    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.

    • 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.

    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.

    We have choosen OpenText WEM against other vendors because : 1. Helped client reinforce brand image
    through unique design language and templatization of collaterals, consistent
    messaging, and regular competitor benchmarking. 2. Enables lead generation through
    high-quality gated collateral, product videos, etc. 3. Senior management and sales lead meet
    client regularly for project review meetings and feedback on engagement

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

    • 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.
