CodeIgniter Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our whole application is written on CodeIgniter. At first, we started with its 3rd version. After 3 years, we rewrote the whole application with CodeIgniter 4. [CodeIgniter] 4 brought a lot on the plate and decreased the gap between it and the other competitor framework such as laravel or Symfony. CodeIgniter can help developers develop applications very fast and its very structured MVC approach helps keep the code neat and clean.

Likelihood to Recommend

Use CodeIgniter if you need to implement your project very fast and want to follow the MVC approach. Also, if you have space constraint, [CodeIgniter] is a very good choice because it's very lightweight. It has most of the modern solutions, from composer to ENV variable, multi server setup, everything.

We use an expression engine for our main website which is built on CodeIgniter. This is one of the main reasons we chose CodeIgniter. It has worked well for our needs. Not widely supported by third party addons but we have made it work with several APIs from other vendors such as twillio, shipstation, sugarcrm.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company, as a startup, has decided to implement the whole solution in the MVC framework so that we can do the development quickly. One of the best possible options was CodeIgniter, so that's why we decided to use it.

CodeIgniter is a great PHP framework for web development. We have used this framework for around 2 years. For small and medium projects like ours it work like magic. Our API development department was very happy with API development for Android applications and these work as expected.<div>

</div><div>We have used CodeIgniter for our Android API development to send and receive user inputs for school management and results checking facility. One of our media websites was running with CodeIgniter.</div><div>

</div><div>It's a very good framework for shared hosting servers. Because CodeIgniter's source code is smaller and does not require high memory or CPU, CodeIgniter helps us to reduce server costs also.</div>

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have small or medium level sites to develop, CodeIgniter does perform very well. Although, developing blog and news portal type websites, it is very good and reliable to use.<div>

</div><div>Projects are a high requirement, CodeIgniter needs to customize a lot. Like developing an online shopping cart with CodeIgniter requires a lot of functionality. Complex functionality requires adding more assets for it to function properly and the codebase is then larger than expected.</div>

CodeIgniter is old, but still awesome for when you need to do PHP projects. Great architecture, beautiful documentation and easily understandable. System settings let you create your own code according to requirement. The best part is a major software developer community has used CodeIgniter so you can get every question's solution on the internet.

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We developed our internal reporting dashboard using CodeIgniter. It allows the whole organization to login and gain access to many reports that deal with different aspects of our company. The dashboard is a great tool to help us review our performance as a company and help us share information to everyone within the company.

Likelihood to Recommend

CodeIgniter is a great MVC framework for PHP. If you would like to learn the model view controller architecture and object oriented programming, I found CodeIgniter easier to pick up versus Cake or Zend. CodeIgniter like any other MVC frameworks is designed for building robust applications that keep your logic separated from your display (view) allowing for better organization and team development. Although you can use CodeIgniter as a one page application, there are better frameworks out there for that and more lightweight such as angular, and reactjs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

CodeIgniter has been our marketing team's main tool to help us build our micro-sites to recruit students and grow our business for the past two years. They have leveraged CodeIgniter in ways that our previous solutions were unable to provide, and has helped to differentiate the feel of our sites.

Likelihood to Recommend

CodeIgniter is not recommended for companies that would prefer a managed, and costly code platform.
