What do you like best about Django?

Django is a great framework to design the backend of your web application. We started using it widly for smal bussines appilactions and are right now planing a large survey and contact management application for a specific bussines case.

It is easy to just get your page working, add models etc. Most things are taking care of by django itself, you get a great admin panel basicaly for free and that alone speeds up developement.

And python is such a nice and beautiful language, there are lots of tools and apps available etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

that there is no included frontend js framwork. but it is easy to add whatever framework you like... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Django?

Django as we all know is the best web application framework for Python. Its miles ahead from its competition. Although its has a steep learning curve, even a novice developer can start churning out Django projects within days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

its bulky, the ORM layer is too rigid. You have to do stuff the Django way or the Highway. The transition from major django versions is a pain and due to this clients end up using outdated version of Django. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Django:

If you are a python shop and need to churn out web applications rapidly, look no further. The ORM and the Dashboard are its USP. Class based views when implemented properly will save a lot of code duplication Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Had used Django extensively for past 4 years before moving to Flask.

Have used it to create Company websites, E-commerce solutions, RESTFull api's to a mammoth application that powered the whole Startup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Django?

One of the things that I like from Django is that you don't need to reinvent the wheel, Django ports a lot of useful utilities that can be extended in a simple way taking the web development to the next level.

The language: Django uses Python that is a amazing language that provides amazing features mainly with the operating system providing a fast way to interact between a webapp and functionalities of the operating system or even other non-python softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

Although Django let us to take the web development to other, when you're deploying it, the price of the hostings, and the difficulty to deploy the software comparing with programming languages like PHP and comparing frameworks like Laravel.

Other thing is the community support, this has two faces one of those is the quality and the quantity, although Django provides us quality examples, only has few examples, for experienced developers the quality is not really important because we only need that to understand a little about the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Django:

Django is a good software but you'll need to consider your resources, Django is a complicated jump from another language you need to understand first the bases of Python before getting into Django. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Django provides me a easy way to create high performance scalable software. Sometimes the client ask us for last-hour changes, Django provides an easy way to do those changes.

The architecture provides us an easy way to separate the development to our specialist on frontend, backend and databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Django?

Django provides all the stuff needed to bootstrap a web application. Admin, orm, authentication are the most useful features for me.

Also the ecosystem built around it is amazing, packages like django rest framework provide additional value to it.

The community around it is gorgeous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

Maybe the default project structure is not the best one, even thought it maybe well suited for new developer.

The admin is a bit outdated, but it works Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Django:

Go to a django conference, the people, the talks the atmosphere are amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've built a number of bespoke cms and applications for our clients. Integrating payment systems like brain tree or external authentication using saml.

We've also built APIs for a couple of mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Django?

Django is a full stack framework, and most importantly its written in Python. Python is a great language that has a full range of features that satisfy aging computer scientists to novice developers. This allows Django to integrate seamlessly into many tech companies that use Python.

Besides the basic array of tools that most mature frameworks have (ORM, testing, static collection, url controller) Django has a very strong base of contributors feverishly working on its development. It is not the easiest framework to use, as other languages have simpler paths for development and deployment (R and Rails), but for a company to head to the future with as few languages as possible, Python and Django is a fantastic option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

Very steep learning curve, especially for someone with out Python experience. Front end frameworks have significantly less weight on the backend for static sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Django:

For data heavy companies that use python, django is a great tool for handling all application needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have deployed several APIs using Django. Since python has great libraries for office document manipulation I was able to build a few applications that automated work in the office. I was also able to use django-rest framework to integrate into our platform which is built in Node.js Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Django?

It's very clear with the documents and Django Rest Framework works well with my python codes to provide API for the movie database. The thing I love most about Django has to be its buildin generic views like direct_to_template, object_list, object_detail, etc. It's so easy to create a view that shows a paginated list of items, or a view that uses a date in your url Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Django?

Because much of your Python code is only executed once (after which only the compiled result is executed), sometimes it is overly complicated to write a function that is executed on every hit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Django:

The community is great, both Python and Django

Url config's, and how easy it is to create a beautiful url that links to a view.

Extending templates makes it easy to organize your html code

The Django documentation is very good. In fact, I think I have never seen an open source project with better documentation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using Django REST framework to provide interface, user control, model management, integrations and related for my movie random generate api system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
