"Full-Featured, Extensible Framework with a Convenient Admin"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Django?

It’s a full-featured framework that feels consistent while still being extensible. The Django admin is extremely convenient to work with, and once the ORM is integrated, relationships become easy to display and manage in the admin.

It is free and open source and so a no-brainer in terms of ROI. It is easy to get started, without needing any human support or onboarding with the documentation available.

It easily integrates with a number of solutions we use - Twilio, Slack, Github to name a few. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

It feels heavier than simpler frameworks like FastAPI. ORM queries aren’t always well optimised, and as a beginner it’s easy to fall into suboptimal patterns, such as N+1 queries, without realising it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Django helps me build full-stack applications without having to piece everything together from scratch. It takes care of a lot of backend work- databases, authentication, routing, security, and admin tools - so I can spend more time on the actual product and the user experience.

It’s especially useful when I’m building AI-powered applications, because I can rely on Django to manage users, data, APIs, and business logic while I connect the app to AI models or services. Overall, it helps me move faster, keep my code organized, and deliver complete applications more reliably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
