Symfony vs Laravel Similarities before the war-
Before we start discussing about Symfony vs
Laravel i.e. the differences, lets first see
what they have in common. As both of them are
from the same background as in PHP, there are
many crucial features which are present in both
of them. After a thorough research at
ValueCoders we found, Symfony and Laravel both
support Scaffolding and full text search. Cross
platform features and acceptance of multilingual
content are also common in both of them. Take a
look at the image which tells more about the
similarities.

Symfony
Symfony as a PHP framework is well suited for
large-scale or complex enterprise level projects.
It is a quite stable framework. Symfony 3.1 (the
current version) helps developers create scalable
websites that are flexible to changing business
requirements. Symfony can work with some of the
largest open source platforms such as PHPBB,
Piwik, and Drupal.

Here are some other important Symfony features

1- There are many easy scalability options
available in Symfony. With optimizing Propels,
Limiting the number of objects to hydrate,
Minimizing the number of queries with joins and
avoid using temporary arrays Symfony promises
high scalability. 2- If Symfony is
implemented well, then its speed is the sum of
the individual speeds of all the features it
includes. Or, from a different angle, Symfonys
speed is the consequence of a series of choices
that you made to decide whether a feature should
make it to the core or not. Hence, Symfony is
faster than many other PHP frameworks if you use
properly.

3- It is adaptive to users needs and offers
optimum performance. Symfony2 introduced unique
HTTP and HTTP cache handling by being an
HTTP-centric request/response framework. Also it
increases performance by allowing full use of
advance features like ESI for separating the
different parts of your page/application. 4-
Symfony provides reusable component reducing
overhead costs. There are many reusable
components that will make your life easier. You

Here are some of the key advantages of Laravel
1- PHP Framework Laravel helps with enforcing
constraints between multiple database objects
with the helps of an advanced query builder
mechanism. Apart from that, it provides an easy
version control system that helps with simplified
management of migrations. 2- The framework has
an auto-loading facility and does not need manual
maintenance and inclusion paths. Also it helps
in generating new tools with the help of an IoC
container.

3- Authentication is one the few important
parts of any web development project. With
Laravel, authentication is much simpler as it
contains the ready to use inbuilt authentication
system. You just need to configure database
migrations, controllers , models, and views to
make the system work. 4- Until now, developers
were bound to declare application events as a
string. However, you can declare new events in
the application using event object with Laravel
. The event objects created using php artisan
makeevent ltevent-namegt event header object
using php artisan handlerevent lthandler-namegt.
You can fire the events using Eventfire(new
Event(params)) once you create any new event.
This makes it much easier and faster.
