A graphic user interface can be added."

"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."

"The process of installing and configuring the product is a bit complex and could be improved."

"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."

"SQL queries have always been an issue with PHP, especially if you use large tables, which require caution from the side of the developer."

"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."

"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 biggest problem with PHP is you have to write lot of conditions or have to use a framework."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While I am not directly involved with the financial aspects, JBoss is known for its reasonable subscription pricing. Potential users should consider whether the cost aligns with their budget and requirements."

"It is an open-source solution."

"The solution is cost-effective."

"The solution is open source and you just pay for the server cost."

"Zend PHP Engine is not an expensive solution."

"No problem with pricing and licensing, as tools are open source. You have to consider training cost, mindset setup cost, as part of the TCO."

"Its pricing depends on the number of users."

"The Zend PHP engine is open source technology, so there's no need for us to worry about licensing or other costs."

Overview

Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) is an open source platform for modern Java applications deployed in any environment. JBoss EAPâs architecture is modular, and cloud ready. The platform offers powerful management and automation for greater developer productivity. It is based on the open source Wildfly project (formerly known as JBoss Application Server).

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.
