"I can carry out my web developments in a more organized, simple, and fast way,"
What do you like best about Tornado?

Its interface is quite simple, user-friendly, and easy to use, which allows me to carry out my developments in a very simple, easy, and fast way. The fact that it is oriented to be a web version seems to me a very practical option, as it saves me from having to download additional programs to code in Python and carry out my web developments in a more organized, simple, and fast way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

There are not many options for documentation or requesting technical support in case of a failure, so it is mandatory to wait for the customer service team to channel all the requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great web-based framework"

"a good Python web framework and asynchronous networking library"
What do you like best about Tornado?

Lightweight web framework

Asynchronous non-blocking IO processing

Excellent load resistance

Excellent processing performance, do not rely on multi-process/multi-thread, to a certain extent to solve the C10K problem

WSGI is a full-stack alternative, and it is recommended to use both its web framework and HTTP server Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

issues with type annotations that caused errors while importing Tornado on Python 3.5.2

And the python tornado really has a very high entry barrier.

The template and database sections have many third-party modules to choose from, which is not conducive to encapsulation as a functional module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy webapps with Python"
What do you like best about Tornado?

Tornado makes it very simple to get started with minimum viable web apps, reducing Dev time and giving a decent enough result at the end. The amount of support through the community also makes it a very attractive choice compared to other python web frameworks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

It's not always easy to get from a minimum viable product to a production ready app. It starts showing limits beyond just the most basic of tasks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great async webserver option for python"
What do you like best about Tornado?

Tornado is a great scalable non blocking web server that I can use for my python libraries and deliverables. I think it is fantastic that we're able to have a scalable system in place integrated directly in python and isn't traditional like WSGI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tornado?

Tornado is open source so we have to have our developers learn each step and there isn't much support available from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
