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

"The most valuable feature of WebLogic is it has excellent performance and stability compared to the previous solution we used."

"A valuable feature is its integration with Oracle Database."

"The most valuable feature is that it provides one place where you can control all of the services."

"The program is scalable."

"It integrates well with other solutions."

"Robust solution; console and enterprise management tools are really easy to work."

"It easily connects to other Oracle products and services."

"The transaction handling of WebLogic and the way it is designed is excellent."

More WebLogic Suite pros

"Zend PHP Engine is a good tool for developing and collecting data, offering strong performance."

"Zend PHP Engine is more secure than any other framework, and I usually prefer Zend PHP Engine for big applications."

"Scaling up is an important factor for large projects, and with PHP 7 and its performance improvements, this becomes even easier."

"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 fact that it is available open-source is the best feature."

"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."

"The solution's initial setup process is easy."

More Zend PHP Engine pros

Cons

"WebLogic requires a person with coding knowledge for easy configuration and quick integrations."

"I would like to see the licensing policy simplified."

"Lacking a solution for smaller applications."

"The restart capability needs to be improved because it takes us 15 minutes to restart any application."

"The support is not good."

"The content search is not easy."

"This solution doesn't have connectors to other external applications."

"Sometimes there are issues when we work on a VM because people use it to put all of their reports on it at the same time. Then I have to restart and rebuild the machine."

More WebLogic Suite cons

"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."

"Its object oriented programming language needs improvement."

"Integrating AI tools would make PHP more competitive, as other tools already have AI features."

"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."

"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."

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

More Zend PHP Engine cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product comes bundled with Oracle Premier Support."

"Technical support is very costly."

"There is a license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

"The cost of the WebLogic Suite license is a bit high."

"Scaling is costly."

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

"Its pricing depends on the number of users."

"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."

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