Sturdy and Reliable
- 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.

CodeIgniter – An excellent choice for beginners and those who need to start coding right now!
- It's open-source! All the code is immediately available for free, and very well-documented. The fact that it's actually free makes it great for ROI!
- On a negative side, as it has grown older and more incompatible with modern libraries, the online community and help articles begin to lose their relevancy.

CodeIgniter - The Little Framework that could.
- Being able to build integration points in our CMS to our analytics and quality assurance products allows us extended use of those products via their APIs.
- Development of the framework had stalled for a period of time
- Using a CMS build on CodeIgniter has had a significant cost savings compared to other enterprise CMS solutions.
