"Django’s Clear Structure and Auto-Generated Admin Saved Us Tons of Time"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Django?

I picked Django for Ethics Empire's internal tools because it has strong opinions that are useful. The project's structure is easy to understand, so when I opened the codebase after three months, I still knew where everything was. The admin interface that was automatically made from my models saved me from having to make CRUD screens by hand. I just defined Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

For beginners, Django's deployment story is too hard to follow. It took us two full days of trial and error to set up WSGI, static files, and database connections on our VPS. The framework assumes that you know how to manage a Linux server. I wish there was a simpler way for Ethics Empire's small team to "deploy to production." Also, the async support feels like it was added on instead of being built in. We don't need it yet, but I'd like the real-time features on our project dashboard to be cleaner. When you want to do something out of the ordinary, the "batteries included" way of thinking can make it hard to work with the framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Django solving and how is that benefiting you?

When you run a services business, you have to keep track of relationships, projects, and money all at the same time. Django fixed the problem with our data silos. Our client database is linked directly to projects and invoices. I can see which clients are making money, which projects are late, and who is working on what without having to export CSVs. The permission system lets department heads see their team's data without having to look at private financial information. In a few lines of Python, the ORM can handle complicated queries like "show me all active clients with overdue payments." I understand everything in one codebase, so adding new features, like the expense tracking we added last month, only takes a few hours instead of weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
