"Cake-php Develop fast and secure applications"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CakePHP?

What I like the most about Cake-php is that it is a framework based on the php language, which is my favorite software, because of its easy syntax and multiple functions and is object-oriented. For my liking this framework is better than codeigniter and laravel for its security and the ease of creating all the views on the tables of the database in a very easy way. It enables the rapid creation of prototypes with the basic functions of any system and extensive security features, especially with regard to protection against SQL injection, which allows a safe and rapid deployment of applications, ready for production environments. One of the tools of this framework that is most appreciated is the possibility of migration between versions, which keeps the investment in development updated. Highly recommended to see automated solutions in a short time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CakePHP?

What I dislike about Cake-Php, is its installation process which is quite tedious and complicated. Among the things that fail is that the creation process does not detect the php libraries, in addition the automatic process of creating a basic view for all the tables can leave it with a lot of unused views. Really should pay attention to the early stages of development, specifically to the design of the database, a bad design would lead to a real disaster in the department of models and controllers. You have to be careful when designing the application, because a bad design would lead to a real disaster in the models and controllers department

Recommendations to others considering CakePHP:

I would recommend it for those companies with a small development team and have to cover several projects at once, since with a good design, the application builds 70% of the application decreasing the development time. Also that framework guarantees the security of the information of your data, since it has routines that protect the injection system of sql instructions, it restricts the unauthorized access to its controllers through the URL of the browser Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CakePHP solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main benefit is that it allows you to create applications very quickly since the program generates 100% of the windows you need according to the tables that the programmer established in the database. This considerably decreases the development time thus increasing the productivity of the workers. It also allows us to address several projects at once, although the development team is small. The company need that information to be able to track down any problem in the supply chain. from the providers to the customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent utility, very easy to apply."

3/5

What do you like best about CakePHP?

Appearance maintenance, a new programmer can, without difficulty, understand the code. The documentation is certainly all there so that you can build your application with very few desired attempts. CakePHP generally has rapid and consistent development and, with this goal, CakePHP places special emphasis on the conference. Like many different types of Internet, CakePHP supports the creation of REST APIs, an idea that breaks within the manual that covers the steps to create a use of the security framework. Excellent for the application is no longer simpler on a medium scale, but on a large scale, already used in our agency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CakePHP?

Among the issues that fail is that the way of creating now does not locate the PHP libraries, furthermore, the automatic system of making a fundamental view for all tables can result in a variety of unused views. Poor in plugins in open-source repositories, and so on documented needs a bit of work for the advanced technique eight of PHP, however, it would not have been more difficult to replace the minimum version, at least 5. If the speed can be improved, it would be significantly useful and could enhance the consumer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CakePHP solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wish to continue exploring this tool and its capabilities to discover methods to obtain my business organization html org or 3 if I advocate the use of this software, since it is easy to make Internet applications with this device. It is better to apply different frameworks like Laravel. I wished to learn about it and sit for pointers. You want to examine a lot of documentation. If you want a framework, choose Laravel or Symfony, not Cake, Cake is not always for massive tasks or perhaps small projects because you waste a lot of time coding.

"Excellent application, very clean to use."

4.5/5

What do you like best about CakePHP?

To maintain the appearance, a new programmer can effortlessly grasp the code four. When I have to perform heavy and personal work based on the homepage, I use CakePHP as my framework and starting point, the framework has a virtual console that allows you to frame your site in minutes without a headache. It is exquisite for improving Internet page programs, with a large number of templates that facilitate and simplify development, the quality is excellent. Like many different Internet frameworks, CakePHP also supports the creation of REST APIs, a specific section within the manual that covers the steps to create a secure framework usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CakePHP?

API development is possible with CakePHP, however, other frameworks, like Symfony 4 or SlimPHP, are more oriented towards HTTP. Therefore, at least for me, you didn't find a coding process in Cake. The network throughout the task seems to be truly smaller. If the speed can be improved, it could be substantially beneficial and could enhance consumer satisfaction in three while adapting to a new edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CakePHP:

If you want a framework, select Laravel or Symfony, not Cake now. Cake is not always for large projects or perhaps small initiatives because you will lose A LOT of time coding. I hope to continue exploring this tool and its capabilities to find ways to obtain my business organization html org or three if I propose the use of this software, as it is simple to make Internet applications with this tool.

What problems is CakePHP solving and how is that benefiting you?

From the sellers to the customers. It takes me much less time on the app version, the whole process will be easier, faster. The key element at this point is to compare cost efficiency and financial savings. We use four web applications developed in CakePHP with different roles, so you don't have to spend months studying all aspects of the framework to get functional software.

"A good framework to develop classic web app"

3.5/5

What do you like best about CakePHP?

CakePHP is an MVC framework easy to use for classic web apps. The framework allow the creation of simple and complex apps web based, running on the most used scripting language of the web, PHP.

All the common things you need are built-in: interface translations in multiple languages, simplified database access (the embedded CakePHP ORM supports ActiveRecord and Datamapper patterns to access data on database) , caching result of queries or template rendering (redis and memcache are natively supported as backends), validation of data input from end users, authentication, and much more are all built into one of the most powerful PHP MVC frameworks.

There is also an extensive support for CLI based utilities developed on top of your web application: console applications are ideal for handling a variety of background tasks such as maintenance and completing work outside of the HTTP request-response cycle. In any CakePHP console application you can can reuse your application classes already developed for the web app.

As many other web framework, CakePHP supports also creation of ReST Apis: a specific chapter in the manual cover the steps to create a rest-api using the framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CakePHP?

Cloud deployment support lacks of many info - like many other PHP Framework - basically because PHP lacks a real usable web server embedded: documentation should be improved to deploy in cloud/dockerized environment.

API Development is possibile with CakePHP but other frameworks - like Symfony 4 or SlimPHP - are more HTTP oriented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
