Love the git integration, Symfony code completion and built in unit testing along with the obvious 'standard' code features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Sometimes can be slow after using slimmer tools like Atom/Sublime - not enough to bother me Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hands-down the best PHP development experience around"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

It's a fully-integrated system, through it I launch my development virtual machines, fire off Gulp tasks and other commands, and deploy my code via Git. It's a one-stop shop for almost all of my coding work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

It's buggy once in a while, has some occasional performance issues on my Linux machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

If you work with PHP for more than a few hours a week, do yourself a favor and buy PhpStorm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed an IDE to enable me to code more efficiently and spend less time switching around between tools and finding reference documentation or code declarations. PhpStorm gave me all those benefits, and so much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"At home in PHPStorm"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

Built in integration for services like FTP/SFTP and common code repositories. Integration goes beyond external services and include a host of features for working in CMSs like Drupal and Wordpress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Sometimes adding a layer of abstraction on top of things like GIT or SVN can make it more cumbersome to use, but often the solution is to become more knowledgable with GIT or SVN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

There are benefits to open source software, but there are also benefits for paid software. With PHPStorm, it continues to get regular updates and add useful features. On the flip side, with the plugin system, the sky is the limit to extending PHPStorm and making it do what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Working with an agency and being spread across multiple clients, PHPStorms MDI and Projects makes it easy to switch between different environments and keep things straight and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An excellent tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm covers a lot of tools for the developer, but my favourite has to be the customisation of everything, right down to the ability to tweak the code standards use (no matter how obscure). It is hard to pick a favourite feature though! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

They do alot of updates, which is good and bad. If it is a feature release they need to uninstall and reinstall the new one. If you have quick bar links etc then they dont get updated, which adds to the update pain. The "minor" updates are fine though since they auto install, just a shame it doesn't do that for all updates.

Another downside is that I use some ruby projects, Jetbrains charge more to support other languages - now that is their business model which works but its a shame they dont to an all-in-one IDE like other competitors. They offer a all-in package but the price of it (per developer) for a company is way over the top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

Explore all features! I only used a few at the start (i.e. separate console and GIT) it really does perform well when you link it all up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves many development problems, by integrating many tools into the same program. Elements like GIT, console, terminal and even plugins (community based) if you need even more! It speeds up dev time and reduces dependency on more open windows/programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best refactoring tool"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

Best tool for refactoring. It's very easy and fast. I wish they had more refactoring options for non-static methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Auto-formating doesn't work with sql well. Auto-alignment messes our existing formating as it replaces our tabs with spaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
