CakePHP

If you need to create simple CRUD applications using a MVC framework, I could say CakePHP could achieve this. But with frameworks like Laravel on the market, I would have a hard time recommending CakePHP for anything.

• Easy learning curve
• Can be used by new developers without paying a formation
• The MVC is pretty well implemented

• The biggest issue inherit in CakePHP, and why we switched to Laravel, is the base configuration of the program. Most people aree that CakePHP uses old (outdated, even dangerous) PHP habits. There is some truth in this: Cake has not been as quick to adapt to the newer PHP versions as they should. I was always surprised that with new major releases, from 2.4 to 2.5 for example, that the minimum version of PHP will never increase. For example, CakePHP only requires version 5.2.8 of PHP, but it would not have been difficult to update the minimum version at least 5.3 when adapting a new version.
• Speed - our company had many issues scaling CakePHP to a medium size application software, even with using REDIS/memcache we would still run into many issues with the built-in ORM.

Cakephp is more easy to implement and to learn that CodeIgniter. That's why I switched pretty quickly from the first (CodeIgniter) to cakephp.

• Negative Impact - we ended up having to rewrite our entire web-application from CakePHP to Laravel.
