"One of the most powerful PHP framework "

5/5

What do you like best about Laravel?

This framework has all you need to make PHP a clean and Object Oriented language at the same time that helps you to deliver an application with requirements for MVC software architecture design pattern with high success. It has a very big community, great documentation and learn resources and is very stable and powerful framework. It has great integration with mail services, has built-in tool for comman-line called Artisan, Incorporate ORM I say that Laravel framework is what keeps PHP on the top languages for back end web development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Laravel?

Some upgrade might be problematic and may create conflict with previous version and functionalities that are deprecated in the new versions and not supported in new version and if you try to update the code you break the app. Need to patch old functionalities after upgrading. Not very consistent between versions. It is not a very good choice for amateur developers since the documentation is heavy and have to learn lot before get down to build apps.

What do you like best about Laravel?

Expressive API, reading code written with Laravel is the closest you will find to true english language Expressive API, reading code written with Laravel is the closest you will find to true english language The last but not least was testability. Everything from naming conventions to consistent comment formatting is really icing on the cake for the only PHP framework I have used for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Laravel?

It is definitely beneficial to have worked with other frameworks before That being said, if you haven't used any other PHP frameworks you won't be able to grasp how beautiful this framework is It's slow, but gets the job done and is so fast for writing programs that you can easily put your money on the servers instead of hiring more developers On the other hand, for young developers who don't have enough experience it requires more time for development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Laravel:

Performance is very good If it's a beginner, you find lot of resources on internet It is a good framework to quick development Look through the docs page by page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best framework"

It is object-oriented (and not all framework are). The community can be helpful. There are a lot of mechanism that helps so you think about your project and not about other stuffs.

"Laravel: The Php solution of your dreams"

5/5

What do you like best about Laravel?

Laravel has changed the way I see Php, it has made the process of building my websites incredibly easier, you pretty much have any basic php function compiled into a single command, relationship between tables is made in a way that you just need to know basic logic and Laravel/Eloquent will do the rest.

"laravel framework"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Laravel?

The best thing about this very good programming tool is its documentation and user support and that it is backed by a very active community. This makes its use very reliable since it guarantees that Laravel will continue to be updated and in use for many years to come. the most popular and currently used is shown by the large number of new tutorials and youtube channels where they are dedicated to explaining the new features and how to use Laravel in its new versions and get the most out of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Laravel?

What I do not like about Laravel is that they suffer many code changes between version and version, this makes it sometimes difficult to pass applications already finished in a version to the new versions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Laravel:

My recommendation to improve this framework would be that future versions changes are not so abrupt when someone wants to pass an application such as laravel version 4 to use laravel version 5 since the experience was a bit difficult because you had to code some things again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The benefits that Laravel has given me the most is to make my applications more secure, it has very good security features and it also has a very friendly handling of URLs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
