Considered Both Products	Open Source Sazzad Hossain Sharkar Chief Operating Officer (C.O.O.) in Information Technology at Akhaura Info Foundation (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose CodeIgniter CodeIgniter has a very small footprint. The source code is very small sized. Setting up a project is very easy. Follows MVC pattern. Consumes low memory and CPU. Well documented. Has a built-in forum for users to discuss and get the solution for issues. Periodically updates … Incentivized Helpful?

Code… Incentivized Helpful? Lauren Merka Senior Software Engineer in Engineering at Viumbe (Internet, 11-50 employees) Chose Laminas Project One time we needed a new site up and running fast. It needed a complicated blog style CMS with good user management and Zend just wasn't going to cut it with the time constraints. We ended up going with Expression Engine, which is built on top of CodeIgniter and I HATED it. I … Incentivized Helpful?
