## Zend Studio Reviews
  ### 1. Zend Studio is a shame

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Zend Studio?**

Nothing, it is obsolete.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.

**What do you dislike about Zend Studio?**

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.

**Recommendations to others considering Zend Studio:**

Do not buy Zend Studio. There are other much much much better choices!!!

**What problems is Zend Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Nothing. Compared to other choices, Zend Studio brings nothing. (Not developed for years now.)
