"Best IDE for PHP Development"

4/5

What do you like best about Zend Studio?

I have been using Zend Studio for the last 6 years. Unlike other IDEs, Zend Studio is very simple and effective. I had tried other IDEs and felt they are too heavy. Their initial lag and memory consumption were huge when compared to Zend Studio. That is the main reason still I like to develop the PHP applicaitons in Zend Studio. Support for PHP is excellent in Zend Studio. Mainly debugging, plugin plays the vital role in this IDE. I like the simple and effective solution with very well maintained User interface. Zend Studio did that part successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zend Studio?

Need to investigate and integrate revision based system. Make it more developer friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zend Studio:

If you are a PHP developer and tired using heavy IDE which is not probably designed for PHP, then Zend Studio is the best solution. You can feel the easiness and productivity increase after using this. You can integrate debugging level and library support for quick method analyzing. You will like the UI, which is perfectly designed as developer friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have designed and implemented so many applications ie Survey Management system, Questionnaire applications, Logistic portal applications etc. Fast coding and less maintenance are the main benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
