"Excellent Plugins, Clean Themes, and Seamless PHP Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Zend Studio?

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.

What do you dislike about Zend Studio?

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

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

It’s incredibly fast for developing PHP apps, whether I’m using a local PHP server installation, connecting to a Zend-driven server, or simply having it auto-FTP/SCP the files I’m working on to my DEV server. That way, I don’t have to keep doing manual uploads or run a separate FTP/SCP app just to monitor folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
