"What is PhpStorm IDE? Why use it?"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm extended code formatting structure is ready to help you format your code, perform unit tests or provide visual debugging. It provides a rich code editor and code completion features. In addition, PhpStorm offers an excellent suggestion to help you understand the operation of the application at every step.

It works well with large frameworks like PHPStorm, Symfony, Zend Framework, Yii, CakePHP, Laravel and important CMS systems like Drupal, Magento and WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

The only and biggest drawback is that it is paid, unlike its biggest competitors. There is a free version for students, universities and many institutions, but for companies it is bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

A good IDE is packed with lots of features and facilitates rapid development and effective PHP programming. The integrated development environment creates the developer's playground and it is very important to choose an IDE that best fits the needs.

JetBrains has been one of the most loved companies in the developer tools market and has made coding easier and fun for developers over the past 15 years. Do not ignore this and feel free to choose.

You can install many plugins, research them and install the most beautiful ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Although PhpStorm is a PHP development tool, Javascript, HTML, CSS, CoffeeScript etc. It also provides a development environment for web technologies.

PhpStorm can be run locally or remotely with the Zend and Xdebug debugger. In addition, you can use the phpunit test unit.

PhpStorm is fast, easy to install and has the ability to work on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Support GIT, FTP and remote file synchronization.

Finally, the easy management of multiple projects and quick transitions between projects, since there is more than one employee in a project, the ability to compare before saving, to prevent loss of coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Developing powerful application with PhpStorm"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PhpStorm is my first choice when it comes to developing a PHP Web application. All the major PHP frameworks are supported in Phpstorm such as Laravel, CodeIgnitor, Symphony, CakePHP, Wordpress, and Magento. PHPstorm is the advanced version of Webstorm with support of PHP and Database. Its refactor feature helps in safely renaming, editing and deleting a file in the project. With PHPStorm we can build powerful web applications and API and work with remote projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm is a very heavy IDE and has a very slow startup time. It reduces our system performance while working on a heavy project or file. I have personally experienced this issue on my mac system while working with a heavy javascript file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At our company, we use PHPStorm for developing PHP Web applications that are stable, secure, and powerful for our clients. It becomes easy to work on projects that are hosted on cloud with PHPStorm. The IDE has various features like JS Debugger, Code completion, Refactor, and code inspection that are very helpful while working with PHP projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple yet Powerful PHP IDE software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPstorm is our first choice when it comes to developing a large PHP web application as it supports almost every PHP framework like Symphony, Laravel, Drupal, Magento, and Zend framework. Once the project is created it deeply scan our project for all dependencies and understand its structures. PHPStorm even supports all major frontend technologies likes HTML, CSS, Javascript, Jquery, SASS, LESS, Vue, Typescript and many more. Another feature of PHPStorm is the Live edit feature that helps in seeing the changes instantly in the browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

The only thing I dislike about PHPStorm is that whenever there is an update for Mac PHPStorm we have to download it externally and install it again. Another disadvantage is that while working on a large project or heavy file the system slows down and makes it impossible for us to do other work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently, we use PHPStorm for creating powerful web applications for our clients as it is a perfect tool for building powerful PHP web applications. While working with large and heavy application there are a lot of chances of bugs or programming errors and PHPStorm IDE works with Xdebug and Zend Debugger to improve the efficiency of our code.

I like the Autocomplete features and the display of errors (syntax or compile time errors). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

When working with big projects it can get laggy. For example, we use Magento 2 at work and at some point it lags and completely shuts down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

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

A lot of other IDEs don't provide the features like Autocomplete or display of errors features. Also, I like the integration of Git. Another thing is the local history which helps looking back at changes and reverting them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and Powerful IDE"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPstorm is our primary choice when it comes to developing powerful PHP Web applications. It is really easy to debug our code whether its PHP, Javascript or XML. It supports almost every heavy PHP framework like CodeIgniter, Laravel, and CakePHP which are mostly used by developers. One of the best features of PHPstorm is that we can create a project that is hosted on the remote host and files are accessible through FTP/SFTP. PHPStorm has an inbuilt command-line tool that helps in running important commands in the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

PHPstorm is a very heavy software and while working on a large project PHPStorm consumes a lot of physical memory and slows down the system and making it hard for us to work on other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PHPStorm helps us in building a powerful PHP Web application that is stable, secure and robust. We are currently using it to develop and maintain our Laravel Web application that is hosted on the remote server and is accessed through SFTP and by this, we can work on our local project and file get instantly synchronized with the server.
