4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

The user interface is very beautiful.There is a free version so you only need to pay for professional support if you need.You can use it on linux, Mac, Windows, and export-import the settings in one second.

"Best IDE for web development "

4/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PhpStorm has two types of autocompletion : structural completion and word expansion .

Structural completion makes prediction based on its understanding of PHP , while the latter tries to predict the word currently typed based on previously typed word . Word expansion also works in comments and docstrings . Both types of autocompletion works extremly well and quite fast when loading the suggestions . It is also good for SQL inspection and autocompletion of tables and fields . Also has support for Xdebug including remote debugging . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

It is not a free software . A very slow indexing , large projects after some time will be very slow . And also interface is sometimes slow and buggy . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

PhpStorm is developed continually , which gives confidence that it will be available for some time and it is not abandonware . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps us to save building and integrating libraries for testing RESTful web services .It also enables testpoint without leaving testspace and without disrupting the workflow . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best software at low cost"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

The best thing about PHPStorm is the ease with which you can build applications. The company behind it, Jetbrains, is very good with multiple solutions for all types of languages. It has an option to install plugins that provides enormous ease for developers to design their own apps. Composer support, embedded terminal, Git, Plugin with Symfony... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

The IDE performs terribly when your project is too large and you handle a lot of dependencies with composer, sometimes it affects so much that it becomes unbearable to work, but it happens very rarely. The same happens when you work with an environment in docker or vagrant, when it has to index a large amount of data... It becomes a bit unbearable to work. When you switch branches with GIT and the changes are many, it also becomes a bit unbearable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

Nowadays, the market for web apps is on the rise, PHPStorm provides many features to make the work very pleasant. It supports multiple languages and through plugins, integration with many frameworks. It is super fast, they constantly update the IDE, the embedded terminal is wonderful as you don't get dizzy switching from window to window. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My work team synchronizes correctly since it supports Git. It's great not having consistency issues in the code, we are always up to date. Also, updates are released from time to time, it's very easy to update and it has never caused me any problems. The ease with which plugins are installed, you don't need to be a designer to create screens in the applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The PHP IDE for Wordpress Developmement"

4.5/5

Ease of use. Integration with SourceTree. As of version 8.0, PhpStorm brought in more WordPress integration which makes using PhpStorm for WordPress plugin, theme, and site development simpler. PhpStorm recognizes a WordPress related project and will ask you to point it in the direction of your installation path. It will also check to see if you want to add the installation to the PHP Include paths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

I wish there was better code helping tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE for programming in PHP"

4/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm is very well organized. It offers code inspection, which helps you identify problems right from the start, such as missing a comma, semicolon, spelling mistakes, empty statements and even logical errors. Offers code completion to help you finish faster.

It has a very nice user interface, which allows you to easily navigate and find what you are looking for. The setup menu is well designed and it is easy to find the configuration you are looking for. Setting up an FTP, SFTP or FTPS server is quick and easy, so it connects to a database. It also offers completed SQL, if you have it connected to your SQL database, and it also checks your SQL queries for errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

When searching for uses of a function or method, there is no option to filter out the uses found by the arguments used in the calls (I often look for uses of a certain optional argument that I need to change or remove from the function statement), so to find them I have to click on each use, even if there are dozens of them in addition to the fact that I have noticed that it uses enough ram memory and can slow down other processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

PhpStorm is the best IDE for PHP development, without hesitation. It integrates with all the necessary tools (git, debugger, etc). Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

PHPStorm has been a very good experience and has helped to complete PHP related projects faster and more effectively, thus minimizing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PHPStorm, the best IDE for PHP and more..."

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

The most remarkable thing about this IDE from my point of view is the capacity for simplification, search, organization and presentation that it has. You can configure almost everything to your liking and thus facilitate the tasks at the time of working therefore saving a lot of time at the end of the working day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Well today the only "stick" I can highlight is its price, but taking into account the quality of the software that is purchased, it is not expensive at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

At the least you deserve to try it, and I'm sure you will not be disappointed at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In the field of software development, it makes programming more comfortable and greatly helps the developer by giving him plenty of shortcuts and automatic actions of the most common things in programming. The clearest benefit is the reduction of time in the most common and habitual tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE for PHP on the market"

4/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

It has a large repository of plugins that cover almost everything needed for web development in general, not just PHP. It also has very good support for Javascript. Regarding search capability, it is quite decent. Integrated options for client-side debugging. It has integration with git and JIRA (with plugins), and can help switch between JIRA issues/tasks, git branches, and time tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Sometimes it uses a good amount of RAM. I'm not sure why, but some projects also cause the CPU to become saturated. If you have a powerful enough PC, this shouldn't be a problem. I have run several instances with 4 GB of RAM and there is no problem. You need to get the 64-bit version that has more memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

It is a stable IDE that has all the current features of an IDE, making it a very competitive program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use this IDE to develop projects for clients. One of the most important things was the ability to export/import the IDE configuration, so all team members would have exactly the same setup, making it easy to work as a team with the same codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good All-round IDE for Php Developers"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

I have found that the code completion and automatic indentation helps me format and present good code. Its handy that it has a dark mode which really helps while coding. The colour scheme really is useful with code highlighting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

I have found while working with php storm that when you create a new project you have to remember to select automatic upload when dealing with remote projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

Start with one project get a feel for the tools and features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Building web applications and linking these with apps. PhpStorm sits well in a suite of applications. It is also very similar to the IED for Android based on the same base applications which makes switching to Android development very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
