What do you like best about Symfony?

That the documentation lets you specify version number, that you can fall back to plain old PHP, Mysql, HTML if you want to, that you can use as little or as many parts of the framework as you desire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Symfony?

There are so many ways to do things that the documentation and the support on third party QA sites answers old questions or alternative ways that may not be possible anymore. The third party bundles can get complicated to add to your app. It uses a lot of memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Symfony:

I would recommend looking at Laravel instead because it's basically a version of symfony that was simplified and updated with extra time saving features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We solved the problem of not having a website. There has been zero benefits so far by using Symfony over other frameworks. Only disadvantages if development time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
