"It's become almost a necessity to day-to-day work"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHPStorm is a fully featured IDE, so it handles all of your development, but also database management and automation (task runners and tests). For this reason it can replace more that a single piece of software.

It's also reliable, important for when stressed and you need it quickly.

As a linux user it also works seamlessly, which can be unusual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

It's not a free product - which is fair enough, but makes it harder to recommend to new users.

Also understandably, when you're asking a lot of it, in the past I've had to increase the memory limits to cope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

A free trial is available, if you try it and the machine you're running it on is powerful enough, then you're unlikely to go back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Developing a PHP-based web application in a business environment, PHPStorm has helped us reduce the number of bugs being committed and pushed (often for silly reasons) through it's highlighting of problems quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Sometimes it slows down the machine when it tries to reindex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PHPStorm, the power-toolbox for PHP application development"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

Since I started trying out PHPStorm in 2013 I fell in love with it immediately. Not only is it a very powerful editor for writing code and managing your applications, but it comes complete with all the tools you need besides your development so you don't need to exit the IDE for testing your REST API's, debugging and profiling your code, running your tests, connect and manage your databases, validate your code and configure and start your virtual machines with Vagrant. It's an all-included power-toolbox when you're serious about web application development with PHP.

Their support is awesome and very responsive. If you describe your issue correct, you'll get quickly solutions provided and their community is just great to learn from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

This IDE is full of features, more than you probably ever going to need which makes this IDE a bit heavy, but this is not affecting the responsiveness of this application. Fully featured and with additional plugins it's still the best IDE to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

Go to the Jetbrains website and download a 30-day free trial from https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/ and see for yourself why PHPStorm is such a great IDE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In application development, the most important tool is the IDE. If you don't have the best tool around you loose precious time waiting for it to load, build or execute whatever you've written.

PHPStorm is the IDE that provides all the tools (and add some) you need to develop robust web applications without loosing a snappy, highly performant user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PHPStorm is so far the best PHP IDE for Mac"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

It does a great job with organising and keeping track of all my projects. It's integrated Git client is good and the deployment options are great. It works great with large projects, you can easily jump between different parts of them. It shows great inline tips which help me code better. You can easily see what changes have you made compared to the git head. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

I still have some issues with setting up the shortcuts - for example there's not an easy one for searching inside the currently open file. When working with frameworks (for example - Yii) it can't always lead you to the declaration of a method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

You should definitely download and try the trial version - you have a month to decide if you like it or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I and the rest of the PHP devs on my team are able to write code faster with fewer bugs. The quality of our code improved since we started using PHPStorm. It helps a lot that it is cross-platform as we are using different OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using PHPStorm since 2 years. I have had free license when I was undergraduate student and used it for my senior project and on my internships also.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Sometimes autocomplete does not work well and I am deleting the code unconsciously loosing my speed of code. Sometimes fan of my Macbook pro retina 2015 mid's fan going crazy while i am coding with php storm. I dont know if this happens only to me but it is a bit problem and maybe intellij can decrease cpu usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A fast, intelligent productivity multipier"

5/5

What do you like best about PhpStorm?

PHP Storm has an intuitive UI that makes it fun and easy to code large applications. There are a multitude of keyboard shortcuts that make it fast to find the code you're looking for. It's not free, but it's not "expensive" either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PhpStorm?

Some of the third-party integrations can be troublesome. Also, there are definitely unresolved issues with case-sensitivity between operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PhpStorm:

Buy PHP Storm! There is not possible way you could regret this decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It can be difficult to keep the entire standard PHP library, not to mention your own classes/functions, in your head at one time. An intelligent IDE can mitigate this difficulty, but only if it's working alongside the user. PHP Storm helps me to tackle hard problems and discover novel solutions.
