Built a reliable core platform that streamlines authentication and scheduled operations

  • January 16, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Our company's main system is entirely developed on Laravel PHP Framework, which we call our central system. Laravel PHP Framework is the foundation for our product's core architecture.

Our entire structure is built on Laravel PHP Framework, and the core functionalities we use it for include authentication, authorization, and keeping track of users and user permissions. All of these aspects of our system are managed through Laravel PHP Framework.

We also use Laravel PHP Framework to run our schedule-related software operations. There are weekly data syncs and monthly data syncs that are all run through PHP Artisan queues, which is a part of Laravel PHP Framework.

What is most valuable?

Laravel PHP Framework has a very organized structure for doing things, producing a modular structure that provides excellent consistency and a good layout for your project. It also supports a lot of functions and possibilities out of the box that you would have to hard-code otherwise if you use vanilla PHP, giving you a lot of control and organization skills, which is really beneficial.

Routing in Laravel PHP Framework is particularly valuable since those are the scripts that would require a lot of manual work if you use vanilla PHP. Laravel PHP Framework provides many of these capabilities out of the box, including an authentication framework, routing frameworks, middleware, and everything else. You can easily start building your own software without reinventing the wheel, making that a really good aspect of having a framework like this.

Since we started with Laravel PHP Framework, our product development time has been very efficient, and our team is very efficient and comfortable. Using this framework has helped tremendously, especially given that our developers are very experienced in this field.

What needs improvement?

I also happen to be a Python developer, and when comparing Python frameworks like FastAPI with Laravel PHP Framework, one thing I notice is that the syntax and the number of code lines you have to write to get something done is actually more than that in Python. I don't think that's a very highlighted bad case, but it's something of a concern because you have to write significantly more code in PHP to get a simple thing done than in Python. When I was a beginner to Laravel PHP Framework, I had some trouble understanding the syntax because PHP syntax was somewhat inconsistent at certain points, which I felt Python does not have. Python is very simple, and you can easily accomplish anything with Python, but Laravel PHP Framework is not exactly the same case. That's the only concern I see, but that's actually at the end of PHP itself, not Laravel PHP Framework. Laravel PHP Framework has actually done a good job of cleansing PHP of its verbose elements, so Laravel PHP Framework doesn't need any improvement mainly, but things that come with PHP cannot be fixed.

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using Laravel PHP Framework once I joined the company, so it has been about eight months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Laravel PHP Framework is stable in my experience.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We needed to scale up our workers about two weeks ago because we were getting more requests than usual, and it was really easy with Laravel PHP Framework. You can configure the PHP-FPM workers and Laravel PHP Framework picks it up, distributing the workload. When scaling up the system, using Laravel PHP Framework is really a good approach.

How are customer service and support?

We have received help from Laravel PHP Framework community all the time, and they are really helpful. There is a very enthusiastic developer community around Laravel PHP Framework who are always helping each other, which is really amazing. If you are coming into Laravel PHP Framework, you don't have to worry about getting support; there will always be someone willing to help you along the way.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We didn't have a different solution earlier.

How was the initial setup?

Laravel PHP Framework is totally free. I was not the person who set it up, but having such a powerful framework available at no cost is really amazing. I would really love to thank the developers and contributors all around the world who helped build this framework because they have done a great job, and having the ability to use it for free really means something.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't think we can answer that because there was no investment. Laravel PHP Framework was free of charge, and it is what we are built on right now, making our development very easy. However, I don't have exact figures to compare to because this is what we started with.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did consider Java before choosing Laravel PHP Framework, but we felt the development was too complex, and our developers felt more comfortable with Laravel PHP Framework, so we chose it.

What other advice do I have?

Laravel PHP Framework is a really nice framework, and it has a lot of functions that you don't see in PHP; it is actually PHP on steroids. Regarding the community, the community is really awesome and always willing to help. Laravel PHP Framework is one of the most common software development frameworks, especially for back-end development, with a lot of support coming from the community. The AI tools have a lot more understanding about Laravel PHP Framework compared to some less well-known frameworks, so if you are starting development with this, I think this would be a great choice. People say PHP is dead since 2023, but I don't believe PHP or Laravel PHP Framework would be dead anytime soon; it is really a good framework for you to start your development journey with. If you are looking to migrate, you might have to consider the trade-offs, but again, it is a good software development pathway to follow. I would rate this framework a 9 out of 10.

Longstanding framework community has accelerated secure web ticketing development on cloud

  • January 14, 2026
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for Laravel PHP Framework is using it as a backend for web applications.

A quick specific example of a web application where I used Laravel PHP Framework as the backend is our in-house ticketing system for our customers so they can open support tickets.

We are using Laravel PHP Framework for integrating web applications with SQL database.

What is most valuable?

In my experience, the best features that Laravel PHP Framework offers are that it's fairly old, having been out for a long time, so there is a lot of resources on the internet, and the community is very large. The libraries are very good, allowing you to find what you need easily.

Laravel PHP Framework has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to switch from developing the same project using Java, which took much longer, to Laravel and PHP, saving a lot of time. Our project is deployed on AWS, so we used it on AWS.

Things moved twice as fast with Laravel PHP Framework compared to Java.

What needs improvement?

Laravel PHP Framework needs to be constantly updated and modernized because it is now considered legacy, and there are many more modern programming languages that are coming and becoming more famous, easier, and more attractive for today's programmers. Laravel needs to be modernized and kept trending because it's currently considered legacy and it's slowly dying.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Laravel PHP Framework for five years.

What other advice do I have?

Since I'm not a programmer but a cybersecurity engineer, a lot of the code I write is mainly taken from publicly available resources, and having a good community that has a lot of similar code to what I need available easily has helped a lot compared to other programming languages.

I urge others looking into using Laravel PHP Framework to use it over other programming languages as it's been out for a long time. It has a lot of support, and they will easily find things on the internet to help them. Laravel PHP Framework is a very stable and reliable programming language that has a lot of room for creativity and can help you achieve whatever you want to do with your web application. It's very useful. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
