Zend Studio Reviews & Product Details

Plenty of plugins and solid integration with PHP servers, including Zend itself. It’s my daily driver for PHP and a host of other languages. The text formatting and color themes are excellent, and everything looks clean and readable. I’ve never had to use customer support, which is a plus in my book. It’s also simple to install, with no crazy config settings to dig through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I can’t really think of anything off the top of my head right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

THE SIMPLICITY OF WORKING WITH ZEND STUDIO ALLOWS ME TO BE CONFIDENT WITH THE INFORMATION I PROVIDE IN THE DATABASE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT STILL NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS EVEN THOUGH THE LAST UPDATE HAS ALLOWED IT TO DEVIATE A LITTLE FROM ITS OBJECTIVE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like this tool because of the performance helps in indexing ,searching and the validation of the php code it also helps for deploying php applications on the any servers which includes cloud support of the Microsoft Azure and Amazon aws.

In the debugging it offers are z-ray integration ,zend debugger and xdebug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main I dislike this is the cost is more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The migration tools that allow us to move code to PHP 7 in the fastest way, enable us to perform code tests and help us execute unit tests faster, thus making code more reliable, have helped me save time. We can deploy the applications on any server, including in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For commercial use, a paid license is required; however, considering the cost-benefit received, the price is reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its small weigtlh and simplicity make it a very light and quick editor, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have all the features you need to develope any rich and comlex application. It has one of the best integrations with PHP7, a great debugging tool and project management is really easy. And as a plus, it also takes advantage of the Eclipse ecosystem, gaining access to a lot of usefull plugins. Another good reason to use it is it's easy deployment to cloud based systems. And it also works great when you are working on mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is getting heavier and heavier each new version. Although this is not yet a huge impediment when you are working on a complex project, I don't feel it's the best option for small apps. From time to time, it has some stability issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the responsiveness of Zend Studio. As I'm developing, Zend Studio has proven to be the most responsive software that I have used. I also like how accurate the customization is - this saves a lot of time by ensuring accuracy. I also appreciate the constant updates that are made to Zend Studio. It stays up-to-date, automatically upgrading as necessary. I have found that it stays on top of those upgrades - which is important for us. I also like Zend Studio's method suggestion - this has saved me so much time when developing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have much that I have found to dislike about Zend Studio. I dislike that when working with large repository imports, Zend Studio takes a long time making additions to my projects. Overall, I think that Zend Studio could improve performance by enhancing its overall speed and responsiveness. Other than those, there is nothing that I can say that I dislike.

Nothing, it is obsolete. They still have their name (Zend, the developer of PHP), but their products (Studio and Guard) is no longer meet any modern requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zend Studio is an obsolete, neglected project of Zend. It is like Zend Guard. They still sell it, but no release for years. I find it a shame, that they still ask money for it. Beginners may fall into this trap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Zend Studio every day. It's not very well put together. It should be project based. You mention that you have to define a global setting for the php version - that should be defined by the current project you have open or by the project the current file belongs to. The same goes for ftp servers - they're all defined globally - that should be defined within the scope of the project. The UI sucks in general because you can't hide unused toolbars. Everything is always in the way. Yes, it's a java app and it's reasonably fast, but it always has choke points. It'll freeze up and you can't do anything for a minute while it does whatever it thinks needs doing. This sucks big time because it almost always comes while writing code - like it decides to rebuild the code completion database in the middle of working. It blocks the whole UI and is extremely irritating. Because of that, I've taken to using vim more than ZS. It's pretty good, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Keep in mind that it's a commercial app and you don't get even minor version updates without a support contract. If there's a serious bug, chip up the cash to get the next minor release (which are rare) or the next major release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Generally a Java-based IDE is little bit slow but the Zend Studio is a powerful IDE for PHP development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zend Studio release support and all its improvements to the language. Zend studio has great advancements in the Composer and JavaScript tooling, allowing you to create a new PHP project from a composer package or take advantage of the Eclipse Web Tools Platform. It also brings support for HiDPi displays and automatically scales according to the existing DPI settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that I was expecting even better results than what I actually got it is a good debugger overall and works really well with JavaScript but I do feel it was somewhat slow and couldn't quite keep up with the amount of work that I needed to complete with this software program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple deployment option makes very efficient to build app and have it ready in timely manner. Enhance support makes troubleshooting very easy and effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Operating on remote server can be troublesome depends on latency and response time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
