    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.

    I highly recommend SambaSaaS to businesses managing multiple websites and social media accounts. I also recommend it for entrepreneurs who need to manage international branches and international clients

    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.

    • Automates multisite SEO, so we can stay focused on great content that attracts the right audience for our two entirely different strategic business units.
    • Eliminates the surprises we used to get with other plugins when Wordpress makes unannounced changes that crash other plugins.
    • Agile, easy to use, and saves hours of time and creative resources
    • Automates metric capture: site analytics, keyword/phrase capture, search engine page results etc...in an online dashboard (and it's free).

    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.

    • It has a lot of features. So, it's kind of difficult to get started and to learn every feature in the software. However, once you get used to SambaSaaS, it's fairly easy to navigate.

    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.

    Prior to SeoSamba we were making manual changes. Then we started researching several possible other plugins but the reviews all said the same - that if WP made significant enough changes those plugins would become ineffective. SeoSamba's ability to automate optimization and keep up with/stay ahead of those changes was the deciding factor 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.
