    The input class makes it easy to provide server-side validation and scrubbing of user input. Setting Error messages. It doesn't require constant command-line access, It's great because it has a strong community and excellent documentation, but the problem is that it tries to retain backward compatibility with PHP 4 and therefore lacks a lot of "standard" features modern frameworks have such as auto-loading.

    If you are a WordPress development shop, or host a number of WordPress websites, this is for you. Even if you only have one website but are looking for an easy way to make updates, schedule backups and keep track of the maintenance of your site, this would be a great tool. The cost is reasonable and it saves time, while adding peace of mind with "Safe" updates.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • CodeIgniter is an excellent tool when a simple database API is needed. Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite are all abstracted into a simple-to-use
    • CodeIgniter's simplicity is truly its best feature, because you are able to create controllers and methods based on the http://www.example//, and immediately being developing the application.
    • Flexibility is also another developer-friendly feature, because developers are able to design their application in any way - controllers, models, libraries, and helpers can be located anywhere or not used at all.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Faced some issue of session management, so that's why we used the Core Session library for that. It would be great if we could improve it a little bit.
    • Frameworks provide the option to setup all getters/setters, so having this option in it is a great idea.

    • The reports could be prettier, more templates in order to avoid having to customize for each client so heavily.
    • It would be nice to see if recommended plugin updates are actually production and not beta versions.

    It's very straightforward for basic use, but less you dig in more for advanced use. Seems like it would be approachable to the average person.

    CodeIgniter has a very small footprint. The source code is very small sized. Setting up a project is very easy. Follows MVC pattern. Consumes low memory and CPU. Well documented. Has a built-in forum for users to discuss and get the solution for issues. Periodically updates versions and patch fixes etc.

    ManageWP
    Prior to ManageWP, we utilized InfiniteWP, a free (with paid extensions), self-hosted alternative. We found the interface to be unwieldy, and the paid extension pricing to be a bit confusing. The headache of maintaining the software and server infrastructure to run the platform, overshadowed the cost savings for us.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • Because of quick turnaround on portals/intranets, it was easy to offer this as an option to clients.
    • As there is no cost associated with this framework, it was great not having to worry about purchasing or licensing. (MIT License).
    • Community support helps in that there are no ongoing support contracts or costs.
    • No direct representative for one-on-one support, if needed. This can cut into time used on projects.
