Overall Satisfaction with PhpStorm

The University's development team used PhpStorm.
  • Version Control: Git, Subversion, and Others.
  • Alerts about code being developed, alerts like errors, discontinuation of some function, suggestions for improvements.
  • Application database access can run SQL commands directly from PhpStorm without having to have any other clients open.
  • Shortcut keys that assist in the coding process.
  • After some version updates, the application started to slow down to initialize or perform some operations.
  • The process for initializing the source code debugging is a bit obscure, so I had to resort to videos teaching how to execute.
  • We couldn't calculate the ROI because the systems developed were for the public university itself.
Two things were decisive for choosing PhpStorm, and the first was the Education version since we were a university we were able to license for free, and the other was that we just had to use a single tool to develop our activities (coding, versioning), and operations in the DB).
Another point was that the application is cross-platform.
When we got in touch to apply for free university licenses, the PhpStorm (JetBrains) team was very attentive and prompt, sending us the required number of licenses quickly

  • It is ideal for backend or even frontend developers. With versioning facilities and access to different databases, all in one application.
  • Not interesting when you need to make minor adjustments/maintenance to third party codes, punctual things since it takes a long time to initialize.
