"Phalcon is best framework to use in your project."
What do you like best about Phalcon?

Personally I like this framework the best.

Much like in life, a big challenge in programming is keeping a good balance between order and freedom. This framework is very well balanced in this respect. Basically if you're a cool, easy-going and fun individual, this framework is made in your style.

It is light, fast, minimal, flexible, intuitive, good for projects of all sizes, and is stable yet growing quickly. Is it new and missing some trivial things? Yes. Can those things be fixed with a little effort? Yes.

Another awesome thing about Phalcon is Zephir. With it you can now write PHP extensions pretty much in PHP (used to be in C). Phalcon itself is written in Zephir. So, this isn't just another competing framework but an effort at something bigger and I think that is important to consider too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phalcon?

I personally can not find any at the moment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great REST API tool for me"
What do you like best about Phalcon?

Speed is what Phalcon brings to the table. Being compiled as a PHP module certainly makes it the fastest framework around.

It is capable to deal with a vast amount of queries and utilizes not much resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phalcon?

The fact that the framework is a PHP module is both a blessing and a curse. For an example you can't use it on any shared hosting provider (they might not have it installed). I used it a few years ago and remember quite a lot of bugs, which aren't always solvable if you don't want to dig into Zephir, because that's what it's written in.

"Review on Phalcon Framework as a Web Developer"
What do you like best about Phalcon?

Phalcon is really very useful and easy to understand.

The easiest framework to grasp for new developers also.

Installation is also simple and easy by using commands.

It has many built-in functions to save the programmer a lot of time, for example, routing, query builder, views etc.

Can also make our own Structure based on our convenience and very easy to use with MVC structure and Rest API.

Performance is also good by using Phalcon.

Thanks to Phalcon Community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phalcon?

Phalcon framework has a less number of videos comparing others I think so. Other than that nothing bad comes in my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My experience with Phalcon"
What do you like best about Phalcon?

What I really liked is the performance and the speed.

It uses the MVC design patters which is a plus for me.

The ORM is very intuitive.

The documentation is very detailed and well structured.

I have experience with Zend-like framework and I found a lot of similarities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phalcon?

You should have knowledge in C if you want to understand how some things work.

As it is distributed as extension there are an additional installations on a deployment server except from having PHP installed.

The migrations were not well documented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Speed"
What do you like best about Phalcon?

I was amazed with the speed of the framework. Built as a C extension it is really shaping up well. What I loved about this framework is you're not forced to any particular folder structure, you're your master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phalcon?

Don't know why this framework is still uncovered in other platforms and still way fewer developers and contributions. When I discovered about this framework, there were fewer developers using this framework and the community was still growing slowly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nice than I expected."
What do you like best about Phalcon?

Easy to learn is why I think it is good.

In my sight, whoever is familiar with basic knowledge in PHP/MySQL can learn Phalcon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phalcon?

It has MVC structures like Laravel, CI and other frameworks, but compared to them, I think it is a bit of lack of routering features.

In order to improve this function, it would have to be a structure and syntax similar to that of Laravel, I think.

They have already become familiar with many developers and Beginners and are recognized as a reasonable option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Meals booking service with PhalconPHP"
What do you like best about Phalcon?

The #1 reason why I fancied phalconPHP framework was the fact that its VERY FAST! as a seasoned PHP developer I liked the idea of being able to deliver even faster solutions without leaving my preferred PHP language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Phalcon?

The only thing I didn't like about this framework is the lack of resources, the community is still not mature enough and I faced cases where answer to a specific problem wasn't actually working, I had to dig deeper to find out why, but I think the team is working hard to improve their documentation and hence help the community grow.
