"Making PHP still relevant"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Laravel?

it implemented nice features for PHP development that were desperately needed, like ORM, and provided more structure to a wild wild west kind of development that surrounded a lot of the PHP development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Laravel?

It is still PHP, maybe this is a bit biased after working a lot with PHP, but there are better options out there, more efficient options and with better support now, although it is good if you are already on PHP for some reason, this will not be my first choice for a project that I'll start from the ground up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best framework ever"
5/5
What do you like best about Laravel?

I am a Certified Laravel Developer. Laravel is the easiest framework I've ever tried. It is very complete and it is in constant development. You find a lot of resources on the Internet about Laravel and it has a lot of remarkable plug-ins, packages, and extensions. In addition, there are a lot of official services that make the Laravel ecosystem the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Laravel?

I dislike the magic "where" methods, like whereName(), whereEmail(). Anyway, this is being deprecated so it is not a big deal. Observers are also a nice feature but drive unexpected results when many people with different backgrounds are working on the same project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A compact php framwork"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Laravel?

There are a lot of features in Laravel to like. It is now one of the best PHP frameworks used by developers. First of all, this is an MVC framework. It has an integrated command tool Artisan. It has a reverse routing option which is one of the best features. It has an integrated mail service and a lot of packages to use. It has a straightforward authentication system, and PHPUnit testing helps troubleshoot. Another great feature of Laravel is it has a default Eloquent ORM software. Laravel has excellent documentation for beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Laravel?

Laravel could be a complex framework for beginners. If we compare it to Codeigniter, then Codeigniter is a much easy PHP framework than Laravel. Laravel does not have any built-in support function. The development using Laravel is a little bit slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Web Development Framework"
5/5
What do you like best about Laravel?

What's there not to like. Laravel is an amazing web development framework. For those who think PHP is dead, I just want to say, "Have you ever used Laravel". Laravel is so great that I would prefer Laravel over any tech stack for web-related projects. It has everything you may ever need for your projects. Laravel has the biggest development community and its evolving and growing exponentially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Laravel?

I don't see any downside to using Laravel. If you can do something with NodeJs or any other tech stack you can do that with Laravel as well. Laravel even allows you to create single-page applications using a package called Laravel-Livewire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not many dislikes of Laravel. One of the things which I don't like is the tedious task to upgrade the version. It can be a tough task to upgrade from Laravel 5.7 to 5.8. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
