Very fast and easy to use with python 2.7.14. Good documentation.

Usage of using non-blocking network I/O which allows having tons of connections. Ideal for WebSockets.

Can be used as asynchronous networking library, not only web server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've found that it's harder to debug Async I/O based web server.

Writing unit tests wasn't to convenient. Personally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
