CakePHP Reviews & Product Details

For us, programmers allow us to work more dynamically in the development of web applications, using all their tools that are characterized by having logic. Among other features that has this tool CakePHP Flexible license, Compatible with PHP versions, Code scaffolding, Automatic code generation., MVC architecture among others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I have no problem or discomfort with the use of this application Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CakePHP has always had a fast and consistent development and, with that goal, CakePHP places a great emphasis on convention. Therefore, like Ruby on Rails (of which CakePHP drew much of its inspiration), CakePHP strongly adheres to the convention on the configuration principle.

CakePHP, on the other hand, has always been largely compatible with previous versions. In fact, every release since version 2.0 has been 100% compatible with previous versions, which means that an update takes several seconds.

Conventions mean that a developer does not have to think about "where things are going" when he learns how to use the CakePHP framework, since the default values ​​for these rules are already established. While one needs to become familiar with the CakePHP conventions, once mastered, the developer can concentrate on core development, instead of having to worry about where the code is placed and other configuration issues.

Other advantages would be:

1. Excellent for the application (not only on a medium scale but on a large scale, already used in our company)

2. Many magical methods that greatly reduce writing time and are very useful

3. Maintenance of appearance, a new programmer can easily understand the code

4. Does not complicate the configuration, cleans the code and easily integrates with other JavaScript frameworks like jQuery, Foundation or Bootstrap

5. It is safe and covers common security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its biggest problem is the configuration because it presents many difficulties at the time of making it.

It can be argued that CakePHP is an inherited framework, or uses old (bad) PHP habits. There is some truth in this: Cake has not been as quick to adapt to the newer PHP versions as they should. I was always surprised that with new major releases, from 2.4 to 2.5 for example, that the minimum version of PHP will never increase. For example, CakePHP only requires version 5.2.8 of PHP, but it would not have been difficult to update the minimum version at least 5.3 when adapting a new version. Anyone in an existing version 5.2 of PHP could have continued to use the existing branch of version 2.x. As they released new major versions, they could have increased the PHP version and made changes accordingly (keeping the revolution going). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use of this framework is great, install, configure your database and your ready to code. This is a great feature because i use when i was looking for easy frameworks to start coding. 0 experience in frameworks needed to use it.

Another good thing is the protection against SQL and other codes injection, so you can get a final system free of SQL hackers with almost 0 efford. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is not one of the TOP 3 frameworks in the market. The majority of the companies/jobs search coders that knows other frameworks. So is very unlikely (at least for me) you found a job coding in Cake. So this framework is more for learning the basics about frameworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CakePHP is one of the best development framework for PHP, it is quite versatile, with a long time in the market of solutions that implement the MVC paradigm. It allows the rapid creation of prototypes with the basic functions of any system, and extensive security features, especially, regarding protection against SQL injection, which allows a safe and fast deployment of applications, ready for production environments. Makes use of php, one of the most widespread and easy to learn programming languages in the world, also makes use of Apache, one of the most common web servers on the market, as well as open source database managers, such as mysql and postgres. It has the support of an extensive community of developers, who keep up to date the standards of development of this tool, as well as the detection of vulnerabilities. the documentation in several languages, is one of its positive points, decreasing the learning curve among developers. One of the tools of this framework that is most appreciated is the possibility of migration between versions, which keeps the development investment up to date. Highly recommended to see automated solutions in short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the installation process is difficult, the application creation command does not quickly detect the php libraries that should be active, before the creation of applications. A previous php verification process would be useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it was easy to understand and to use. The flexibility that it provides proved very useful and I can see various applications in which this may be successful. I have shared this with colleagues and we plan to use this framework for our web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The things that I disliked was that it was slow. If the speed may be improved, it would be greatly beneficial and would enhance the user experience. There are other tools that provides similar service but operates at much better response time. Wish there was a way to improve performance speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think CakePHP is getting old just like CodeIgniter or other frameworks because they really never tried to update it to the new techs just keeping updating the same ...While Symfony and Laravel reinvents themself, CakePHP is still on the same way as always and not trying to fight against those. Is like Joomla nowadays vs Wordpress or Drupal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that CakePHP is less popular than Symfony framework so it's more difficult to find help and tutorials on this framework. The community around the project seems to be really smaller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
