What do you like best about CodeIgniter?

What I like most about the Codeigniter framework is a very simple language to learn that is based on the php language, which is the language for learning web programming par excellence. In addition to its simple code to develop systems, this language has a very good security already included, to avoid that your code and data from the database are easily hacked. This language is based on the MVC pattern (Model, view, controller), which is the programming methodology that is currently a reference for development. This pattern is the same as the great development language of the moment, such as laravel, python, among others, which guarantees that if a system developed in Codeigniter is easily migrated to another programming language as mentioned above. It is also very easy to install and configure, and obtaining the program is completely free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CodeIgniter?

Codeigniter is not a language to develop systems of great great technical requirements, the administration of the database structure must be carried out separately, that is, the changes of the tables and their creation must be made directly in the Database, unlike the Laravel programs. and Django where they are administered from the Software itself. Another aspect that is weak in codeigniter, is that their libraries and herper, are not very specialized, are tools to develop simple systems, so if a robust library is required to develop technically advanced modules, does not meet expectations. Another element that I do not like about Codeigniter is that of version 2.6, they are threatening that they will not continue to develop the codeigniter through the project code, codeigniter.org, which generates uncertainty when standardizing all projects with this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CodeIgniter:

I would recommend Codeigniter for those companies where software development is a support tool for their core processes and not as a company that seeks to market and offer their systems as a commercial tool. I would also recommend it to those companies with limitations in their budget to hire developers and seek to train their own staff with a low learning curve. Nor does it require expert technical personnel in the installation and configuration of the software, since performing these tasks with codeigniter is very easy and does not require this expert technical staff.

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

One of the problems that the Codeigniter program helped us with in the ministry was that it was previously developed in Laravel and the programmers in this tool are highly valued in the labor market, and all the developers' staff left the organization at the same time. Now it is easier to hire less expensive developers in codeigniter and it is easier to train novice programmers, since the learning curve in this language is short. Also the dynamics in Venezuela leads us to develop applications to solve problems very quickly, and in codeigniter it is very easy and fast to develop an information system.
