Considered Both Products	CodeIgniter Verified User Anonymous Chose CodeIgniter CodeIgniter is a lot easier to implement than Laravel. Even though laravel has a lot of other features, they weren't really important for me. I cared about fast deployment and product release and CodeIgniter helped me do it perfectly. Incentivized Helpful? Jay Moore CIO Chose CodeIgniter We chose CodeIgniter for main reason our main site is using an expression engine which is a CMS on top of CodeIgniter. It also had all the features we needed. Incentivized Helpful? Suleman Ahmad Senior Software Developer - NodeJS/Express, Angular, MVC Framework Chose CodeIgniter We have used the express framework as well, but the issue is slow development in express because it takes a lot of time to restart the server on every change on the backend.

Incentivized Helpful? Julian Estiva Web Developer Chose CodeIgniter In my experience, I tinkered with Zend and Cake initially before CodeIgniter.

When I found CodeIgniter, the experience was different and it was much easier to learn. … Incentivized Helpful? Benjamin Hale Director of Development Chose CodeIgniter Similar to the other frameworks, CodeIgniter was chosen due to its community and popularity. It has much of the same aspects of the other frameworks we evaluated, except .Net which obviously doesn't use PHP.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	CodeIgniter is very well-suited to those beginning PHP web development, and who are tired of writing the same code over and over (like authentication mechanisms). It is a very good choice for those looking for a framework that will not try to "dictate" how their application is designed and which choices are made. Situations where highly modular code is required and where more advanced features like queuing and hooking are needed are situations where CodeIgniter is not a good choice. More modern frameworks like CakePHP and Laravel are much better-suited. Incentivized David Lemcoe Jr. Owner and CEO Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	CodeIgniter is an MVC framework that allows us to organize our code in a manner that it is easier to maintain and update. If you are working in a team environment and building an application or website like our dashboard, then CodeIgniter is a great solution.

Cons	Faced some issue of session management, so that's why we used the Core Session library for that. It would be great if we could improve it a little bit. Frameworks provide the option to setup all getters/setters, so having this option in it is a great idea.

Return on Investment	CodeIgniter has been a very good alternative for developing API endpoint for our Android applications and we received very good output through CodeIgniter. Because the source code is smaller but comes with MVC pattern, it has the functionality to develop an application faster with MVC strategy.
