    Initially you may think it’s not worth paying and that there are better free options, which is definitely a lie we once tried to live with. It has everything you may ever need in .NET world, code analysis and debugging works super well and all the SQL/noSQL related integrations are just next level compared to the competition. It’s worth every penny.

    Yii is very well suited if you love to program with Object Oriented PHP. This framework uses OOP very well and if you know this pattern you'll love it. The same applies for its MVC architecture and if you come from formal software development education. Also if you are in a bussiness enviroment and need a stable framework. This is the tool for you. It uses very formal scheme but I would like more open and hackable framework, and for this Yii2 is not a good option. Also, if you like to have bleeding edge technologies I don't recommend this framework.

    Pros

    • Provides a smooth, efficient IDE for developing .NET applications. Performance has been much better than Visual Studio in my experience.
    • Integrated refactoring tools are really comprehensive and useful.
    • Integrates with other JetBrains products such as TeamCity, Upsource, dotTrace, etc.

    Cons
    JetBrains
    • Startup time. It takes a while to index big projects.
    • Rarely it loses the intellisense and the only way to get it back is by restarting.
    • Memory usage for big projects

    • Maybe support to update their main components like jQuery or Boostrap. It's too attached with the included versions.
    • Their view template engine is simple, doesn't offer support for better options like competition.
    • Wiki can include more tutorials for common examples or problems.

    Usability
    JetBrains
    Rider is a great IDE with extensive C# refactoring support and .NET-specific knowledge. This is great for building .NET applications but for our purposes, the Unity specific suggestions are really helpful.
    JetBrains Rider is great as an editing and debugging environment. It reliably connects to the Unity editor and allows debugging, which some IDEs are not as reliable at doing.

    I think is really easy to use, it's not perfect but many developers with great experience will know how to exploit this framework to create great apps!

    The support forums and knowledge base are extensive and the JetBrains support staff respond quickly to new posts and help resolve issues. There is also a publicly accessible issue tracking system, which allows you to stay on top of any bug fixes or enhancement requests.

    It's has a really good support based on online documentation and official forums. But sometimes I wish there were a paid service where to report some urgent issues.

    Rider is hands down smoother and way less glitchy than Visual Studio Enterprise. There are way more refactoring capabilities and spell check so that your code is readable, maintainable, and easy to follow. Since Rider is cross-platform, our developers are no longer constrained to only using Windows. We can now get a familiar development environment across Mac, Windows, or Linux!

    We have used Zend Framework. In comparison Yii Framework is much more lightweight and has smaller learning curve.

    Return on Investment
    JetBrains
    • Built in Resharper into the license fee, great, you likely want it
    • Demands less resources from computer so needing a beefy work computer might not be the case, save money on equipment.

    • Overall Yii has speed up our development and help to cut down on development cost.
    • On the other hand, the bloated vendor library does cause space issues when we have high volume of applications on our servers.
