Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/19/2018 "Great Framework, but doesn't have the momentum of Flask" 5/5 What do you like best about CherryPy? It's a great framework, beautifully designed. Does what you need to build an API in a clean, organized way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CherryPy? I prefer to work with software that has momentum and Flask has it when comparing Flask to CherryPy. This downside shows up when running into an issue or trying to do something special and not finding the same volume of others having tried to the same thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CherryPy: It's great and will do what you need. But I can't recommend it over using Flask instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CherryPy solving and how is that benefiting you? Build out an API. It does that and does it well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Engineering Intern Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/5/2018 "Simple with class" 4.5/5 What do you like best about CherryPy? CherryPy is a framework you would use to quickly develop extremely simple web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CherryPy? The simplicity of this framework is its beauty and detriment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CherryPy solving and how is that benefiting you? Used to develop a raw API. It works great for internal applications, but poor for front end use due to its limited features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With CherryPy I can easy setup a web application in a few minutes and start testing my ideas. I use it a lot for building prototypes in short times and showing results without messing with boring configurations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CherryPy? It lacks templates so I have to build all the output old school, kinda like working with PHP a long time ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CherryPy: I prefer Cherry over flask since I find it more "pythonic", give it a try, you won't regret it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CherryPy solving and how is that benefiting you? The main benefit as I explained before is that it is really useful for prototyping, I can play with my ideas in about minutes, it is really easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
