What do you like best about Zend Studio?

Its small weigtlh and simplicity make it a very light and quick editor, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have all the features you need to develope any rich and comlex application. It has one of the best integrations with PHP7, a great debugging tool and project management is really easy. And as a plus, it also takes advantage of the Eclipse ecosystem, gaining access to a lot of usefull plugins. Another good reason to use it is it's easy deployment to cloud based systems. And it also works great when you are working on mobile apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zend Studio?

It is getting heavier and heavier each new version. Although this is not yet a huge impediment when you are working on a complex project, I don't feel it's the best option for small apps. From time to time, it has some stability issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zend Studio:

If you are looking for a complete IDE for PHP, this is a must try, for sure. You will love it's debugging feature, it's not as heavy as others (although it's becoming less and less light those times). And when your project is getting bigger and bigger, you will see how easy it is to manage hundreds of variables around all that files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zend Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

When a bug appears (and we know they are inevitable), Zend Studio is by far the best tool to find it. And this can save you lots of time (and money, of course). It supports almost any modern framework you can use, increasing productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zend Studio?

I like the responsiveness of Zend Studio. As I'm developing, Zend Studio has proven to be the most responsive software that I have used. I also like how accurate the customization is - this saves a lot of time by ensuring accuracy. I also appreciate the constant updates that are made to Zend Studio. It stays up-to-date, automatically upgrading as necessary. I have found that it stays on top of those upgrades - which is important for us. I also like Zend Studio's method suggestion - this has saved me so much time when developing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zend Studio?

I don't have much that I have found to dislike about Zend Studio. I dislike that when working with large repository imports, Zend Studio takes a long time making additions to my projects. Overall, I think that Zend Studio could improve performance by enhancing its overall speed and responsiveness. Other than those, there is nothing that I can say that I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zend Studio:

I recommend that - when using Zend Studio - you integrate at the debugging level. This will allow for quick analyzing. I also recommend - as I do with most expensive software - that you take full advantage of Zend Studio's free trail period. Use the trail period to ensure that the product meets your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zend Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Since Zend Studio is easy to configure and automatically updates - it is an easy program to utilize. It saves time because time isn't wasted with configurations and updating the software. Zend Studio has also proven to be beneficial because it is easy to train new users to use. Implementing this program has been a breeze because of its ease of use.

What do you like best about Zend Studio?

Nothing, it is obsolete. They still have their name (Zend, the developer of PHP), but their products (Studio and Guard) is no longer meet any modern requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zend Studio?

Zend Studio is an obsolete, neglected project of Zend. It is like Zend Guard. They still sell it, but no release for years. I find it a shame, that they still ask money for it. Beginners may fall into this trap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zend Studio:

Do not buy Zend Studio. There are other much much much better choices!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zend Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing. Compared to other choices, Zend Studio brings nothing. (Not developed for years now.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zend Studio?

I use Zend Studio every day. It's not very well put together. It should be project based. You mention that you have to define a global setting for the php version - that should be defined by the current project you have open or by the project the current file belongs to. The same goes for ftp servers - they're all defined globally - that should be defined within the scope of the project. The UI sucks in general because you can't hide unused toolbars. Everything is always in the way. Yes, it's a java app and it's reasonably fast, but it always has choke points. It'll freeze up and you can't do anything for a minute while it does whatever it thinks needs doing. This sucks big time because it almost always comes while writing code - like it decides to rebuild the code completion database in the middle of working. It blocks the whole UI and is extremely irritating. Because of that, I've taken to using vim more than ZS. It's pretty good, but there's a lot of room for improvement. Keep in mind that it's a commercial app and you don't get even minor version updates without a support contract. If there's a serious bug, chip up the cash to get the next minor release (which are rare) or the next major release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zend Studio?

Generally a Java-based IDE is little bit slow but the Zend Studio is a powerful IDE for PHP development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zend Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zend Studio has some very nice features like code completion for your own classes, project setup, SVN integration & extended debug options. But... after I've tried the v.5.2 trial for one week I gave up because of some unacceptable problems: - It crashes very often. It simply suddenly dies on Windows XP, and if you had things unsaved you lose them. Unacceptable. - After you have done a find & replace action, you can't go back. It simply moves the cursor over the screen when you press CTRL+Z, without undoing anything. Unacceptable. thanks for the great site Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zend Studio?

Zend Studio release support and all its improvements to the language. Zend studio has great advancements in the Composer and JavaScript tooling, allowing you to create a new PHP project from a composer package or take advantage of the Eclipse Web Tools Platform. It also brings support for HiDPi displays and automatically scales according to the existing DPI settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zend Studio?

I feel that I was expecting even better results than what I actually got it is a good debugger overall and works really well with JavaScript but I do feel it was somewhat slow and couldn't quite keep up with the amount of work that I needed to complete with this software program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zend Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

I think the best business benefit is that it is an amazing debugger one of the best that I've ever come across I really think that's the biggest benefits and probably the only reason that I would continue with Zend studio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
