    We haven't found any scenarios where it's not appropriate, but it's well-suited for anyone wanting a stable PHP environment where Zend does the heavy lifting and you don't have to babysit the environment constantly.

    It fits perfectly for SOA and EAI architecture with large numbers of services that required to be wired to each other, the binding virtualization is quite good to simply this part. For the simple scenario of orchestration and /or ESB architecture could be a better use traditional stack.

    Zend is the easiest PHP web server I've used, especially, again, for daily monitoring.

    The Zend Studio PHP IDE is great and has great integration with the Zend Server Platform.

    TIBCO service grid has been chosen as a natural selection of the TIBCO product evolution. The high flexibility and the binding virtualization fits very well with client needs for its EAI applications due to the huge number of services and applications, the management of application dependencies during deployment, the advantage of perfect integration with EMS for logging

    Return on Investment
    Perforce Software
    • ROI - saved a ton of time not having to configure vanilla PHP.
    • Zend framework is easily available and makes many programming tasks much easier.
    • Day to day time savings since Zend essentially monitors itself.

    • The integration of old BW with BWSE and its interface quite similar to design time has reduced the cost of training for developers
    • The TIBCO support for this product is no the best and clients complains too much about this. This required to find a workaround or force the client to move to new/or different product. Huge impact on ROI
