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?

Open source optimization and security level complemented by potential enhancement in module development

July 10, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

The main use cases for the Laravel PHP Framework are the branch locator and multiple API creations, which I use for running APIs, executing the display of product data, and backend processing.

What is most valuable?

What I find beneficial in the Laravel PHP Framework is that it is open source, and the code optimization is executed programmatically by default. Its built-in tools and levels allow for quick application development, and its security features are good, requiring very little maintenance, while multiple tools and executing plugins are readily available.

What needs improvement?

In the Laravel PHP Framework, areas that I would like to see improved include enhancements in modules to better manage the crawling of data from the database and executing calls on that data.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with the Laravel PHP Framework for the last four to five years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

The initial setup of the Laravel PHP Framework was straightforward, though I encountered some challenges regarding compatibility issues. These issues included using the latest Laravel versions with older PHP versions and managing multiple libraries that needed to be downloaded and included, which posed challenges when migrating older applications to the latest versions.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not experienced any downtimes or crashes with the Laravel PHP Framework.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I find it scalable and have not had any scalability issues at all.

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

Before working with the Laravel PHP Framework, I only had experience with Cake and Zend Framework.

How was the initial setup?

What other advice do I have?

Apart from Drupal, I work with other technologies including PHP, MySQL, React, Bootstrap, and CSS.

With PHP, I use the Laravel PHP Framework. I have experience using Eloquent ORM in the Laravel PHP Framework in a LAMP stack. In the database, I exclusively use MySQL. I have utilized the Blade templating engine with MariaDB.

The impact of Laravel's modular packaging system on development processes is significant as it requires setting up your web server and PHP installation, with Apache executing the code in the view root directory.

The robust set of security features like protection against CSRF and SQL injections is critical in ensuring application security. In my development process, SQL injection attacks on the database are protected by storing all data in encrypted format. Additionally, I focus on proper database design, indexing with PostgreSQL, and creating stored procedures, ensuring that data is validated and checked every time a form is submitted before being inputted into the database.

From a security point of view regarding database security against SQL injections, my first priority is to check what types of data are being sent to the table, ensuring that data is always executed in encrypted format before being stored.

I chose to stay with Laravel because it is built on the Symfony framework, which provides good security as a foundation.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate the Laravel PHP Framework a 7.

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?

Development practices benefit from structured coding and efficient installation

May 21, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We have multiple projects built on Laravel PHP Framework; as of now, we have nine to ten projects. That's something we can do with respect to what is required in web development, process, or functionality.

We complete web apps using Laravel PHP Framework. The complete web app, from A to Z, we can completely develop on Laravel for APIs, as well as complete, robust applications. We can completely deploy it with Laravel.

We are using Laravel PHP Framework in several AI projects with APIs. For the back end, we have a Python server especially to handle all the AI requests which we receive. We don't directly connect the AI with our Laravel application, but we have a dedicated server which we have written in Python technology that we use with that.

What is most valuable?

I find the command line interface very valuable in Laravel PHP Framework, for instance, the migrations and all feeding from seedings to migrations. Every structure is perfectly structured and tailored for a developer to use and libraries. There's no need to use any CDNs, or we can simply install the package and get the specific features. That's a greater part of Laravel PHP Framework.

Laravel PHP Framework enhances our application security posture with various packages and middleware which are available to protect from various kinds of activities.

The most valuable features for building modern web applications in Laravel PHP Framework include the cross-factor authentication, which is handled with middleware. Those things play major roles in providing security before hacking. The route, through which we can categorize and authorize various routes in our web applications and for specific user roles, is also a significant part.

What needs improvement?

Regarding room for improvement, there are various things at the code level such as Eloquent relationships, including has one and has many, which we can optimize a bit more so that we can get the data faster. If the end developer does not know that, then that's a challenge.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with Laravel PHP Framework for about four years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

There are no specific challenges we face in Laravel PHP Framework. Everything in Laravel PHP Framework is perfectly tailored.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have had no performance or limitations with Laravel PHP Framework.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

From the maintenance point of view, Laravel PHP Framework is really developer friendly.

There is no maintenance required in Laravel PHP Framework unless the server is high, for instance, if any specific process which we have done custom with a database connection or API calls. In that case, we need to optimize our specific business logic, but there is nothing required from Laravel.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't reached out for Laravel PHP Framework tech support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Every framework I have worked with, including Laravel PHP Framework, is built on their specific architecture. For instance, Yii is different than Laravel; they are different. Each framework is useful; we cannot find the flaws in them. Ultimately, they provide structured coding practices that we were missing in code when developing core PHP. Instead of just putting a file and running it directly on the web server, with Laravel or CodeIgniter, we can code in a structured manner, which is a beneficial part.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of Laravel PHP Framework is straightforward.

The setup process of Laravel PHP Framework requires downloading the latest version of PHP initially and then getting Composer. These are the initial, primary requirements for building a Laravel project. From Composer, we need to start the project by the name using command line code. After that, we can initialize the DB connections in that specific project, if required, then run migrations, generate keys, and for testing, we need to simply run artisan serve. That is the initial phase which is really straightforward to find.

What about the implementation team?

The size of the environment with Laravel PHP Framework currently has about three to four developers working on a single project.

In my project, we usually have three to four developers working with Laravel PHP Framework.

What was our ROI?

Using Laravel PHP Framework has not impacted my development time or cost in my projects because it's a good best practice which we need to follow on all the complete architecture instead of simply getting a file and putting it directly, which we were doing in normal core PHP.

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

There are no fees associated with Laravel PHP Framework.

What other advice do I have?

There are various use cases for Laravel PHP Framework, but I don't think there are any disadvantages.

I would recommend Laravel PHP Framework to users or developers using Core PHP; this is the time they need to switch to Laravel, being a decade or more than a decade. Many people are using it. If they are still on Core PHP, then they need to switch.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate Laravel PHP Framework as a 10.

A Good Learning Tool

October 04, 2023
Review from a verified AWS customer

Hi, I'm using these tools to help me learn how to use AWS and install applications.

Laravel is a very popular framework, and I don't have the time to learn how to build servers, or learn much about AWS.

Plus, I need humans to talk to when I need help. This team is good, because they thought of everything I need.

The web panel they provide really helped me not get overwhelmed with Amazon. I just follow their videos.

Overall a very good experience. Will use again.

Nice

This laravel is quick to deploy. I'm using it to experiment with Magento Laravel API. I have used amistacx several times now, and their management console keeps everything simple and everything in one place.

I have used other free and paid, but have had issues and find other help hard to reach or does not exist.
